Thanks a lot Fred for posting the sites that featured the news of our paper which appeared in the journal Science today. The paper is titled "Warming of the Eurasian Landmass Is Making the Arabian Sea More Productive", Joaquim I. Goes, Prasad G. Thoppil, Helga do R Gomes, and John T. Fasullo. Science 22 April 2005: 545-547. It can be found at http://www.sciencemag.org/content/current/ and then click on Reports. We think that our findings have serious implications for coastal communities on both side of the Arabian Sea and that global warming is going to seriously impact fisheries resources of that region. I haven't been a very active goanetter lately or after returning form the Antarctica. I am still wading through all the old posts and polemics - I think there was even one on global warming?!!! ----Helga .
Joaquim Goes (whose wife Helga went to Antarctica recently) is in the news for his research released in today's issue of the prestigious 'Science'. Scidev.net, a site looking at issues of science and development (they have a special South Asia edition) explains the story well at: http://www.scidev.net/News/index.cfm?fuseaction=readNews&itemid=2057&languag http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/04/050421204327.htm http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2005/apr/HQ_05100_plant_blooms.html http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2005-04/22/content_2862740.htm http://www.physorg.com/news3826.html http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/node/7635 http://www.yubanet.com/artman/publish/article_20139.shtml http://www.mysan.de/article85111.html http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/04-21-2005/0003442095&EDATE= http://www.innovations-report.com/html/reports/life_sciences/report-43461.html http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=16715 http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-04/nsfc-nsf042105.php http://www.scidev.net/News/index.cfm?fuseaction=readNews&itemid=2057&language=1
