    Extractions: document.write(''); Phenomena, Comment and Notes Experiments at sea show we can cause phytoplankton to bloom in areas where it otherwise would not. This could remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and slow global warming A light industrial area on the outskirts of Salinas, California, is probably the last place that you would think to look for an oceanographic institute. Yet, that is exactly where I found the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, the birthplace of one of the decade's most startling scientific experiments. It was 1987 when oceanographer John Martin at Moss Landing first conceived what has come to be called the "iron hypothesis." Martin, who died in 1993, was a rather extraordinary individual. Working from a wheelchair since a bout with polio, he nonetheless managed on occasion to ship out with his research teams aboard the cramped, overcrowded vessels that are the oceanographer's primary labs. He noted that there are huge areas of ocean (mainly in the waters surrounding Antarctica and in the equatorial Pacific) that have large amounts of nutrients in the form of nitrogen compounds, but very few plankton. These regions also seem to have very low concentrations of iron-on the order of two parts per trillion. Just as lack of a single vitamin or trace mineral can stunt the growth of humans, Martin argued, the dearth of plankton in these otherwise nutrient-rich waters was because of the scarcity of iron. But draw enough carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, scientists predict, and that temperature will drop. "Give me a half a tanker of iron," Martin once said, "and I'll give you the next ice age." It wasn't all bluster. Scientists now estimate that iron fertilization could, in principle, remove as much as 20 percent of the human-generated carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at a cost less than alternatives such as large-scale tree planting.

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

    Extractions: Dr. Vitalii Sheremet and Dr. Peter Cornillon, both physical oceanographers at the Bay Campus in Narragansett will receive nearly $590,000 to study ocean currents off the coast of Nova Scotia. Dr. Dave Hebert of the GSO, who is working with Dr. Miles Sundermeyer of UMass-Dartmouth, will receive almost $570,000 over four years to study how the rotation of the Earth affects ocean currents. Sheremet and Cornillon's study of the water crossover between Nova Scotia and the Atlantic area known as Georges Bank will help oceanographers to understand why water occasionally shifts course instead of flowing into the Gulf of Maine. Cornillon said if this occurrence happens at the wrong time of the year, it can have negative effects on the rich wildlife in Georges Bank. The goal of the experiment is to understand the physics of the change, which has never been able to be explained. The team of Hebert and Sundermeyer are working to understand the velocity of the ocean and how the Earth's movement affects it. Cornillon said their main tool is called a rotating table that rotates at a constant rate at one rotation every six seconds. The rotation of the table simulates the rotation of the Earth, which affect tanks of water on top of the table used to simulate oceans.

    Extractions: UNC-CH News Services CHAPEL HILL Oceanographers and environmental scientists from around the world will meet at the North Carolina Supercomputing Center in Research Triangle Park next month to start developing sophisticated computer simulations of the ocean's climate and marine animal populations. The Jan. 15 - 17 workshop underscores the growing need for international cooperation in developing effective, economical controls to protect the ocean's fisheries, said Dr. Francisco Werner, professor of marine sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The workshop is hosted by MCNC's North Carolina Supercomputing Center and UNC-CH and sponsored by Globec, Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics, a joint program of the National Science Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Eventually, Werner said, simulated computerized maps of the ocean could help scientists understand whether decreasing fish populations are being caused by man or are occurring naturally. That knowledge, in turn, could help the world better manage its fisheries.

    Extractions: Oceanographers use naturally occurring radium to measure ground water input to Rhode Island salt ponds In a recent study, reported in the Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, Scott and Moran collected and analyzed water samples from Rhode Island salt ponds and several local residential drinking wells, as well as sediment cores from each pond to determine how much 226Ra was present in the water and sediments. The radioactive element radium was discovered in 1898 by Marie and Pierre Curie in pitchblende (or uraninite) from North Bohemia. It is commonly used to make self-luminous paints, as a neutron source, and for the treatment of conditions such as cancer. It is a white alkaline earth metal that tarnishes black upon exposure to air. It luminesces, decomposes in water, emits radioactive radon gas, disintegrates radioactively until it reaches stable lead, and is a radiological hazard. With a half-life of 1,600 years, radium is more than a million times more radioactive than the same mass of uranium ( http://www.webelements.com/

    Extractions: B usiness O pportunities REGISTER HERE LOGIN URI Biological Oceanographers Test How Shallow Marine Systems Respond to Increased Nutrients Most of the efforts to determine how estuaries respond to nutrient enrichment have been confined to relatively deeper and/or muddier river mouth estuaries. However, much of the Atlantic coast from Cape Cod to Cape Fear, as well as parts of the Florida coast and almost all of the Gulf Coast is characterized by a different type of coastal system, called by various names, including lagoon, inland bay, and salt pond. These more complex shallow systems are now facing increasing nutrient enrichment from agriculture and suburban housing development with associated on-site sewage disposal systems and ground water nitrogen enrichment. A team of scientists at the URI Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) have focused their research on these very shallow lagoon type estuaries to determine if there are predictable patterns of response to nutrient enrichment in these more complex systems. The research team includes biological oceanographer Dr. Scott Nixon, research associates Betty Buckley and Steven Granger, and recent Ph.D. graduate Joanne Bintz. According to a recent article in the journal Human and Ecological Risk Assessment, the scientific team summarized data from 30 systems with mean depths ranging from 1-12 feet and water residence times from .3-100 days. In addition the team designed and built a coastal lagoon mesocosm facility where they replicated and controlled nutrient inputs, mixing rates, and water resident time. Fed by water from Narragansett Bay, the mesocosms had a variety of typical coastal lagoon organisms added to them, in addition to the plankton that enter with the bay water and the animals contained in the sediment.

    Extractions: Coastal Environments Interactive Symposium on Developments in Operational and Research Coastal Oceanography and Meteorology An Academic Perspective on Educating Operational Oceanographers Mary L. Batteen , NPS, Monterey, CA The mission of our oceanography department is to provide a sound understanding of the science of physical oceanography, and to develop the technical expertise to provide and use oceanographic and acoustic data and models in support of sea operations and undersea warfare. Several curricula have been developed to meet these needs: basic oceanography, operational oceanography, undersea warfare, and a unique joint degree in meteorology and physical oceanography. The department has developed a broad research program focused on basic and operational physical oceanography to meet the anticipated future needs of the Navy. Important basic research themes are the development of the scientific capabilities to measure, analyze and forecast fields of coastal ocean variables that occur in association with synoptic/mesoscale processes over limited regional and temporal domains. The areas of emphasis include coastal and nearshore dynamics, air-sea interaction phenomena and boundary currents. Regions of interest include the coastal ocean regions and strategic seas and straits of the world. Priority applied research areas are the application of analyses and forecasts of upper ocean synoptic/mesoscale variability to Naval operations. Areas of interest include the impact of littoral processes, eddies and boundary currents on ocean surveillance systems, the effect of coastal ocean response to storms on acoustic propagation and ambient noise, and the impact of wave, climate and beach characteristics with nearshore processes and their impact on mine/mine countermeasures and amphibious warfare.
