Title Piecing together the global population puzzle of wandering albatrosses: genetic analysis of the Amsterdam albatross Diomedea amsterdamensis Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication Journal of Avian Biology Abbreviated Journal J. Avian Biol.
Volume 42 Issue 1 Pages 69-79
Keywords
Abstract (down) Wandering albatrosses have been subjected to numerous taxonomic revisions due to discoveries of new species, analyses of morphological data and, more recently, the inclusion of genetic data. The small population of albatrosses (170 individuals including 26 pairs breeding annually) on Amsterdam Island in the Indian Ocean, Diomedea amsterdamensis, has been given species status based on plumage and morphometrics, but genetic data published to date provide weak support and its specific status remains controversial for some authors. We used mitochondrial control region sequence data to elucidate the relationship of the Amsterdam albatross within the wandering albatross complex (Diomedea amsterdamensis, D. antipodensis, D. dabbenena and D. exulans). Three novel haplotypes were present in 35 individuals from Amsterdam Island, and were highly divergent (3.67.3%) from haplotypes found in the other three members of the wandering albatross complex. Low levels of genetic variation in Amsterdam albatross likely resulted, at least in part, from a population bottleneck. Geographic isolation in the wandering albatross complex is maintained by high natal philopatry. As Amsterdam Island is the only breeding ground for this critically endangered species, we strongly urge conservation efforts in the area, especially in relation to long line fisheries and other threats such as disease and introduced predators, and it be listed as a distinct species.

Title Lifetime foraging patterns of the wandering albatross: Life on the move! Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology Abbreviated Journal J. Exp. Mar. Biol. Ecol.
Volume 450 Issue Pages 68-78
Keywords Diomedea exulans, Foraging movements, Lifetime distribution,
Abstract (down) Wandering albatrosses are large long-lived seabirds that inhabit the Southern Ocean. This species uses wind to move at low energetic costs and probably represents one of the best studied life-history models in animals. Here, using both tracking and isotopic data, we report on the lifetime distribution of wandering albatrosses at sea, constructing a synthesis about how their distribution, foraging movements and feeding ecology change throughout all life-history stages (i.e. juvenile, immature, pre breeding adults, breeding adults, sabbatical adults and senescent birds). Males and females exhibit different foraging strategies that change throughout their life. For instance, as males mature from young to old stages, they progressively move from subtropical waters to Antarctic waters. In comparison, females remain in subtropical waters throughout their lives, but increase their speed of travel with age. For both sexes, the first year at sea is a critical period, when the highest mortality occurs. At this stage, juveniles have already fledged and are able to use the wind optimally to maximise movement, but require several months to reach the travelling speed of adults. Immature albatrosses remain in warm subtropical waters, before returning to their birth place and future breeding grounds from where they move as central place foragers. When recruited into the breeding population, they breed every other year. In one year they invest in one long breeding season when males and females use separate foraging zones in the subtropics and sub-Antarctic, respectively. In the subsequent year (termed “sabbatical” year), both sexes disperse across the Southern Ocean, with reduced segregation between sexes. In total, throughout the approximate 50 year lifetime of a wandering albatross, an individual is estimated to travel a mere 8.5 million km. We show that the changes in habitats and foraging strategies observed though the life time of wandering albatrosses are the results of behavioural adjustment to the successive constraints encountered, such as learning processes, breeding or ageing, and have profound consequences on survival and nesting success.

Title Source Inversion of W phase Speeding up Seismic Tsunami Warning Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication GEOPHYSICAL JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL Abbreviated Journal
Volume 175 Issue Pages 222-238
Keywords
Abstract (down) W phase is a long period phase arriving before S wave. It can be interpreted as superposition of the fundamental, first, second and third overtones of spheroidal modes or Rayleigh waves and has a group velocity from 4.5 to 9 km s−1 over a period range of 100–1000 s. The amplitude of long period waves better represents the tsunami potential of an earthquake. Because of the fast group velocity of W phase, most of W phase energy is contained within a short time window after the arrival of the P wave. At a distance of 50°, W phase energy is contained within 23 min after the origin time which is the distinct advantage of using W phase for rapid tsunami warning purposes. We use a time domain deconvolution method to extract W phases from the broad-band records of global seismic networks. The bandwidth of W phase is approximately from 0.001 to 0.01 Hz, and we bandpass filter the data from 0.001 to 0.005 Hz in most cases. Having extracted W phase from the vertical component records, we perform a linear inversion using a point source to determine Mw and the source mechanism for several large earthquakes including the 2004 Sumatra–Andaman earthquake, the 2005 Nias earthquake, the 2006 Kuril Is. earthquake and the 2007 Sumatra earthquake. W phase inversion yields reliable solutions and holds promise of the use of W phase for rapid assessment of tsunami potential

