A Survey to Determine the Need for a Manual for the Preparation of School Psychologists\u27 Reports

The major problem investigated was the feasibility of the development of a manual which would give guidance and assistance to school psychologists in writing of reports to referring classroom teachers. It was assumed that such a manual would be used by many school psychologists if available to them

In search of tipping points in the Arctic Ocean ecosystem

The Arctic Ocean is a sentinel for climate change as it warms more than twice faster than the global average. A long list of alterations have already been documented. The future implications for primary producers and consequently for the entire ecosystem and biogeochemical cycles are still uncertain. The objective of this project is to identify tipping points in the Arctic phytoplankton dynamics, their environmental drivers and their implications for biogeochemical cycles using biogeochemical modeling

The Pan-Arctic Continental Slope as an Intensifying Conveyer Belt for Nutrients in the Central Arctic Ocean (1985–2015)

Abstract Primary production in the Central Arctic Ocean (CAO) is limited by light and bioavailable nutrients. With the decline of the sea-ice cover in recent decades, and the resulting increase in light availability, nitrate limitation has been speculated to become more prominent. We used an eddy-permitting biogeochemical model simulation to estimate nitrate advective fluxes at different spatio-temporal scales (synoptic, mesoscale and sub-mesoscale) over the 1985–2015 period. We found that the pan-Arctic continental slope contributes disproportionately to the Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen supply and that this supply is intensifying through two main processes: lateral eddy transport and upwelling. Despite this increasing supply in nitrate and an intensification of ocean dynamics, the nutrient supply is decreasing everywhere else in the central basins and the simulation indicates that the CAO is still shifting from light to nutrient limitation
