"De nada saifa34 gracias a tí, no siempre lo que nos llega por varias fuentes es lo cierto, y el que nos ayudéis a conocer la realidad nos ayuda en nuestro trabajo cada día, muchas gracias. Y si hay que rectificar se rectifica. Saludos y gracias"

"Estimado Saifa, como te hemos contestado por email, se ha aclarado en el artículo que no estaban buceando con botella, y se ha tratado de refejar la realidad de la situación. Muchas gracias por tus aportaciones."

"The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation (Foundation) sponsors graduate fellowships for Doctoral students and Postdoctoral researchers conducting applied research that will contribute to improved management and conservation of coral reef resources and habitats.
In 2012, the Foundation will support one new dedicated and hardworking individual interested in contributing to research activities conducted during a multidisciplinary global coral reef expedition (www.globalreefexpedition.com). This individual will have research opportunities in a number of locations in the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Indian Oceans and Red Sea spanning the period of 2012-2015.
The primary objectives of the Expedition are to map and characterize remote coral reefs and conduct coral reef ecosystem health assessments across gradients of human and natural disturbance.
In each country a dedicated team will conduct baseline coral reef assessments using a rapid assessment protocol that combines attributes of the Atlantic and Gulf Rapid Reef Assessment protocol and the IUCN Resilience Assessments.
A major focus of the research will involve characterization of reef health with emphasis on 1) determining global and local processes that control the functioning of these ecosystems, 2) assessing impacts from acute disturbances and how patterns of recovery vary across biophysical gradients and 3) identification of strategies that can help mitigate impacts and improve the ability of these systems to withstand future disturbances.
The area of research should focus on using survey methods to identify factors that provide coral reefs with ecological resilience to threats facing these ecosystems (e.g., climate change, overfishing, etc.) and how these factors vary across gradients of human and environmental stressors. The research must also be incorporate statistical analyses examining between-site comparisons at a local scale and inter-regional comparisons at a larger scale.
The Living Oceans Foundation Fellow will receive up to $35,000 fellowship grant to cover legitimate educational and research expenses such as tuition and research field-work expenses. Fellows may receive up to four continuous years of financial support, based upon annual performance reviews, for work conducted during all legs (South Pacific, Indian Ocean and Red Sea) of the Expedition. The candidate must demonstrate excellent oral and written communication skills, be fluent in English and have the knowledge and expertise needed to develop and implement a research activity related to the mission of the Foundation and its role in marine
Ph.D. Fellows must engage in a thesis or dissertation that has direct application to the planned Living Oceans Foundation Global Reef Expedition. The candidate must also meet the requirements of graduate programs at accredited universities. All applicants must engage in research during the Global Reef Expedition, and be on board the Golden Shadow during each research mission. Research can also include field sampling during the Expedition, with sample processing undertaken at the Fellow’s home institution between legs of the Expedition. Please see http://www.livingoceansfoundation.org and click on "Education", then “Fellowships” for more information and full application criteria and requirements. Applications can be submitted by e-mail to Bruckner@livingoceansfoundation.org or mailed to: Dr. Andy Bruckner, Living Oceans Foundation, 8181 Professional Place, Suite 215, Landover, MD 20785 USA.

"Ocean Colour Remote Sensing: Optical properties of complex particle populations in dynamic coastal waters
The scattering of solar illumination by seawater plays a key role in placing physical limits on underwater visibility and imaging, determining the albedo of the world’s oceans (which comprise over two thirds of the surface of the planet) and generating the water-leaving radiance signals which are used in the satellite remote sensing of oceanic processes.

The workshop will be held at the ICMAT (Institute for the Mathematical Sciences), a joint research institute of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and three Madrid universities. It is located in the Campus Cantoblanco of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), 15 km North of downtown Madrid"

"Remote sensing has significant potential to improve our understanding of key processes related to climate change, numerical weather forecasting, and atmospheric pollution. ITARS will develop and implement a pan-European training framework for all relevant aspects from instrument to application involving academia and the private sector. For more information on ITARS, please click here.
ITARS aims at improving our understanding of aerosols, clouds, and aerosol-cloud interaction processes and their role in both climate and weather. For this purpose, the PhD projects will focus on high-end ground-based remote-sensing instrumentation, synergistic observations and/or mathematical methods.
We offer research and training in an exciting European network; a highly competitive gross monthly allowance ranging from €2679 to €5012, depending on host country and family status; secondments to our industrial partners; and excellent career-development opportunities.
We seek excellent candidates with an MSc degree (or equivalent) in Meteorology, (Atmospheric) Physics, Mathematics, Engineering or Geosciences.
Application Deadline: Review of applications begins on 1st of July, 2012, and will continue until the positions are filled.
Interview Period: early September 2012
Starting of Work: from October 2012 onward
The required qualifications and the details of the application process listed at the bottom of this page apply to all positions. Candidates who wish to apply for more than one position should send a combined application, providing a ranking of their preference. Please see the ESR project overview for details of the different projects.
