ABSTRACT Assigning the preparation of decisions to specialized committees composed of member state representatives is a widespread response to the ‘governor's dilemma’, that is, the tension between competence and control, in international organizations (IOs). We theorize a causal mechanism referring to self‐selection and agenda‐setting effects and show

Advanced Mid-Water Tools for 4D Marine Data Fusion and Visualization [PDF]
Mapping and charting of the seafloor underwent a revolution approximately 20 years ago with the introduction of multibeam sonars -- sonars that provided complete, high-resolution coverage of the seafloor rather than sparse measurements. The initial focus

MAREANO kartlegger havbunnen : MAREANO – mapping Norwegian seabed
Since the MAREANO programme was initiated in 2006, it has mapped 37 000 square kilometres of seabed off the Norwegian counties of Troms and Nordland. On the most recent expedition in June 2008, samples were collected and videos were taken down to depths of 2000 metres. The MAREANO project has mapped more than 330 new coral reefs, gas seeps and new deep-

Harmful algal blooms caused by the paralytic shellfish toxin‐producing species Alexandrium pacificum have increased in recent years in one of the most important aquaculture regions of New Zealand, the Marlborough Sounds. Reoccurring blooms have created large cysts beds in the sediments throughout the sounds. In this region, large populations of the sea

Forecasting Green‐Lipped Mussel Settlement via Feature Engineering and Random Forest Regressor
Spat settlement is vital in the life cycle of green‐lipped mussels (Perna canaliculus) and in the aquaculture industry, particularly in New Zealand. Spat, the juvenile stage of mussels, settle on substrates like ropes, initiating their growth into adults.
