No full textDr. Tracey Sutton, an oceanic ecologist and Associate Professor at the Nova Southern University Oceanographic Center, will talk about NOAA’s sampling program shortly after the oil spill which studied offshore pelagic fishes (including juvenile reef fishes), shrimps, and squids

No full textA Collection of Tales by Mr. Ken Sutton
No full textNotes - Mr. Sutton tells eight trapping, hunting and fishing tales, detailing his many exciting encounters with bears, wolves, lynx and storms. He narrates a bad personal accident on a trap line where he severed the main artery to his brain (along with his ear) and lived to tell about it (much to his surgeon's surprise.) His last story tells of a heart attack in 1978 and his road to recovery (26 pages
SuchThatCast Episode 8: John Sutton
No full textJohn Sutton is Professor of Cognitive Science at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. He is currently head of the same department, having previously also been head of the Macquarie Philosophy department. He is author of Philosophy and Memory Traces:Descartes to Connectionism (Cambridge University Press, 1998), and co-editor of Descartes’ Natural Philosophy and the Sage journal and Palgrave Macmillan book series Memory Studies. Sutton and I discuss a range of topics, including the occult in literature, Descartes, shared memories, the extended mind hypothesis, identity, skills in sports, and what the role of a philosopher should be in an interdisciplinary setting. There were some audio issues in this episode, in particular some unfortunate rumbling coming from my microphone. I hope this won’t distract from the talk. I should also mention that I thought for a long time I had to label this episode with [explicit lyrics], but Sutton rightly pointed out to me that he did actually say “you folk are wrong”, not quite the same phrase I thought I heard
Sri Lanka: A Photographic Essay
No full textSince 1997, the author has worked for MAG (Mines Advisory Group), documenting the impact of landmines and explosive remnants of war on countries such as Iraq, Laos, Lebanon, Sri Lanka and Sudan. Through a multimedia approach, Sutton creates photo exhibits and films to educate the public on landmines, unexploded ordnance, and small arms and light weapons
Most of what little is known of the life of Sutton Island poet Hortense Flexner
No full textMost of what little is known of the life of Sutton Island poet Hortense Flexner (1885-1973) comes from the film and commentary created by Belgian author Margeurite Yourcenar, who called her La Grande Poetess du Maine and felt Flexner was emblematic of Bar Harbor\u27s Cranberry Isles. Detailed biography of Flexner includes criticism, poetic excerpts, and the full text of her poems Woods After Rain and Happy Country, both referring to Sutton Island

To summarize the extensive and comprehensive GoMRI-funded ecological/ecosystem impact research (“Core 3”) conducted during the GoMRI tenure (145 projects, 661 publications to date), the Core 3 leadership group organized the ensemble information into four major ecotypes: coastal, continental shelf, benthic, and open-ocean. Such an effort requires cross-cutting integration to develop higher-level takeaway syntheses for future decision making. One useful approach is to rank key taxa in terms of oil spill risk, a product of taxon-specific vulnerability and resilience to oil spill events. Here we summarize the post-spill population dynamics of the open ocean fauna based on available information, highlighting the numerous data gaps that exist (e.g., pre-spill abundance data, information on life-history processes, quantified exposure metrics). Numerous taxa exhibited dramatic population declines since the oil spill, likely the confluence of high vulnerability and low resilience capacity. Other taxa exhibited small population decreases, suggesting low vulnerability (perhaps due to avoidance capacity) and/or high resilience (high productivity over short time frames). For many taxa, the dispersion capacity of the open gulf may have exacerbated the impact of the spill rather than ameliorated it. Evidence suggests the potential of an ecosystem-level cascade that may indicate an altered ecosystem state in the oceanic Gulf of Mexico. Continued ecosystem monitoring is therefore critical to fully understand the dynamics of the putative impacts to, and the latent recovery capacity of, the gulf’s open-ocean ecotype

Deep-sea sampling on CMarZ cruises in the Atlantic Ocean – an Introduction
No full textThe deep-sea zooplankton assemblage is hypothesized to have high species diversity, with low abundances of each species. However, even rare species may have huge population sizes and play a critical role in the dynamics of deep-sea environments. The Census of Marine Zooplankton (CMarZ) study sought to accurately assess zooplankton diversity in the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones of the subtropical/tropical of the northwest and eastern sections of the Atlantic Ocean using integrated morphological and molecular analysis of large-volume samples to depths of 5,000 m. The field surveys in April 2006 and November 2007 included scientists and students associated with the CMarZ. The cruise field work entailed at-sea analysis of samples and identification of specimens by expert taxonomists, with at-sea DNA sequencing to determine a barcode (i.e., a short DNA sequence for species recognition) for selected species. Environmental data and zooplankton samples were collected with 1-m2 and 10-m2 opening/closing MOCNESS (0–1000 m and 1000–5000 m, respectively), and with either a 0.25-m2 MOCNESS or a 0.5-m2 Multi-net above 1000 m. More than 500 species were identified and more than 1000 specimens placed in a queue for barcoding on each cruise; several hundred species were barcoded at sea. For several taxonomic groups, a significant fraction of the region’s known species were collected and identified. For example, in the northwest Atlantic 93 of 140 known ostracod species for the Atlantic Ocean were collected, 6 undescribed species were found, and the first DNA barcode for a planktonic ostracod was obtained. The deployment of trawls with fine-mesh nets to sample large volumes at great depths for small zooplankton confirmed that there is considerable species diversity at depth, with more species yet to be discovered.<br/
