CAML: Census of Antarctic Marine Life

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee, Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML). The Census of Antarctic Marine Life project was designed to monitor changes in marine fish and invertebrate populations as a result of depletion in the ice shelves. The project was led by Australian scientists Michael Stoddart and Victoria Wadley, who documented more than 16,000 species, of which several hundred were previously unknown.

Sloan Foundation", Eduardo Klein's draft proposal to the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to convene a workshop entitled "Caribbean Marine Biodiversity: the Known and the Unknown", Patricia Miloslavich's proposal to the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to support a Caribbean Regional Implementation Committee (CRIC) entitled "To Strengthen the Caribbean Implementation Committee for the Census of Marine Life", and a letter of intent regarding a "South American Scientific Steering Committee for the Census of Marine Life" by Mirian Fernandez.

CeDAMar: Census of the Diversity of Abyssal Marine Life

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee, Census of the Diversity of Abyssal Marine Life (CeDAMar). The Census of the Diversity of Abyssal Marine Life examined the feeding patterns and distribution ranges of life in the abyssal plains and larger oceanic basins in the Southern Atlantic and Southern Pacific oceans, ranging from single-celled organisms to larger cephalopods. The project, led by scientists Pedro Martinez Arbizu and Craig Smith, catalogued more than 500 new species and examined the causes of change to abyssal life far removed from the ocean floor (in the form of climate change, pollution and mining efforts).

Cell biology / by Ron O'Dor

File contains Ron O'Dor's undergraduate honours' thesis, which was supervised by A.C. Wildon at University of California, Berkley.

CenSeam: Global Census of Marine Life on Seamounts

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Global Census of Marine Life on Seamounts (CenSeam). The Global Census of Marine Life on Seamounts project examined life on more than 100,000 seamounts that rose more than 1000 metres from the ocean floor, discovering new species and ecosystems similar to those on neighbouring slopes. The project, led by New Zealanders Malcolm Clark, Mireille Consalvey and Ashley Rowden, and American Karen Stocks, examined the perilous nature of these isolated communities when subject to changes such as damage caused by nearby fishing.
