Globalisation is quickly making the world smaller, but the work challenges larger. Colleagues and clients are diverse and work from different locations. How do we stay connected, efficient and productive? This title will help you to improve your business relationships, whether people are located on the next floor, in the next building, or an entirely different country.

Globalisation is quickly making the world smaller, but the work challenges larger. Colleagues and clients are diverse and work from different locations. So how do we stay connected, efficient and productive? What do we do to overcome technological, cultural and time challenges? With practical skills and effective techniques, Working in a Virtual World will help you to improve your business relationships, whether people are located on the next floor, in the next building or an entirely different country. This book gives you insights and hands-on techniques to make working in the virtual world work for you, including: communicating with clarity, using technology productively, overcoming time challenges, connecting with others, dealing with issues, being inclusive of diversity, working with cultural difference and leading effectively.

Using temperature gradients measured in 10 holes at 6 sites, we generate the first high fidelity heat flow measurements from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program drill holes across the northern and central Lesser Antilles arc and back arc Grenada basin. The implied heat flow, after correcting for bathymetry and sedimentation effects, ranges from about 0.1 W/m2 on the crest of the arc, midway between the volcanic islands of Montserrat and Guadeloupe, to <0.07 W/m2 at distances >15 km from the crest in the back arc direction. Combined with previous measurements, we find that the magnitude and spatial pattern of heat flow are similar to those at continental arcs. The heat flow in the Grenada basin to the west of the active arc is 0.06 W/m2, a factor of 2 lower than that found in the previous and most recent study. There is no thermal evidence for significant shallow fluid advection at any of these sites. Present‐day volcanism is confined to the region with the highest heat flow. Key Points Heat flow in the Lesser Antilles is similar to other volcanic arcs No evidence for subsurface fluid flow Volcanism is confined to the region with high heat flow

Volcanic activity in the Lesser Antilles island arc (West Indies) produces large quantities of ash, pumice, and rock that are delivered to the shallow and deep marine environments of the western Caribbean Sea and eastern Atlantic Ocean. On the island of Montserrat, in the northern part of the Lesser Antilles, Soufriere Hills volcano has erupted frequently since 1995 (Figure 1). About 1.1 km super(3) of andesitic magma (Wadge et al., 2010) has erupted, and much of this material has been transported into the ocean as pyroclastic fows[mdash]hot avalanches of rocks, ash, and gas that travel at speeds in excess of 160 km per hour (Wadge et al., in press). In addition, mud flows (lahars) carrying volcanic debris wash into the ocean during periods of intense rain.
