    Extractions: Previous Table of Contents Next Mine Warfare Meteorology and Oceanography Programs Environmental and terrain parameters influencing MIW operations include: Bathymetry . Water depths directly affect MCM operations. In areas where the bathymetry is highly variable, mines will be more difficult to locate since they may roll into depressions or against natural or man-made objects. Knowing bathymetry and bottom topography allows operators to decide if minesweeping (vice minehunting) is required. Seawater Properties . Sonar performance is dependent on seawater properties, including temperature, salinity, and background noise. Optical conditions are also important, particularly when attempting to classify targets. Turbid, sediment-filled waters limit visibility, making it more difficult for divers or Remotely-Operated Vehicles to identify targets. Turbidity may also limit the effectiveness of laser mine detection systems. Weather . Severe weather can affect vessels and aircraft performing MIW operations. The relatively small MCM and MHC vessels are particularly susceptible to bad weather that impairs their ability to transit and/or conduct operations. Wind and wave action-induced background noise and sediment dispersion also impact sensor employment. Beach Characteristics . A beach's orientation to open water; exposure to wind, waves, and swells; and gradient determine the nature of the nearshore bathymetry and surf. Such features affect mine employment and MCM techniques used against a potential mine threat.

    Extractions: This essay serves two overlapping purposes. First, it discusses those aspects of multi-institutional collaborations in space science that are most important to generating or locating documents of likely interest to historians of science and technology. In this sense, it provides the empirical perspective necessary for archival analysis and appraisal guidelines to be well grounded in the realities of recent research. Second, it offers observations on where the institutional framework of the government-funded, multi-institutional collaboration has seemed to affect (or leave undisturbed) the social relations and acquisition of expertise that are necessary for the pursuit of scientific research. In this sense it provides a preliminary perspective on social patterns and changes within a scientific community.

Useful Contacts www.geog.ucl.ac.uk/MSc/RS The MSc in Remote Sensing is the leading Master's level programme in remote sensing in the UK. The programme, although taught at UCL, draws expertise and teaching from across many parts of the University of London. It provides students with the opportunity to study at an advanced level the ways in which remote sensing instruments in space and on aircraft may be used to collect environmental information about the Earth. The MSc appeals to individuals with backgrounds in geography, environmental science, Earth science, engineering, computing and physics who wish to deepen their knowledge of remote sensing in preparation for careers in research, in operational agencies, in space companies, in organisations that apply remote sensing techniques, and in related geospatial applications. The programme has four primary aims: to produce high quality graduates who have an all-round knowledge of remote sensing, including the fundamental principles, the current technological developments and the applications to local, regional and global problems

    Extractions: Chapter 2 - The Historical Setting Chapter 2 Contents 2.5 The Role of Observations in Oceanography The brief tour of theoretical ideas suggests that observations are essential for understanding the oceans. The theory describing a convecting, wind-forced, turbulent fluid in a rotating coordinate system has never been sufficiently well known that important features of the oceanic circulation could be predicted before they were observed. In almost all cases, oceanographers resort to observations to understand oceanic processes. At first glance, we might think that the numerous expeditions mounted since 1873 would give a good description of the oceans. The results are indeed impressive. Hundreds of expeditions have extended into all oceans. Yet, much of the ocean is poorly explored. By the year 2000, most areas of the ocean will have been sampled from top to bottom only once. Some areas, such as the Atlantic, will have been sampled three times: during the International Geophysical Year in 1959, during the Geochemical Sections cruises in the early 1970s, and during the World Ocean Circulation Experiment from 1991 to 1996. All areas will be under sampled. This is the sampling problem (See box on next page). Our samples of the ocean are insufficient to describe the ocean well enough to predict its variability and its response to changing forcing.

    Extractions: Chapter 2 - The Historical Setting Chapter 2 Contents Our knowledge of oceanic currents, winds, waves, and tides goes back thousands of years. Polynesian navigators traded over long distances in the Pacific as early as 4000 BC (Service, 1996). Pytheas explored the Atlantic from Italy to Norway in 325 BC. Arabic traders used their knowledge of the reversing winds and currents in the Indian Ocean to establish trade routes to China in the Middle Ages and later to Zanzibar on the African coast. And, the connection between tides and the sun and moon was described in the Samaveda of the Indian Vedic period extending from 2000 to 1400 BC (Pugh, 1987). Those oceanographers who tend to accept as true only that which has been measured by instruments, have much to learn from those who earned their living on the ocean. Modern European knowledge of the ocean began with voyages of discovery by Bartholomew Dias (1487-1488), Christopher Columbus (1492-1494), Vasco da Gama (1497-1499), Ferdinand Magellan (1519-1522), and many others. They laid the foundation for global trade routes stretching from Spain to the Philippines in the early 16th century. The routes were based on a good working knowledge of

    Extractions: Geophysics the physics of the Earth is a comparatively young science. Evolving into a distinct discipline only in the 19th Century, geophysics arose in the borderland between older, established sciences: physical geography, geology, astronomy, meteorology, and physics. Yet "geophysical" phonemena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, auroras, and lightning had been objects of curiosity and speculation since ancient times. In the 20th Century, the discoveries of cosmic rays, the core and mantle of the Earth, seafloor spreading, and El Nino illustrated the evolution and maturing of the geophysical sciences, which are now generally considered to include: solid earth geophysics, atmospheric and ocean sciences, hydrologic sciences, and space sciences. Like the science itself, the history of geophysics overlaps discipline boundaries. Internet resources in the history of geology, physics, astronomy, and oceanography all may contain material relevant to the history of geophysical ideas, experiments, and exploration, and the stories of geophysicists and their institutions. The online articles, bibliographies, and metasites (collections of web links) listed below are freely available on the Internet and all have at least some geophysics component. They range from educational sites written for the general public to lists of archival repositories and databases of interest to professional historians of science.

    Extractions: Before coming to Pitt-Bradford in 1981, Dr. Ed Hopkins had switched back and forth between college teaching and petroleum exploration geology. He still consults part time to the petroleum and environmental industries. Hopkins' most prized possession is his sixty acre farm and Victorian house, which he rebuilt himself. He loves the outdoors. He has recently purchased land along a coastal marsh where he plans to build a house. His hobbies include saltwater fishing, wildlife and scenery painting, and landscaping/gardening. He also enjoys learning on the Internet. Dr. Hopkins teaches Physical Geology, Intro to Oceanography, Historical Geology, Geomorphology and Environmental Systems, Sedimentation and Stratigraphy, Air Photo/Remote Sensing, Advanced Petroleum Geology, and Coastal Zone Issues. He says that he likes Oceanography because he can include all the natural sciences: physical, chemical, biological, and geological. He likes the Coastal Issues and the Petroleum Geology courses because he gets to teach his specialty, coastal geology, in both of them.
