No full textWelcome to the World Register of Deep-Sea Species (WoRDSS), a taxonomic database of deep-sea species based on the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). This site was launched in December 2012 as a project of the International Network for Scientific Investigation of Deep-sea Ecosystems (INDEEP). The primary goal of the project is to build a comprehensive database of known deep-sea species and to present this as a thematic species database (TSD) of WoRMS, with all data dynamically linked to WoRMS and their team of taxonomic editors. A secondary goal is to accumulate high quality specimen images of deep-sea species and to present these on both the website and the iOS app (Deep Sea ID, currently in development) that allows offline-viewing of the complete database and imagery to assist with identifications at sea and in the laboratory. Through WoRDSS, we are also providing taxonomic references (sources) that will allow researchers and educators easier access to identification literature. The WoRDSS project provides an open-access source of quality taxonomic information and imagery on deep-sea species and at the same time enhances the WoRMS database through the provision of images, new sources and editorship. We welcome contributions and corrections. There is no single definition of 'deep-sea'. Traditional classifications have used the continental shelf break at approximately 200m water depth as the boundary between 'shallow' and 'deep sea' (Gage &amp; Tyler 1991), with further classifications of the deep sea into bathyal (~200-4000m), abyssal (~4000-6000m) and hadal (6000m+). More recent schemes such as the Marine Ecoregions of the World (MEOW) have categorised coastal and shelf areas as extending to 800m depth (Spalding et al., 2007). The Global Open Oceans and Deep Seabed (GOODS) biogeographic classification highlights the upper bathyal (300-800m) as the shallowest 'deep-sea' region (UNESCO 2009). The current criteria for inclusion in the WoRDSS database is a sample depth of greater than 500m, including both pelagic and benthic species. If a species has been recorded below 500m, it may be included in the database, even if it ranges shallower than this depth. Hence the database includes many species which have traditionally been viewed as shallow-water species, but have been recorded from the deep sea. The 500m criterion has been chosen as it is a depth at which seasonal variation in physical parameters (e.g temperature and salinity (Thistle 2003)) as well as the influence of sunlight becomes minimal. Species recorded below 500m, but are known to range above 500m, are also included as they may contribute significantly to the ecology of the deep ocean ecosystem and are likely to be encountered in deep-sea samples. The criteria for inclusion in the database will be reviewed periodically and we welcome feedback. All of the taxonomic information presented is sourced from WoRMS. Species are presented in the WoRDSS database if they are tagged with the relevant contextual field 'Deepsea' in WoRMS. All species tagged as deep-sea are also provided with a 'context source' for this information, as in this example. The initial contexts for WoRDSS were created from the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS). In addition to the OBIS sources, we have since been actively incorporating deep-sea species lists from individual institutions, scientists and projects. Please consider contributing your species lists to this part of the project to help improve the database, credit will be provided in the context source field. We are continuously sourcing and including high quality specimen images of deep-sea species. We welcome contributions. Images and their associated data are currently being handled by the WoRDSS team. Images are visible in high resolution on the mobile app (in development) and in a lower resolution on the website. We are also sourcing taxonomic identification guides to deep-sea groups. These can include original descriptions with traditional keys, monographs, reviews and online interactive keys. These are provided as links on the relevant taxon pages. Please consider contributing identification sources.,The World Register of Deep-Sea Species (WoRDSS) is a taxonomic database of deep-sea species based on the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS).</span

Past and future sea-level rise along the coast of North Carolina, USA
No full textWe evaluate relative sea level (RSL) trajectories for North Carolina, USA, in the context of tide-gauge measurements and geological sea-level proxy reconstructions spanning the last ∼11,000 years. RSL rise was fastest (∼7 mm/yr) during the early Holocene and slowed over time with the end of the deglaciation. During the pre-Industrial Common Era (i.e., 0–1800 CE), RSL rise (∼0.7 to 1.1 mm/yr) was driven primarily by glacio-isostatic adjustment, though dampened by tectonic uplift along the Cape Fear Arch. Ocean/atmosphere dynamics caused centennial variability of up to ∼0.6 mm/yr around the long-term rate. It is extremely likely (probability P = 0.95) that 20th century RSL rise at Sand Point, NC, (2.8 ± 0.5 mm/yr) was faster than during any other century in at least 2,900 years. Projections based on a fusion of process models, statistical models, expert elicitation, and expert assessment indicate that RSL at Wilmington, NC, is very likely (P = 0.90) to rise by 42–132 cm between 2000 and 2100 under the high-emissions RCP 8.5 pathway. Under all emission pathways, 21st century RSL rise is very likely (P > 0.90) to be faster than during the 20th century. Due to RSL rise, under RCP 8.5, the current ‘1-in-100 year’ flood is expected at Wilmington in ∼30 of the 50 years between 2050-2100.The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10584-015-1451-xPeer reviewe

Using clips from some of his best known works, including To Kill a Mockingbird and The Trip to Bountiful, Porter will introduce listeners to the world of Horton Foote, a celebrated Texas writer
Robert Horton and abrupt rises of groundwater.
No full textThere are 94 boxes of the scientific papers of Robert E. Horton's papers in the US National Archives. In Box 71, there are copies of letters exchanged between LeRoy K. Sherman, Consulting Engineer of Chicago, IL (and author of the classic paper on the unitgraph) and Robert E. Horton, Consulting Hydraulic Engineer of Voorheesville, NY, concerning rapid rises of groundwater levels in near-stream wells and their relationship to the storm hydrograph. They provide an interesting insight into the views of both Sherman and Horton on controls on stream flow generation, and the relationship between Horton and other hydrologists. Horton's analysis of subsurface flow processes and saturated areas anticipates later analyses of topographic controls on hydrological responses

Hook: A Memoir
No full textHOOK: A MEMOIR is a gripping story of transformation. Without excuse or indulgence, author and educator Randall Horton explores his downward spiral from unassuming Howard University undergraduate to homeless drug addict, international cocaine smuggler, and incarcerated felon—before showing us the redemptive role that writing and literature played in helping him reclaim his life. The multilayered narrative bridges past and present through both the vivid portrayal of Horton\u27s singular experiences and his correspondence in letters with the anonymous Lxxxx, a Latina woman awaiting trial. HOOK explores race and social construction in America, the forgotten lives within the prison industrial complex, and the resilience of the human spirit.https://digitalcommons.newhaven.edu/english-books/1003/thumbnail.jp