Title Glacial Terminations II and I as recorded in NE Iceland Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication Geologos Abbreviated Journal
Volume 16 Issue 4 Pages 201 -222
Keywords
Abstract (down) Volcanism in eastern Iceland has controlled the changes in glacier- and river-drainage patterns and the sedimentary budget, particularly during the Middle and Late Pleistocene. The glacial extent in NE Iceland appears to be related to the impact of volcanic activity, not only on the ice-stream dynamics, but also on the sedimentary successions. Analysis of the Jökuldalur and Jökulsa á Brù records results in a new interpretation of the changes in ice extent and flow direction for at least the last two glaciations. From MIS 8 onward, the development of the Snæfell volcano apparently forced the ice stream that derived from the Vatnajökull ice cap to take another course; it also affected the offshore sedimentary budgets at the new outlet at Vopnafjördur. The MIS 6 ice sheet was thick and extensive, and associated with an ice-stream diversion to the North. The thick sedimentary complex of palaeolake Halslón was formed close to an outlet of the Vatnajökull, the Brùarjökull, during Termination II and a part of the MIS 5e interglacial.The deposits formed during MIS 5e record two climate optima interrupted by two successive glacial advances correlated with the mid-Eemian cooling. The deposits of the Weichselian deglaciation (Termination I) are much more limited in thickness. During the Last Glacial Maximum and the Late Glacial, glaciers also seem to have been restricted in the Jökulsa á Brù area. Valley glaciers issued from the Brùarjökull re-advanced several times in the Jökuldalur only during at least the Older Dryas, the Younger Dryas and the Preboreal. NE Iceland has undergone considerable deglaciation since the Bølling. In contrast to the conclusions of previous studies, the results presented here are consistent with data on the glaciations in other Nordic regions and can increase the understanding of the mid-Eemian cooling.

Title Magma flow in the East Greenland dyke swarm inferred from AMS study: Magmatic growth of volcanic margin. Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication Geophysical journal international Abbreviated Journal
Volume 159 Issue 2 Pages 816 - 830
Keywords
Abstract (down) Volcanic passive margins (VPMs) are characterized by large volumes of melt emplaced within the lithosphere during break-up processes. Several data and a recently proposed conceptual model of volcanic margin development suggest that VPMs are fed from localized crustal zones of magma storage, underlying large polygenetic volcanoes localized above diapir-like instabilities of the asthenosphere. We investigated the magma flow pattern within the coast-parallel dyke swarm of the East Greenland VPM, which is the only outcropping VPM, over a distance of 125 km. The 44 sampled dykes are representative of the successive families of intrusions. Igneous petrofabrics are constrained by the measurements of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility. The magnetic fabrics are of medium to low anisotropy (P' < 1.08) and show moderately oblate ellipsoids (T > 0) . Flow-related fabrics are recorded in 75 per cent of the sampled dykes. We infer the flow directions from the imbrication geometry of the magnetic foliation planes at the dyke margins, and check the results by measuring the preferred orientation of plagioclase in thin sections cut in the magnetic principal planes. Due to probable fabric superposition, the magnetic lineation represents the zone axis for the distribution of magnetic foliation plane. We obtained 23 reliable flow directions that are predominantly horizontal and directed away from identified crustal reservoirs. This flow pattern supports the proposed model of VPM growth, and emphasizes the localized nature of the magma sources in the mantle. The entire flood basalt sequence appears to have been fed by a restricted number of crustal reservoirs and associated dyke swarms.
