Molecular approaches to marine microbial ecology and the marine nitrogen cycle
Article Abstract:
A revolution of microbial ecology has occurred in the past few years with the advent of rapid methods for discovering and sequencing the genes of uncultivated microbes from natural environment. The molecular approaches have yielded insights into the regulations of microbial activity and proof of the microbial role in biogeochemical processes that were previously unknown.

Is El Nino sporadic or cyclic?
Article Abstract:
The predictability of El Nino, whether it is sporadic or cyclic is discussed. The way in which El Nino, one phase of a continual, self-sustaining natural mode of the coupled ocean-atmosphere, will be influenced by global warming is discussed.
