SEA â â Academics â Collaborative Programs The Joint Program in Biological oceanography offers a unique opportunity for Sample Research activities. Seafloor mapping and bottom topography http://www.sea.edu/academics/jointprograms.asp
Extractions: SEA Skip to Section Subnavigation ... Skip to Page Content http://biosciences.stanford.edu/courses/marine_biology.html Stanford@Sea consists of five weeks of marine science, including oceanography, marine physiology, maritime studies (literature, conservation, and policy), and nautical science at Hopkins Marine Station. Onshore course work is followed by five weeks at sea aboard the SSV Robert C. Seamans , a 135-foot sailing research vessel. The shore component is comprised of three multidisciplinary courses meeting daily and continuing aboard ship. Students develop an independent research project plan while ashore, and carry out the research at sea on cruise tracks in the Pacific Ocean. Instrumental in developing this collaboration is Stanford Professor Barbara Bock (W-49), a leading expert on the physiology, ecology and evolution of tuna, billfish and mackerel sharks. As an SEA alumnae, Dr. Block wanted to provide the same opportunity to her students that she had had at SEA. http://web.mit.edu/mit-whoi/www/academics/settingsail.html

Extractions: I accompanied David Jupp (Science Coordinator, CSIRO Earth Observation Centre) to the 3 rd We arrived in Beijing very late on the night of the 12 October to find the city covered in a smog of gritty dust which restricted visibility down to a couple of blocks. The morning of the first day was spent listening to speeches from the dignitaries including the Australian Ambassador Richard Smith and Russell Reichelt who talked of the work at AIMS and CSIRO DMR. Overall I sensed a keen willingness on both sides towards collaborative projects and was staggered by the scale of scientific effort in China. Figures such as 19 million science and technology personnel and over 5800 research institutes are difficult to comprehend! The central government in China (Social Council) maintains a keen interest in science, technology and education. It plays an active role by initiating national policies in this area. One of these is the so-called 863 Program announced in March 1986 (hence 863). Under the Marine Technology component of this program are subcomponents dealing with: ACTIVITIES
Extractions: USA National Science Foundation Director visits A key event in 1999 for the science community engaged in collaboration with the USA was the visit by the Director of the NSF, Dr Rita Colwell, who addressed a full house at the CSIRO Discovery Centre in Canberra on 23 August. She spoke of the NSF budget of $US 4b out of a national budget of $1.7 trillion, and its priority areas of Biocomplexity, IT, and the 21st Century Workforce. The NSF web site makes clear that foreign organisations like CSIRO are not normally eligible for NSF funding (http://www.nsf.gov), although Dr Colwell pointed out out that the NSF funds 30 new joint US-Australia projects per year. She mentioned the possibility of future collaboration in biocomplexity, for instance, and NSF's links with DISR, the Australian Research Council (ARC) and DETYA. In the meantime CSIRO and the ARC have commissioned CHI International to examine the extent to which patents lodged in the USA cite Australian scientific publications. Overview of CSIRO links with the USA The field in which CSIRO has the most collaborative activities with the USA (10% of CSIRO activities with the USA) remains radio-astronomy, reflecting both CSIRO's expertise in this field and Australia's position as a leader amongst its Southern Hemisphere partners. A further 9% of joint activities are in atmospheric research, including climate change modelling. Crop sciences, entomology, marine research, and molecular science and technology are the other major areas of collaboration and exchange. In addition, 38% of projects with the USA are commercial-in-confidence, reflecting a substantial engagement with the private sector.

Extractions: ABSTRACT Since 1994 the Live Access Server (LAS) has been providing visualization and subsetting of multi-dimensional scientific data for Web users. This talk presents a high level overview of the capabilities of LAS version 4, a distributed "data fusion" system designed to support collaborative research. LAS is designed to be easily installed, configured, and maintained. An individual LAS site can provide access both to locally held data sets and to distributed data often data sets juxtaposed for purposes of comparison. Users can co-plot and difference (with regridding as required) the comparative data sets. Binary access to remote data sets is provided transparently by the Distributed Ocean Data System (DODS). An individual LAS can designate a cluster of cooperating sites as "sisters". LAS automatically configures a group of sisters to appear to users as a single (virtual) site. For example, distributed modeling sites can configure themselves as a collaborative project where all model outputs are available for comparison within a single interface.

Extractions: Broadcast meteorologists recently made the national news, as 110 broadcasters were invited to the White House for a series of briefings on global climate change. Our association was well represented by Jay Prater, Kent Ehrhardt and Sue Palka, among others. For first hand feedback, I invite you to call Jay, Kent, Sue or your local broadcast meteorologist. Ask them if they agree with White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry's statement that the weathercasters "appreciated being treated as something other than airheads." Our Broadcast Seal committee has been very busy. For 1997, we have over 30 new recipients of the NWA Seal of Approval. We owe a HUGE thanks to Brad Sussman and the following NWA members for their diligence and professionalism in reviewing application packages, exams and tapes: Paul Croft, Sandy Thomson; Dave Sweeney; Karen Maginnis; Dick Elder; Dan Threlkeld; Alan Sealls; Carey Coleman; Bob Farrell; and Jack Church. Please thank them in person when you get a chance. On the evening of 8 September, Kevin Lavin, Joe Schaefer (President Elect), Steve Zubrick (Secretary), Eli Jacks (Treasurer) and I met with Brigadier General (USAF, Retired) Jack Kelly to discuss his NOAA resource requirement review. Jim Moore, our Vice President, could not make the meeting, but provided an excellent description of his scientific training concerns we shared with Gen Kelly. During our meeting, Gen Kelly described the ground rules of his review provided by the NOAA Administrator and the process he was following to meet his completion deadline. We shared all the concerns you provided us (stress operational meteorology needs for data and improved warnings, and training to fully utilize the modernization technologies) and considered the meeting quite successful.

The toxicity of Cu to micro-organisms is proportional to the free Cu concentration, [Cu ], rather than to the total copper concentration. Kristen Buck has developed and applied a method based upon the added ligand salicylaldoxime (SA) to set up a competing equilibrium with natural Cu-binding ligands (L1) and the use of adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry to detect the Cu(SA) . With this approach she is able to determine the copper speciation and concentrations of [Cu ]. Matt Hurst has also carried out studies on copper speciation using an approach based upon anodic stripping voltammetry and a thin mercury film, rotating glassy-carbon disc electrode with a novel nafion film to protect it from interferences. This research has been funded by both the Office of Naval Research and the State of California
