1930s Oceanographic Research

Archaeology is a continuously evolving field where there is a constant stream of new branches and excavation methods. Due to the influx of new technologies and innovations in recent decades, archaeologists have been able to excavate previously inaccessible areas. For example, new diving equipment and tools such as proton magnetometers, side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profiler, and miniature submarines have allowed archaeologists to dive into the deep depths of the ocean. As a result, the branch of underwater archaeology was created to search for shipwrecks and other artifacts on the ocean floor. Underwater archaeology’s role has increased in recent years as it allows archaeologists to more accurately interpret the past by supplementing

Astonishingly, Did you know that we have better maps of the moon than we do of the ocean? (#7) It’s true! Scientists are working to make drones to explore the deep sea. Ocean Exploration is a developing science that incorporates the use of marine biology and drone technology. Ocean Exploration technology will be an overall benefit to society because 1. exploring the ocean is easier than before and 2. ocean exploration can help with monitoring the deep sea.

Robert Ballard was one of the great explorers who discovered numerous secrets about the deep sea and science while encountering new creatures and natural resources as he explored and exchanged new ideas of using technology and incorporating it into his discoveries. Ballard is known for two of his most famous findings: the shipwreck of the Titanic and the Bismarck. The ideas of using technology to assist with his findings helped him create his own equipment with his team to find out more about the deep sea. The idea came from previous discoveries where he saw the Earth’s curst crack and how it affected marine life, geology and geophysics. This led him to become intrigued and continue on to more research to show the world the mysteries of the ocean. Ballard’s exploration of the deep sea provided encounters that led to a better understanding of plate tectonics and the environment, the use of technology to find historical treasures, and the preservation of history left behind in the deep sea.

The origins of modern oceanography began with the Challenger Expedition (1872-1876). Funded by the British Royal Society, it was the first scientific expedition organized specifically for oceanic exploration. Research, data, and discoveries made aboard the HMS Challenger were recorded, made into reports and published in fifty volumes that are still used by scientists today.

The deep sea normally is interpreted as the lowest layer in the ocean, existing below the thermocline and above the seabed, at a depth of 6,000 feet or more. As shown in the novel, the deep sea has been a mysterious and interesting theme for a long time. The subject area of the deep sea attracts many readers; therefore, it became a topic of many pieces of literature and science magazines. As a result, a lot of research has focused on investigating the deep sea. However, why do we have to conduct such research?

After graduating high school, I spent three months in Japan learning languages. There, I could engage with people from all the different backgrounds. Although it was a short period, only living in three months in Japan widened my perspectives. Semester at Sea will more open my perspectives also engaging in South Asia, Africa and Europe.

The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest of the world's oceanic divisions, following the Pacific Ocean. With a total area of about 106,400,000 square kilometres (41,100,000 sq mi),[1] it covers approximately 20 percent of the Earth's surface and about 29 percent of its water surface area. The first part of its name refers to Atlas of Greek mythology, making the Atlantic the "Sea of Atlas".

For the longest time I wanted to be a marine biologist, so I decided to take an Ocean Science class this semester and my professors name is Mr. Wayne T. Marko. I decided to interview him for that very reason. I wanted to know why he chose his field, but also why he likes to teach about the ocean. Mr. Marko has his Ph.D. in Geoscience and his M.S. in Geosciences from Texas Tech University. He also received his B.S. in Geological Sciences at the University of Southern California. Mr. Marko’s research concentrates on the structure, petrology, and tectonic environments of igneous and metamorphic rocks. He also has publications about his research.

Oceanography is and always will be my life. I spent most of middle school through college with one goal in mind, and that was to study and explore the ocean. A little more than half way through college I started thinking about what exactly I would be doing after I graduated. I hadn’t quite figured it out at the time. Eventually I started to think that I would just go to grad school and specialize in Chemical Oceanography or something. Senior year came and went and I started to pay more attention to the elections. The elections were what finally helped me decide on what I have to do.

More than three million shipwrecks would accepted will lie on the seabed, the bring about shortages about storms and mishaps Throughout many a considerable length of time of sea-borne exchanging. These wrecks offer marine archaeologists profitable majority of the data around the culture, innovation organization Also trade designs from claiming old civilisations, yet the lion's share have been excessively profound with Examine. Scuba jumpers could best work down with 50 metres, which breaking points operations on wrecks close to the coast, which have regularly been harmed Eventually Tom's perusing storms or plant development. A couple profound ocean destinations (such as those Titanic) bring been investigated Eventually Tom's perusing manned

The ocean is not just where the ocean covers the land but on the seafloor to. The oceans have been around for hundreds of millions of years. The real questions are, how did the ocean come to be, and was it the key reason for the creation of life. There are many theories for life and all creation but first we need to understand what really triggered the world and its creation to create.

In summary, underwater exploration has a good prospect to uncover new scientific data that can help solve some of our leading epidemics. A reliable and advanced means of data collection are necessary to successfully extract these specimens. As shown with the Nereus and Deepsea Challenger underwater exploration vessels, we currently have the technology that allows us to send submersible research vehicles both manned and remotely operated to the deepest parts of the ocean. With the technology and resources ever expanding, it is possible to improve the design and increase research of our

In 1875, the ocean trenches was discovered by the HMS Challenger. They used sounding equipment during the global circumnavigation. Ocean trenches are these deep depressions that are the deepest parts of the ocean. These may be the deepest parts of the ocean but they only represent 1 percent or maybe even less of the entire area. The steep walls and the massive submarine slopes make up something called the hadal zone, which is a filled with a diverse number of species. Some of these species today are still new or unknown to science. The ocean trenches are formed due to subductions, which is a geophysical development where two or more of the Earth’s tectonic plates join and the older and denser the plates are, they are then pushed under the lighter plate and deep into the mantle. This will cause the ocean floor to bend and form a steep depression.

Forty-six years later, May 8, 1991, a computer-controlled submarine scanned the ocean floor for sunken galleons. On this day, the crew of the Deep Sea would be unsuccessful in their search for galleons. Instead, 750 feet below the surface of the ocean, they would discover the outline of an

In 1977, a team of scientists set out to a location northeast of the Galapagos Islands to photograph the floor of the mid-ocean ridge (. Never did they expect to make one of the greatest deep-sea discoveries in all of marine science. In February of that
