ArcOD: Arctic Ocean Diversity

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee, Arctic Ocean Diversity (ArcOD). The Arctic Ocean Diversity project was designed to catalogue animal species and microbes found in the Arctic region—on, in and under the sea ice, in deep basins and along the continental shelves. The project was led by American scientists Bodil Bluhm, Rolf Gradinger and Russ Hopcroft, who sought to document the northward extensions of ranges of Arctic fish and invertebrates.

Arctic Ocean Diversity (ArcOD) : synthesis phase renewal proposal : [draft proposal and correspondence]

File contains the June 2009 proposal entitled "Arctic Ocean Diversity : Synthesis Phase Renewal Proposal" submitted for consideration to the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation by the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The proposal was written by Rolf Gradinger, Bodil Bluhm and Russell Hopcroft. File also includes proposal review notes and correspondence between the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and Ron O'Dor.

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.

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).

Manuscripts on deep-sea hydrothermal vents co-authored by O'Dor and Verena Tunnicliffe

File includes two offprints of articles co-authored by Verena Tunnicliffe related to deep-sea hydrothermal vents, as part of the CenSeam project of the Census of Marine Life. File includes the text of "Flatfish at Seamount Hydrothermal Vents Show Strong Genetic Divergence between Volcanic Arcs" and "Deep-sea Hydrothermal Vent Animals Seek Cool Fluids in a Highly Variabel Thermal Environment".

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.

ChESS: Biogeography of Deep Water Chemosynthetic Ecosystems

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Biogeography of Deep Water Chemosynthetic Ecosystems (ChESS). The Biogeography of Deep Water Chemosynthetic Ecosystems project explored life in the hostile, acidic, oftentimes hot and corrosive deep-sea seeps and hydrothermal vents, where life thrives away from any sunlight. The project, led by British scientists Paul Tyler and Maria Baker, American scientist Chris German, and Spanish scientist Eva Ramirez-Llodr, examined more than 1000 species and expanded ranges further north, south, and deeper than had previously been explored.

CMarZ: Census of Marine Zooplankton

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Census of Marine Zooplankton (CMarZ). The Census of Marine Zooplankton project examined the diversity and distribution of ocean current-residing invertebrates. The project, led by American scientist Ann Bucklin, Japanese scientist Shuhei Nishida and German scientist Sigrid Schiels, collected more than 10,000 samples from locations around the world’s oceans, discovering nearly 100 new species.

Dimensions of Biodiversity grant proposal and correpsondence

File contains grant proposals and draft letters of intent regarding the Dimensions of Biodiversity project driven by Ann Bucklin, Ron O'Dor, and others. File also includes information related to ICoMM and OTN and correspondence between Ron O'Dor, Ann Bucklin, Kristen Yarincik, and others.

COMARGE: Continental Margin Ecosystems on a Worldwide Scale

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Continental Margin Ecosystems on a Worldwide Scale (COMARGE). The Continental Margin Ecosystem on a Worldwide Scale project examined life on the continental slopes, over the course of 60 expeditions. The project, led by French scientists Myrian Sibuet and Lenaick Menot and American scientist Robert Carney, discovered stretches of life flourishing on these marginal spaces (including heretofore unknown coral reefs off Africa). The project also examined the threat posed by oil and gas drilling on these sensitive stretches of seafloor.

Correspondence related to CMarZ projects

File contains correspondence between Miglenda Sandmeier and Terry Collins regrading a completed CMarZ cruise of the southeast US coast. File also includes a 2004 draft funding proposal excerpt.

Planning workshop for the Census of Marine Zooplankton (CMarZ)

File includes an agenda, science plan, and reports for the CMarZ workshop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, held 17-22 March, 2004. This workshop was funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Institute of Earth, Oceans and Space, University of New Hampshire.
