Marine Spatial Planning fundamentals: worldwide status, trends and best practices

Abstract Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) provides an important tool for sustainably managing mounting pressures on the living and non-living resources in marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ). Taking into account the interests of sectors and nature conservation, MSP fosters processes related to stakeholder exchange and collective governance mechanisms. A large amount of experience has been gained at national or regional level on how to apply MSP in cross-border situations. This chapter highlights the existing legal framework and which organisations could foster MSP in ABNJ. Furthermore, it assesses whether existing MSP tools are somehow transferable to ABNJ and shows first results of MSP projects in these areas.

A system of rate equations was used to study the unusual behavior of the EL2 defect in SI-GaAs. Experimental results show a strong correlation between the position of the Fermi level and the appearance of either negative or positive EL2 peaks. The applied model reproduces experimental results and provides a mechanism which explains the occurrence of negative EL2 peaks. Besides the numerical simulation we also adapted a simplified trap model which leads to a qualitative understanding of the negative PICTS peak effect. Furthermore, the existence of negative peaks can be viewed as evidence for the presence of a recombination center besides the EL2 in the analyzed samples.
