Marine Biology If you are interested in adventuring the depths of the ocean, being a marine biologist is the job for you. As a marine biologist you will need to have several years of schooling in order to have a successful career. Being a marine biologist can be an enjoyable and dangerous job, but the journey is worth the ride. Several people ask what is a marine biologist? There are various answers to this question. The best answer shall be that a marine biologist is someone who works in some

Chapter 9 Review Questions Explain why the Sun's influence on Earth's tides is only 46% that of the Moon's, even though the Sun is so much more massive than the Moon. although the sun is much larger than the moon and has much more gravitational power, the distance between the earth and the moon is extremely further than the distance between the earth and moon. so much that it greatly dampens the effect of the suns gravity. Why is a lunar day 24 hours and 50 minutes long, while a solar

piece the puzzle of the mysterious beast and its vast environment. Scientific advances such as the computer models of the earth have brought us to a better understanding about how life on earth operates. According to Ocean services, the study of oceanography is the study of marine life and ecosystems, Ocean circulation, plate tectonics and the geology of the ocean floor. Oceanographers study this aspect of the world to understand how the chemistry of the ocean interacts with our atmosphere and ecosystems

Preliminary Proposal: LTER: Coastal Alaska- CoA LTER Overview The CoA LTER aims to better understand how high-latitude marine ecosystems will be affected by future ocean change, particularly changes associated with glacial discharge and ocean acidification. Kachemak Bay, Alaska, is the ideal high-latitude model system to conduct this research because of its 1) wealth of existing data, 2) existing infrastructure (the Kasitsna Bay Laboratory), 3) high productivity and biological diversity, 4) susceptibility

We all know that why oceans are important for us and why we need to take actions towards the preservation and keeping our oceans clean from plastic. In article “Our oceans are turning into plastic… are we?” Susan Casey has tried to inform the general audience about the problems caused by plastic in oceans. Susan Casey has strong credentials for writings this article because she already has wrote many works about the oceans and marine life such as The Devil's Teeth: A True Story of Obsession and Survival

Jacques-Yves Cousteau was a proponent of the preservationist approach to ocean environmentalism in the 1900s. Inspired by a diverse array of ideas and people, his work laid the path for future exploration of the oceans and awareness for their health. However, this success was endangered throughout his early life with threats to his feeble health. Despite these premature risks, Cousteau’s early life, inspiration from others, the studies of additional scientists in his time, and existing oceanographic

A huge problem with deep sea mining is that the sea/ ocean waters is something that humans have not even begun to scratch the surface of grasping a full understanding of it. The sea is the largest biological habitat on this earth and is not understood. There are so many undiscovered incredible organisms are all potential he homes by deep-sea mine. Extreme temperatures, pitch black darkness and a giant amount of bio diverse city, most of which are very sensitive to any disturbance just a little light

Jyotika Virmani, an oceanographer and XPrize 's senior director of prize operations, stated in late 2015 “ninety-five percent of the ocean is unexplored. In fact, we have better maps of Mars. Every time we go, we always find something new” (Bathke). Exploring the deep sea has captured the imagination of humankind ever since Leonardo da Vinci made drawings of a submarine more than 500 years ago in 1515. Since the early 20th century, people have been venturing into the ocean in submersible vehicles

1. Introduction As it stands today the U.S. coast of the Gulf of Mexico is losing more and more land; the amount of land lost each year may seem relatively small to the average person, but to scientists who understand the unprecedented rate at which this is happening, there is reason to be alarmed. On the U.S. coast of the Gulf of Mexico there are more reasons for the rising sea level than simply global warming and melting ice sheets or ice caps. In the Mississippi delta, for example, the oil

"On a recent afternoon, Scott McKenzie watched torrential rains and a murky tide swallow the street outside his dog-grooming salon. Within minutes, much of this stretch of chic South Beach was flooded ankle-deep in a fetid mix of rain and sea. “Welcome to the new Venice,” McKenzie joked as salt water surged from the sewers." ----- Michael J. Mishak, Associated Press June 7, 2014 at 4:24 PM EDT In a world divided by war, it is easy to overlook problems that affect all of mankind. The
