ARCHEAN EARTH AND CONTEMPORARY LIFE: THE TRANSITION FROM AN ANAEROBIC TO AN AEROBIC MARINE ECOSYSTEM View Abstracts Poster Session 30 Abstracts "We know with increasing certainty from geologic biomarkers, fossils, and molecular phylogenies that the organisms most likely responsible for this rise, the ubiquitous cyanobacteria or their ancestors, were surely present at least half a million years prior to the rise. So why the lag?" The rise of oxygen is a great science question. It is unique because there are as many theories that postulate the event as dominated by physical processes as there are ones that predict it was a biologically mediated phenomenon. This session will bring oceanographers, genome analysts, and geoscientists with their competing theories, together in one venue with the hopes that a more substantive and accurate picture of what may have actually occurred can be brought to the fore. The newest discoveries are coming from papers that are multidisciplinary in nature: David Catling , from the Space Science Division of the NASA Ames Research Center and the SETI Institute, will build on the idea that the Archean atmosphere was dominated by methane as the primary greenhouse gas, but expands it to include an explanation for the oxidation of Earth. He postulates that the kinetic effects of oxygen and methane are reversed from today; in effect hydrogen escape to space was inescapable and oxygenation of the atmosphere was irreversible.

MMS ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES PROGRAM: ONGOING STUDIES MMS OCS Region: Gulf of Mexico Title: Deepwater Program: Study of Physical Processes Over the Slope and Rise Using Numerical Models (GM-99-06) Total Cost: Period of Performance: FY 1999-200 Conducting Organization: MMS Contact: Dr. Carole L. Current Description: Background Deepwater leasing is advancing at an accelerated pace. This pace is fueled by technological advances (extended drilling, 3-D seismic, enhanced computer and graphic capabilities), new geological provinces (sub-salt plays and deepwater), and the deepwater Royalty Relief Act. We expect deepwater exploration and development will progress rapidly under stimuli of high flow rates, high volume, and technological advances. At present the only numerical modeling study of physical processes conducted in the Gulf focused on the shelf and shelf edge (Oey, 1995). A similar study in the slope region where industry activities are taking place has not been conducted. All previous efforts have essentially been directed at producing grid fields of currents for risk analyses. The available data, or anecdotal information, suggests that the Loop Current and smaller eddies are very active. The bottom relief in the slope and rise drives different physical processes making this a little-understood oceanographic province. Objectives The objective of this study is to adapt eddy resolving numerical models to the rise, slope, and adjacent shelf of the northern Gulf of Mexico for the purpose of reproducing and studying the dynamics of the three-dimensional, physical oceanographic processes known to exist there. In particular, the models will resolve features such as 30-50 km eddies and will handle realistic bottom relief. The model will reproduce the three-dimensional currents associated with eddy-slope, eddy-eddy, and Loop Current-eddy interactions as well as other known physical phenomena in the area. The model will be used to determine the optimal sampling scheme to modify ongoing field observations in the area.

U.S. Geological Survey Mission Statement Mission of the U.S. Geological Survey is to serve the Nation by providing reliable scientific information to: Describe and understand the Earth; Minimize loss of life and property from natural disasters; Manage water, biological, energy, and mineral resources; and Enhance and protect our quality of life. Created by an act of Congress in 1879, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has evolved over the ensuing 120 years, matching its talent and knowledge to the progress of science and technology. Today it stands as the sole science agency for the Department of the Interior. It is sought by thousands of partners and customers for its natural science expertise and its vast earth and biological data holdings. The USGS serves the Nation as an independent fact-finding agency that collects, monitors, analyzes, and provides scientific understanding about natural resource conditions, issues and problems. The value of the USGS to the Nation rests on its ability to carry out studies on a national scale and to sustain long-term monitoring and assessment of natural resources. Because it has no regulatory or management mandate, the USGS provides impartial science that serves the needs of our changing world. The diversity of scientific expertise enables the USGS to carry out large-scale, multi-disciplinary investigations that build the base of knowledge about the Earth. In turn, decision makers at all levels of government citizens in all walks of life have the information tools they need to address pressing societal issues.

Geological Sciences Concentrations Our four AB and ScB concentration programs stress critical thinking and development of the analytical and communication skills important for personal and career development. Our curriculum offers flexibility and diversity. Research opportunities encompass a broad spectrum of basic and applied investigations, often linked with environmental sciences, engineering, materials science, archaeology, space science, astronomy, economics, international relations, or meteorology. A summer field program or a semester of off-campus study can broaden perspectives. Size is Important Brown Universitiy Geological Sciences Concentration Requirements Standard program for the A.B. degree This program provides a broad introduction to the geological sciences. Recommended for students seeking a liberal education and a general understanding of Earth processes and Earth history. Especially attractive for double concentrations, such as geology and economics as a career path to law or business, or geology and English as a career path to journalism or technical writing.

SOUTH CAROLINA EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS: Social Studies: Grade 6.6.1: Describe how different physical processes shape places. FIVE STEP LESSON PLAN Set Induction/Anticipatory Set: Ask the students if they know how mountains were formed? Do they know why rivers are located in certain areas and not others? Ask if they know how the Grand Canyon was formed. Do they know what a plateau is? A mesa? A moraine? Instruction/Teaching to the Objective: Tell the students that you have asked a local scientist (geologist, civil engineer, geological engineer) to give an exciting presentation describing some of the physical processes that have helped form your state. Tell them that this person has a very good understanding of the formation of the rivers, mountains and other features and that they should feel free to ask questions following the presentation. Guided Practice: Introduce the speaker and explain that you have been studying the methods that physical processes have shaped places in your state or community. Tell the students to take notes so they can discuss the topic the next time the class meets.

In contrast to the narrow specialization of present-day scientists some great physicists in the nineteenth century made significant contributions to numerous branches of science. England recognized this breadth and depth in Sir William Thomson and elevated his title to Lord Kelvin. It was Kelvin's brilliant thermodynamic analysis that gave us the absolute temperature scale that bears his name. When the Atlantic cable was laid it took the ingenious electromagnetic developments of Kelvin to make it a workable device. His best papers are to be found in a six volume set, Mathematical and Physical Papers, Lord Kelvin
