Mississippi Delta and Mobile Bay Sediment Load
Geological Processes:
Suspended matter concentrations and patterns change very rapidly as tides, winds, and river discharge fluctuate. This strong variability complicates interpretation of remotely sensed information regarding estuarine circulation, transport and distribution of river discharge, and mixing processes. The frequent sampling required, however, to resolve tidal effects cannot be provided by data from polar-orbiting spacecraft. These data must be supplemented with more frequent acquisitions from aircraft, buoys, drifters, and ships. Satellite sensors can, however, provide global access to remote areas where coastal processes can be imaged synoptically. Sediment load in the water greatly regulates the primary production of seagrasses and phytoplankton by strongly affecting light availability within the water column. Estimates of the diffuse attenuation coefficient K and its correlation to the reflectance of the water allow some prediction to be made of the light field within a sediment-loaded environment. Suspended sediments may also act as "tracers" (streak lines) that reveal circulation patterns in areas where sea-surface temperature and/or chlorophyll pigment concentration may not be readily apparent or recoverable.

The Earth is truly a water planet with about 71 percent of the surface covered with water. This water cover prevented study of the deep submerged ocean floors until technological developments allowed improved surveys of ocean areas. Part of the reason that a revolution in geological thinking about tectonics came late is that collection of data from oceanic areas is a capability resulting from research techniques developed after 1950. Scientists follow the journalist's basic axim "who, what, when, where," but add a more basic element, how . For many years, how was incomplete in Geology, we settled for "we observe it, so something happened." We are not far out of the observational phase, but with new technology and building on the shoulders of past geologists we now have more of the how Plate tectonics has been called the revolution in geology comparable to the genetic code for biologists. But this is just one of many small "revolutions" or advances in our knowledge. Sea level changes have been understood in the light of new concepts; processes of sedimentation and changes in coastlines are looked at with new understanding. With a new millenium and within the span of a lifetime, we are able to comprehend the earth with unified theories. Remote sensing and Graphic Information Systems technonolgy are now a routine part of a geologists toolkit. Our maps and presentations are done with the computer and we take a direct part in developing the material that we present. Slow in coming, but rapidly increasing, electronic publication of papers and internet posting of conference abstracts has made data available to us. GIS base maps are available for most of the world.

    Oceanography/Marine-Related Careers A Sea of Possible Career Options Oceanography is typically divided into different academic disciplines: biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, geological and geophysical oceanography, physical oceanography, and marine engineering. Biological Oceanographers and Marine Biologists study what controls the numbers and kinds of plants and animals in the marine environment. They are interested in how marine organisms develop, relate to one another, adapt to their environment, and interact with it. Their work may examine how underwater acoustics affect fish and marine mammals, how some animals use Earth's magnetic field to navigate, or how marine plants and animals respond to pollution. To accomplish their work they may use field observations, theoretical and numerical modeling, laboratory experimentation, and field experimentation. Some estimate that the oceans contain millions of species yet to be discovered.

      Research Interests
      My primary research interests are in the Quaternary geology of Chesapeake Bay and the mid-Atlantic inner continental shelf and coastal plain. The studies have both academic and practical applications. High-resolution, seismic-reflection techniques provide data which are useful both in basic geologic studies and in prospecting for potentially minable resources of sand. Through developing a better understanding of the stratigraphy and depositional history of the coastal plain, we are better able to model the modes of occurrence of sand that might be used for beach nourishment or construction aggregate. And the detailed data from cores obtained in proving a sand resource also serve the general geological studies. The work also includes studies of the potential environmental consequesnces of marine sand mining.

      Co-ordinators : Wapenaar, Kroonenberg.
      Project scope and objectives : The objective of the image characterisation project is to decrease subsurface uncertainty, and especially to bridge the gap between the great volume of low-resolution subsurface data acquired by geophysical imaging, and the small volume of high-resolution subsurface data obtained by well logging and cores. At the one hand, a better understanding of the fundamentals of propagation of acoustic waves through rocks, and novel image processing techniques are required to increase seismic resolution. At the other hand, refining and rethinking of geological models is needed to increase their performance in predicting subsurface geometry. Matching geophysical and geological models requires the development of integrated techniques that combine different sources of information at different scales for the construction of reservoir models and the determination of their seismic, petrophysical and geological parameters.
      Technological/industrial relevance : The seismic and geological reservoir characterisation methods developed in this project are of direct interest to the oil- and gas industry.

    The Science of Earth Systems (SES) Option
    The SES Option emphasizes a strong preparation in basic mathematics and sciences and an integrated approach to the study of the earth system including the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. The aim is to prepare students for graduate study and careers across the broad spectrum of earth sciences required for successful understanding and management of our planet. The option provides a rigorous base of environmental science that strongly complements Cornell's programs in environmental and agricultural engineering. Students are required to take a second semester of chemistry, two semesters of biology, and ENGRD 201 (Physics and Chemistry of the Earth) as one of the Engineering Distribution courses. The option requires a set of three core courses , normally taken in the junior or senior years, which provide breadth and integration. An additional set of four intermediate to advanced courses are selected to provide depth and a degree of specialization. These courses permit the student to specialize in atmospheric, hydrologic or ocean sciences, biogeochemistry, environmental geophysics, an approved combination of these areas, or a combination with courses in economics, government, or education in preparation for careers in environmental law or management or K-12 education. The field requirements for the SES Option are summarized as follows. Chemistry 208 is required, and may be taken instead of Physics 214. ENGRD 201 (GEOL 201) is a required engineering distribution course. The Field Program includes BIO G 101/103-102/104 (or BIO G 109-110), the three SES core courses listed below, four additional courses selected with the advisor's approval to provide specialization in one or a combination of the areas covered by SES, and four other field-approved electives. Two of the specialization courses will count as field- required courses, and two as field-approved electives. At least three of the field-approved electives must be non-GEOL courses. The four

    Overview of Research Programs
    The faculty, marine scientists, and technical staff of the Graduate School of Oceanography conduct research in all four of the major disciplines, geological, biological, physical, and chemical oceanography (including atmospheric chemistry). Many studies are multidisciplinary. The research ranges from advancing our understanding of fundamental processes, to the development of new technologies for research and economic development, to the immediate practical application of knowledge to the solution of the problems of modern society. GSO research is conducted around the globe. This global expertise is also applied to studies in the local waters of Rhode Island and Narragansett Bay.
    GSO researchers receive externally funded awards for research, and other sponsored activities, totaling approximately $23,0000,000 per year. There are approximately 300 active awards underway at any time. A listing of awards to GSO is posted by the URI Research Office.
    Largely as a result of the sponsored research, GSO scientists publish extensively in the peer reviewed literature, in reports and conference proceedings, and books. GSO scientists also provide articles and lectures for a lay audience to bring the benefits of their research to a broader audience. A compiled list of publications by GSO scientists, students, and technical staff typically comprises about 150 publications per year.
