Who wouldn't want to go on a virtual dive with oceanographer David Gallo to explore the ocean depths (choice A)? It's nice that biologist Deborah Gordon studies ants (choice B). But it doesn't sound compelling. In fact her topic—the link between ants, the human brain, and cancer—...
As such, they require relatively calm conditions at sea for them to grow, so they're not all that common. Oceanographers Paul Dayton and Seelye Martin first observed and described brinicles in the early 1970s, and Martin actually managed to grow simulated brinicles in his Seattle laboratory,...
how it might change in the future and to what extent other planets are different or similar. This field also explores the causes and effects of natural phenomenon, including obvious everyday occurrences like ocean tides and subtle, slow changes such as the gradual drifting of continents. The stu...
Unfortunately, a 30-year study shows just how much man is to blame for this situation. In the words of Josh Willis, a NASA oceanographer, “Sea level rise caused by human interference with climate is now eclipsing natural cycles… and it’s happening faster and faster every decade.” The ...
There are several good books on this - the original Jenkins and Watt book is excellent (although out of print and not evailble in pdf form) as is a book aimed at oceanographers by Thomson and Emery (Data Analysis Methods in Physical Oceanography). The reason I originally asked this questi...
I say it is the amounts of energy they absorb from the sun. Changes in light intensity in the UV /NEAR UV light range influences to a great degree how much energy the oceans ultimately receive. When the sun is in an extreme state of minimal activity like it is now, this results in ...
September 29, 2014 —Coral reefs are among the most beautiful ecosystems on Earth —“a jeweled belt around the middle of the planet,” in oceanographer Sylvia Earle’s words. They also are extremely valuable. Reefs cover less than one-tenth of 1 percent of the ocean floor but support more...
Two Google executives said Friday that bias in A.I. is hurting marginalized communities, and that more needs to be done to ensure that this does not happen.
About 70 percent of fish caught in Japan contain radioactive cesium; 20 percent of Japanese fish exported to Canada exceed isotope ceilings for food. A marine scientist stated, “There has been virtually zero monitoring and research on this.”15An oceanographer said, “People want to know what...
