Oceanography Article Response The article that I read is entitled “Why the Earth’s past has scientists so worried about the Atlantic Ocean’s Circulation”. This article analyzes how global climate change may be contributing to the disruption of the North Atlantic Ocean circulation pattern. Additionally, this article is about how the circulation of the ocean closely correlates with major climate change, like glacial ice ages, which can possibly help us predict such events. In recent months, scientists

If you have ever lived in proximity to coastal areas you may have seen coastline erosion first hand. The beaches you frequent during the summer may seem to be getting smaller and smaller every year. Why does your favorite beach seem to be disappearing? Coastal erosion is to blame. The waves, wind, tides and currents all play a part in the mechanism that is coastal erosion. When water and wind batter the shoreline sediments are carried out to sea and deposited on the sea floor or at other points

WHOI is known for innovation in oceanography

There are several personal factors of my academic journey that motivated my decision to pursue a graduate degree in marine biology and biological oceanography. My parents are from Ecuador and Puerto Rico, and they came to the United States looking for better opportunities. My mother has always supported and encouraged me to focus on my studies and work hard. Being valedictorian of my high school and the first one in my family to go to college is proof of my dedication. My strong-willed determination

Case Western Oceanography Institute It was already 72 degrees when Astrid Young pulled into the parking lot at the Western Oceanography Institute (WOI). The radio announcer was reminding listeners to leave out extra water for their pets because the temperature was going to be in the high 90s for the third straight day. Young made a mental note to call her husband, Jon, when she got to her office and make sure that he left plenty of water outside for their cat, Figaro. Young was three-quarters of

As a University of Arizona student who has taken several classes regarding oceanography and climate change, I have become very aware of human impact on the environment as well as increasingly concerned in regard to the future consequences of the effect of climate change on marine environments. I am writing this letter to urge you to put more restrictions in place to help lessen Arizona’s contribution to climate change. Since 1880, Earth’s global temperature has increased 1.4℉. A nearly one and a

Biological oceanography is important because it brings awareness to how organisms live in the ocean. It shows how organisms can adapt to environmental variables. Biological oceanographers uncover the process and circulation of the food chain, withal the involvement of natural selection underwater. People will have a better understanding of evolution and its role in creating species throughout the centuries. It is important because our population is able to reflect and apprehend the responses of ocean

Oceanography also called oceanology or marine science, is the branch of Earth science that studies the ocean. It covers a wide range of topics, including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. These diverse topics reflect multiple disciplines that oceanographers blend to further knowledge

My interest in sharks was the foundation of my fascination with the ocean and marine life. As I was researching chemistry careers, I came across one occupation that involved chemistry and studying oceans, chemical oceanography. There was a picture on a website for chemical oceanography of a few people conducting research on a boat in the Atlantic Ocean. This immediately brought back a childhood memory of being on a small boat off the coast of Chatham, Massachusetts one late August and seeing what
