NOAA 2000-506 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jana Goldman OCEANOGRAPHERS SAY DEAD WHALES PROVIDE DEEP-SEA LIVING LEGACY National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 's National Undersea Research Program and its West Coast and Polar Regions Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Smith, Dan Distel, Amy Baco and other individuals have found that whale bones, along with sunken wood, could be a missing link in the introduction of new species near deep-sea vents, which can reach high temperatures and spew a chemical soup that many organisms find intolerable. The researchers' results will be published in the Feb. 17 issue of the journal Nature Smith and his colleagues are intrigued by the creatures that are attracted to whale corpses. One organism, a big, orange polychaete worm that looks like a furry centipede, can be found in such numbers around whale skeletons that one researcher says it looks like the bones are covered with a orange shag carpet. But scientists have yet to learn how these worms arrive at the carcasses, where they come from, and what their role is in consuming the massive amounts of organic material - often more than 30 tons - found in a whale fall. Smith has studied two natural whale falls and three that were experimentally planted off the coast of southern California. Using a

Most oceanographers try to think of the world's oceans as one giant system, collectively known as the global ocean. But before space travel and the inventio of satellites, it was very hard to actually observe the oceans on such a large scale. Pictures of the global ocean from space have given oceanographers important information about ocean currents, temperatures, and other properties. Satellites collect information around the clock and feed it back to earth and individual laboratories and classrooms in real time. This innovation has revolutionized oceanography and given researchers important information about weather and climate, circulation, and environmental problems, such as global warming, global circulation, the world's fisheries decline, and harmful algal blooms. Perhaps more than any other group of oceanographers, physical oceanographers have benefited from satellite technology. Because they study the movement of the oceans and the forces that cause motion, such as winds, waves, and tides, they must look at the ocean from a "big picture" perspective. Shipboard measurements and the development of instruments such as computer programmable buoys that can be left at sea for long periods of time were huge advances for the field of physical oceanography and continue to be important tools, but satellites offer perspectives that early oceanographers may never have dreamed of. Imagine the discoveries Benjamin Franklin, the first person to plot the course of the Gulf Stream, could have made if he'd had access to satellite data!

El Niño puts oceanographers to the test About CNES Space central to today's key social concerns Meeting society's needs Sustainable development ... Observe, understand, predict El Niño puts oceanographers to the test The chain of disasters that El Niño left in its wake in 1997 and 1998—drought, flooding, storms and more besides—is still fresh in the memory. Flood in Peru Lima, the Peruvian capital, was hit first by mudslides from the foothills of the Andes. Then it was the turn of 18 of Ecuador’s 21 provinces to feel the effects. Yet across the globe, in Papua New Guinea, soils made rock hard by drought left one quarter of the population with nothing to eat but roots. El Niño is a climatic phenomenon that regularly turns up off the coast of Peru. The 1997-98 event was the most severe of the century, claiming thousands of lives and leaving a trail of destruction costing several billion euros. Drought in Papua New Guinea El Niño returned in July 2002, but this time it was much milder. Since the “El Niño of the century”, the scientific community has learned a great deal more about the phenomenon. Today, space-based and terrestrial systems are helping to forecast El Niño and pave the way for climate prediction. Crédits : Illustrations D.Ducros - Photos : NASA, NOAA

@import "/uwpress/uwpress.css"; Search Directories Reference Tools UW Home ... Book Search Book Search Oceanographers and the Cold War Disciples of Marine Science Jacob Darwin Hamblin Oceanographers and the Cold War is about patronage, politics, and the community of scientists. It is the first book to examine the study of the oceans during the Cold War era and explore the international focus of American oceanographers, taking into account the roles of the U.S. Navy, United States foreign policy, and scientists throughout the world. Jacob Hamblin demonstrates that to understand the history of American oceanography, one must consider its role in both conflict and cooperation with other nations. Paradoxically, American oceanography after World War II was enmeshed in the military-industrial complex while characterized by close international cooperation. The military dimension of marine science - with its involvement in submarine acoustics, fleet operations, and sea-launched nuclear missiles - coexisted with data exchange programs with the Soviet Union and global operations in seas without borders. From an uneasy cooperation with the Soviet bloc in the International Geophysical Year of 1957-58, to the NATO Science Committee in the late 1960s, which excluded the Soviet Union, to the U.S. Marine Sciences Council, which served as an important national link between scientists and the government, Oceanographers and the Cold War reveals the military and foreign policy goals served by U.S. government involvement in cooperative activities between scientists, such as joint cruises and expeditions. It demonstrates as well the extent to which oceanographers used international cooperation as a vehicle to pursue patronage from military, government, and commercial sponsors during the Cold War, as they sought support for their work by creating "disciples of marine science" wherever they could.

Lee and the team of scientists present new data on the distribution of volcanic ash from the oldest Toba eruption in Ocean Drilling Program cores and piston cores in the South China Sea and Indian Ocean. By using high-resolution litho-, magneto-, and oxygen isotope stratigraphic records, the geologists were able to clarify the correlation between distribution patterns in the cores, refine the age of the layers, and re-estimate the eruptive volume of the early eruption of Toba. The results of their analysis indicate that the glass shards from the first Toba eruption 788,000 years ago were dispersed more than 2,000 miles from the source. Fallout from the eruption was deposited from clouds that drifted over both the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, producing an extensive ash blanket that may have been comparable in size to that of the last Toba eruption 75,000 years ago.

Skip to content Ancient mariners surprise oceanographers 29 April 2004 Satellite imaging techniques are shedding new light on an ancient map of the northeast Atlantic - the Carta Marina - published in 1539. The ornate map, seemingly crude by today's standards, depicts sea monsters off the coast of Scotland, sinking galleons, sea snakes, and wolves urinating against trees. Image : Small section of the Carta Marina When oceanographers from Plymouth Marine Laboratory and the University of Rhode Island compared a large group of swirls, shown on the chart off the east coast of Iceland, with thermal images from an Earth observation satellite they found the swirls corresponded almost perfectly with the Iceland-Faroes Front - where the Gulf Stream meets cold waters coming down from the arctic. The cartographer, Olaus Magnus, an exiled Swedish priest living in Italy, had a dislike of blank canvases and covered every available space with ink. But Professor Tom Rossby, from the University of Rhode Island, believes not every elaborate quill stroke was artistic licence.

Covering 70 percent of the planet, the ocean's benign blue suggests to the extraterrestrial viewer a natural unity that humankind has sought, but never found. Most of us grew up regarding the word ocean not as part of a dynamic whole, but rather as the sum of more particular regional parts. Too often, we understand one or two trees, but have little sense of how they relate to the forest. In Oceanographers and the Cold War, Jacob Hamblin would have us appreciate the history of the ocean sciences in the same way. He claims that postwar oceanography had a "cold war" side and...
