Journalists Member States Youth Women International Conference on Isotopes in Environmental Studies Opens 25 October in Monaco 18 October 2004 Finding answers to questions like these is a focus of the International Conference on Isotopes in Environmental Studies , as 400 leading scientists from 75 countries and international organisations meet 25-29 October 2004, to put the health of the worlds oceans and freshwater systems under the microscope. The venue is Monaco, France, home to the IAEA's Marine Environmental Laboratory. Contamination Oil spills, fertilizer run-off and dumping of waste and paints into waterways are but a few of the contaminants polluting the worlds oceans and seas. Environmental experts will speak about the impact of contaminants on aquatic life, and look to what can be done. One IAEA project is addressing contamination in the South Mediterranean Sea, and how to lessen the effects on industries and people who rely on its waters for income and food. Little is now known about the sources and release rates of pollutants in the South Mediterranean, but that will change. Though its technical cooperation programme, the IAEA is assisting Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia to develop isotopic tools to better investigate the marine environment and develop a joint regional approach to tackle contamination.

Extractions: Contact us The question library on water related issues Ecology is the study of the interactions between organisms and their environment. Various different species living in the same place, interacting amongst themselves and with their environment together form an ecosystem. Within an ecosystem there are several food webs. A food web is an overview of which species in an environment consume which species (plant, animal or both). A healthy ecosystem has a variety of organisms that play different roles in various food chains. If the ecosystem loses one of its members, it can be crippled. For instance, if owls in the forest food web would die out, rodents might start to multiply at an enormous speed, causing them to overrun the area and finish resources that other animals also use. Ecologists are people that study the interactions between organisms and their environment within food webs or other ecological relationships. Fieldwork is an essential component of this study. Laboratory experiments are also applied, under field conditions. Most of the time ecologists are involved in studying the natural environment and communities, but some are involved in applied ecology, using ecological knowledge in ecosystems directed by humans, commonly known as agro-ecosystems. What kind of aquatic environments are there?

Just a click of your mouse could take you to the answer you are looking for! If you still have questions about ecology, click on this link to ask an ecologist your question. What is ecology? Ecology is the study of organisms and their relationship with their surroundings. Specifically, ecologists study the interaction between an organism and its environment. An example would be the earth and us (humans). Some ecologists study this. Some ecologists study a specific species or habitat. They might study the behavior of a single species to see how it interacts with other organisms and the environment. Or, an ecologist might study many different species that either depend on each other (a food web, for example), or compete with each other for food and space. There are many fields of ecology with lots of things still to be discovered. If you want to know what an ecologist does, click check out the KDE Careers in Ecology page

Extractions: Earth is the "watery planet". Viewed from space it is predominantly blue, as 74 % of its surface is covered by water. Oceans contain 97 % of the earth's water while the remaining 3 % is classified as freshwater. Seventy-seven percent of this surface freshwater is stored as ice and 22% as groundwater and soil moisture. The remaining freshwater, making up less than 1 % of the world total, is contained in lakes, rivers and wetlands. You may be familiar with how water is always cycling around, through, and above the Earth, continually changing from liquid water to water vapor to ice. One way to envision the water cycle is to follow a drip of water around as it moves on its way. I could really begin this story anywhere along the cycle, but I think the ocean is the best place to start, since that is where most of Earth's water is.

Extractions: Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms (biotic part) and their nonliving environment (abiotic factors) Biotic factors producers, consumers, or decomposers Abiotic factors include climate, soil, temperature, water, air, sunlight, humidity, pH, and atmospheric gases. Habitat is the place a plant or animal lives, while its niche is its total way of life. Life is organized into levels: Organism (any single living thing) Population (members of the same species living in one place) Community (all the populations living in an area) E cosystem (community living in a similar habitat such as a forest) B iomes Biosphere Producers: Make their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis Includes Consumers: Can't make their own food May be herbivores (feed only on plants), carnivores (feed only on animals), or omnivores Decomposers: Break (detritus) Recycle nutrients Called detritivores Include Sunlight is the ultimate energy for all life on earth, but only producers can get their energy directly from the sun. Trophic levels 1st Trophic Level is producers that use sunlight directly 2nd Trophic Level includes herbivores that feed directly on plants Higher Trophic Levels are carnivores feeding on each other Chains show who eats whom in an ecosystem.

Extractions: The threat to water ecosystems is a complex problem because many factors contribute to their pollution and destruction. The following factors all play major roles in the pollution and destruction of water ecosystems: PCBs, DDT, metylmercury chloride, sewer sludge, thermal effluents, radioactive wastes, destruction of marshlands, and beach erosion. Methods to combat the above factors exist. More methods are being developed and need to be developed.
