Acknowledgments
Most of the information in this site was found during extensive research - "on the web", from the comfort of my own home.
Much was accessible courtesy of my status as a student of the Open University, from publications that required subscription. This access makes the courses even better value-for-money, and ties me to them as a permanent student :-)
Via the web, I found e-mails, leading to invaluable help and support from "experts around the world", in particular
- Dorothee Baker, Senior Research Associate. School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia
Projects: ORFOIS, SOIREE and CARUSO. Specialist in Oceanic carbon cycling, Air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide, Interactions between marine biogeochemical cycles - and more.
Dorothee kindly gave me support and answered queries during the development of this site, and gave me pre-publication access to her paper ...
- Prof. Dr. Victor Smetacek, Prof. of Biological Oceanography, Head of Department Pelgaic Ecosystems, Alfred Wegener Institute
Chief Scientist of EisenEx and others cruises, and the forthcoming EIFeX (January 2004).
Victor not only answered e-mail queries, but offered information I had not thought to ask. (He also gave me permission to adapt the EisenEx logo into the image map on this site's Home Page)
- Dr Toby Tyrrell, NERC MSTB Research Fellow, Ecological and Biogeochemical Modelling, Southampton Oceanography Centre
My experimental-expedition map is adapted from one Toby used in a presentation on the "Effects of raised CO2 levels on the marine ecosystems" - a talk which also inspired the inclusion of deformed coccoliths (within "Is it Safe?")
