Extractions: OceanTeacher Home Digital Library Home Table of Contents Global Oceanography Today ... Example Files Physical Oceanography Formal Definition The study of physical conditions and physical processes within the ocean, especially the motions and physical properties of the ocean. This is usually further divided into the activities of descriptive and theoretical oceanography, the former being concerned with observing the oceans to prepare maps of the spatial and temporal variations of its properties, and the latter with constructing theoretical models to attempt to explain the observations. As in most natural sciences, most significant advances are the result of the interaction between theory and observation. Physical oceanography is not a pure but an applied science in which the knowledge of many disciplines is relevant, e.g. fluid mechanics, optics ( optical oceanography ), acoustics ( acoustical oceanography ), thermodynamics and, especially in the age of satellites, electromagnetics ( satellite oceanography ).

Extractions: Bachelor of Science Ocean and Earth Science R.E. Johnson, Advisor Students in the ocean and earth science program focus on the global systems that control environmental conditions. They also learn to develop solutions to complex environmental problems by working in multidisciplinary teams. All majors in the department complete courses in the basic sciences and mathematics, core courses in earth systems science, and a capstone field research experience. In addition, students complete a suite of specialty courses according to one of the following emphases. Oceanography Emphasis The oceanography emphasis is designed for students considering graduate work or employment in the pure and applied fields of oceanography. Students select specialty courses in one of these subdisciplines: biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, or physical oceanography. If students select the biological subdiscipline, they are strongly encouraged to minor in Biology and select BIOL 316, 417 and 442. If students select the chemical subdiscipline, they are strongly encouraged to minor in Chemistry and select CHEM 307-309, 312-314, 321, and 322. If students select the physical subdiscipline, they are strongly encouraged to minor in Applied Mathematics and select MATH 312, 316U, 317, and 401. Geology Emphasis The geology emphasis is designed for students with a wide range of professional goals in the sciences, engineering, business, and the arts. Students considering graduate work or employment in pure and applied fields of geology, including environmental geology, geological oceanography, hydrogeology, geophysics, and geochemistry, should build their backgrounds to support certification as a professional geologist (see later information). Students with a strong interest in geological applications of geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing tools should consider the geology emphasis with a minor in geography; the certificate program in remote sensing for coastal environmental analysis (see later description) also emphasizes this area of study.

Extractions: Many of you may be aware of previous "Future of ASLO" reports. Both such prior reports were transformational, but are now completely out of date (most of the recommendations having been implemented and the others, overtaken by events). Because the external factors that may require change seem to have both accelerated and become more complex, the Board has assumed responsibility for long-range planning as an ongoing process that takes a significant fraction of Board meeting time and effort. Your Board would very much like to obtain your opinions to shape these plans. Each topic carries an introductory paragraph that you may skip if you are already familiar with the issues. Answering the yes-no questions alone will give the Board a much more objective sense of member opinions. We further encourage you to scan the topics quickly and to explain your priorities on the issues that you deem to be most important to the future of ASLO and that add the most value to your own membership. Your responses will be separated from your identity before analysis. If you feel strongly about your position on a particular issue and are not concerned about anonymity, we encourage you to open a dialogue directly with a Board member. Contact information is easily found at the ASLO web site. A. My overall impression of ASLO leadership

Extractions: Undergraduate Program (additional information below) Career opportunities are available to professional geologists in industry (especially related to resource exploration and environmental concerns), education, urban planning, state and federal geological surveys, and government resource and research organizations. The master's degree is regarded by most hiring agencies as the working degree in geology. However, an undergraduate degree is fully satisfactory in certain teaching, federal, and industrial situations. Many of the University of Iowa's geoscience graduates find employment with resource companies, environmental corporations, and educational institutions. Others continue in graduate school or take jobs with government or conservation agencies. Some intend to enter law, business, or fields such as urban planning, environmental studies, engineering, archaeology, science education, or oceanography as advanced areas. Geoscience is good preparation for all of these. Each year more than 700 students enroll in 012:003 Earth History and Resources and 012:008 Introduction to Environmental Science, laboratory-lecture courses approved by the College of Liberal Arts for General Education in natural sciences.

http://www.aims.gov.au/ibm/reports/gbra/gbra96.html

Extractions: Tel: 07-47534243 Fax: 07-47725852 ABSTRACT The water currents are important because they determine where water-borne particles will travel to. Particles of interest include natural ones: such as coral eggs and fish larvae; as well as pollutants such as dredge spoils, mud, pesticides and nutrients from farm runoff and sewage treatment plants. Cases of great practical importance are described, namely the impact of land use, reef recruitment of corals and fish larvae, and global change. We have modelled the dominant hydrodynamics of the central Great Barrier Reef continental shelf, calibrating our models against our extensive tidal and current data. The currents (both speed and direction) show variability at all scales and are complex. These currents are also three-dimensional. This complexity in the currents causes patchiness in the transport of the water-borne particles. The Burdekin River in flood generates a lens of brackish water floating over high salinity, oceanic water, and typically travels northward along the coast. Risk assessment analysis using the model results is needed to evaluate the impact of land use on the Great Barrier Reef. Further, the fate of pollutants, such as pesticides and heavy metals in river discharges is linked to chemical processes between these contaminants and the cohesive sediments. Enhanced flocculation around marine snow flocs and mangrove vegetation detritus lessens the direct impact on coral reefs.
