Extractions: Archive of Spotlight Feature Articles Scientists in South Carolina - the ninth fastest-growing state in the nation - and Georgia race against time to examine the effects of land use. How does land use influence ecosystems? And what role does rapid growth and development along the Southeast coast play? Various contaminants enter the coastal water system, but how do they affect our biological resources? And what can land use planners do to mitigate the effects on our environment? These are some of the questions that researchers involved with the Land Use - Coastal Ecosystem Study (LU-CES) endeavor to answer. Although the southeastern U.S. presently has one of the smallest coastal populations in the country, the region is expected to experience unprecedented growth in the coming decades. Increases of both residents and visitors are now occurring at the highest rates in the nation, and the enormous influx of tourists, retirees, and new residents is transforming the southeastern coastline. This growth is placing enormous pressure on coastal resources, watersheds, and the adjacent coastal ocean. Communities have built subdivisions, condominiums, motels, shopping centers, golf courses, new bridges, and roads to accommodate this growth - adding additional pressures on the region's marine resources.
Oceanography - Atmospheric Science The potential for climate change due to humankind's activities is an Ph.D. degreesthrough the Departments of Physics and Atmospheric Science and oceanography. http://www.dal.ca/~wwwocean/ocean_916.html
Extractions: at Dalhousie University Predicting the future of the Earth's climate is one of the most difficult problems that Science has ever tried to solve. The potential for climate change due to humankind's activities is an important issue worldwide, and the course of action taken will have major implications for this and future generations. Accurate predictions are needed to plan effectively, and advances in our knowledge of clouds, aerosols, dynamics, chemistry, ozone depletion, and atmosphere-ocean interactions is needed to respond to this challenge. Research in the Atmospheric Science Group is dedicated toward understanding the physics and chemistry of the climate system. We conduct field and laboratory experiments, perform data analysis, and develop sophisticated models. The studies are performed in collaboration with students in the Atmospheric Science Programme, which offers M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees through the Departments of Physics and Atmospheric Science and Oceanography.

Extractions: The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) is initiated and implemented under the leadership of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO, with input into its development by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), the United Nation Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Council for Science (ICSU). GOOS has been conceived as a 'user-driven' system. The structure and tasks are defined with the objective of delivering a global ocean data and products in the most efficient way to those who can use or apply this information for public benefit. Its objectives will be achieved through the development of co-operative relationships among the wide variety of entities concerned with global ocean monitoring and observation. Upon recommendation of Intergovernmental GOOS panel, Mauritius has now set up a National GOOS Coordinating Committee (NGCC) with its secretariat at MOI. NGCC would work to provide input in the affairs of guiding all oceanographic activities in the country. This Committee will be a forum to discuss the formulation and implementation of programmes in ocean science and technology in an effective and collaborative manner to reap scientific, technological, economic and geopolitical benefits for Mauritius.

These are sites maintained by large groups performing climate research by running global circulation models on really big and fast computers. A lot of sites have available images of model results (along with the model output used to make the image), and some even offer the source code of some models. The figure you see was pinched from the LLNL climate modeling site , and you can get the full sized version by clicking on it. Last checked or updated: Feb. 10, 1997 The climate group at CERFACS site has information about their current research, documents and publications, and a Climate Experiments Atlas online. They've developed an online viewing system called Vairmer to enable browsing the Atlas via the Web. [http://www.cerfacs.fr/globc/]
Extractions: macklin@pmel.noaa.gov Access Work on this project will consist of three activities: A data search activity, compilation of the bio-physical information into a meta-database or data dictionary, and providing flexible access to the meta-database by posting it on the World Wide Web (WWW) via the NOAA WAIS Server or NOAA Data Server. Meta-database Access: Digital distribution of the meta-database will be made available to researchers through the use of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the NOAA Data Server. The on-line form of the meta-database will provide instantaneous access to the collected information by providing a direct real-time link via a WWW homepage back to the meta-database for querying and viewing data online. The on-line form will be distributed via the World Wide Web from either the NOAA WAIS system or the NOAA WAIS or NOAA Data Server in a homepage format. The WWW distribution format allows a unique capability. If the meta-data record references actual on-line data then the NOAA Data Server can provide a pointer to the appropriate URL allowing the researcher to immediately move from the meta-data reference to the actual data set of interest.
Extractions: Tim Stanton and Weislaw Maslowoski Collaborative Research: The Role of Ice-Ocean Exchange in Ice-Albedo Feedback. Timothy P. Stanton , Department of Oceanography, Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, CA 93943, Stanton@nps.navy.mil, (831) 656-3144, Fax: (831) 656-2712 - I have continued to organize and edit the SHEBA CTD timeseries data, and transferred the full, 12350 profile (T,S, s q )(t,z) timeseries to the CODIAC data base in October 2000. - An analysis of the ice-camp drift upper ocean T/S structure and heat content has been submitted for publication in JGR. This paper shows that the upper pycnoline heat content was significantly higher than sparse historical observations, particularly over the flanks of the Chukchi Cap. The available heat through even modest storm-forced mixed layer entrainment resulted in observed heat fluxes in excess of 100 Wm during March 1998, causing significant early season ice melt at the camp. Wm , although the instrusions provided a robust mechanism for lateral heat transport away from mixing regions near abrupt topography (Lamb, 2000). - I am developing a new estimator for c , the thermal variance dissipation rate, which is robust to the presence of strong, inactive interleaved T/S layers. This technique exploits the dual, spatially lagged micro thermistor sensors used on the automated profiling CTD/microstructure package, allowing the spectral signatures of fine-scale layering to be distinguished from active turbulent patches. The resulting turbulent heat flux estimates have significantly lower noise, and therefore more accurate estimates of vertical heat fluxes.
