Extractions: Of this number, 18 are in the Pacific Ocean, three in the Atlantic Ocean, and one in the Indian Ocean. Where, and What is the Mariana Trench? The Mariana Trench is located in the Pacific Ocean, just east of the 14 Mariana Islands (11"21' North latitude and 142" 12' East longitude ) near Japan. As you probably already know, it is the deepest part of the earth's oceans, and the deepest location of the earth itself. It was created by ocean-to-ocean subduction, a phenomena in which a plate topped by oceanic crust is subducted beneath another plate topped by oceanic crust. The deepest point in each of the earth's oceans are as follows; the Arctic Ocean's Eurasian Basin at 5,450 meters (17,881 feet) deep, the Indian Ocean's Java Trench at 7,725 meters (25,344 feet) deep, the Atlantic Ocean's Puerto Rico Trench at 8,648 meters (28,374 feet) deep and the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench at 11,033 meters (36,201 feet) deep.

http://www.meer.org/mbhist.htm

Extractions: modified from Singer, 1921 About this time, however, observations of natural phenomena related to the seas and oceans began to be written down. Herodotus, around 450 BC, wrote of the regular tides in the Persian Gulf, the deposition of silt in the Nile Delta, and uses the term "Atlantic" for the first time to describe the western seas. In the fourth century, the Phocaean colonists of Massila (Marseilles), sent the Greek astronomer Pytheas on a voyage out of the Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar), where he traveled to Britain, Germany, and the Baltic Sea. He describes conditions in a distant far northern sea, which may have been in the Arctic (he describes it as having a 24 hour day at the summer solstice), as thick and gelatinous like a jellyfish (these waters are at times thick with gelatinous organisms of various kinds).

Extractions: The Cumulative Bibliography on the History of Oceanography (CBHO) was published annually in the History of Oceanography Newsletter beginning in 1987 and through 1997, in order to gather in one place the scattered literature on the history of oceanography. CBHO strives to list all works on the history of oceanography. Biographical items like biographies and obituaries are compiled separately. CBHO was compiled from 1987 to 1997 by Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre, Librarian of the Musee Oceanographique in Monaco and Secretary of the Commission of Oceanography of the International Union of the History and Philosophy of Science, Division of History of Science. More recent citations are being compiled by Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archivist, and are listed at the end of this bibliography (not interspersed throughout the initial alphabetical arrangement.) CBHO includes all works on the history of oceanography, except biographical items like biographies and obituaries. There is no comprehensive bibliography on the history of oceanography before 1987.

Extractions: Featured Career ... Emily M. Klein View full profile â¦ Every research cruise holds the potential for a surprising discovery â something that perhaps will overturn conventional wisdom. It takes luck. But it also takes scientists who can work together, think creatively, question assumptions, and follow where the data lead. For Emily Klein, a marine geochemist at Duke University, uncovering the unexpected has become almost routine. Anticipating what surprises await is for her one of the most rewarding parts of research. Emily studies volcanic eruptions and the creation of new crust on the ocean floor. To understand these eruptions, she focuses on processes that take place beneath the ocean floor, such as where the magma comes from and how it moves through the crust. Emily finds clues to these hidden processes by studying the chemical makeup of lava collected from the ocean floor. The presence of crystals and variations in the amounts of both common and rare elements and isotopes in the lava can tell Emily a great deal about magmaâs journey to the surface. New ocean crust is created along the mid-ocean ridges that thread their way through the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. These undersea volcanic mountain chains rise at the edges of diverging tectonic plates. As the plates pull apart, magma wells up from the magma chamber, pushing through cracks in the crust towards the surface. Magma that does not reach the surface solidifies in these cracks, forming slabs of lava inside the crust called dikes.
