Newsletter No.3 July-1998@ Introduction of the Global Change Research Institutes in the World In this Newsletter, we introduce, in a successive manner, the global change research institutes in the world. For the second time, Dr. Alexander S. Kazmin, who has been participating in the Climate Variations Research Program since last May, introduces P.P Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of Russian Academy of Science (IORAN). 1. Name and address of the Institute: P.P.Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of Russian Academy of Sciences (IORAN) 36 Nahimovsky prosp.,Moscow 117851 Russia homepage: http://www.sio.rssi.ru/ 2. Outline of the Institute: IORAN have been established in 1946. It is one of the largest oceanographic institute in Russia and belongs to Russian Academy of Sciences, department of oceanology, physics of the atmosphere and geography. Institute are conducted multi-profiles oceanographic investigations of the World Ocean,including shelfs and coastal zones. Institute have the main office in Moscow and branches at the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea, and the White Sea. There are about 1100 staff in main office at Moscow, including more than 600 scientists and 400 technicians (the whole staff including branches, research vessels' crews etc. is more than 2000). The Institute's main divisions are physics, geology, biology, technical (oceanographic equipment) and research support. Most of research activity is associated with the sea-going investigations, thus Institute has 12 research vessels and 6 manned submersibles. Director - Prof. Lappo Sergei Sergeevich - is in charge of overall management and research activity.

Burial at sea The Komsomolets Disaster Some five years ago the Russian nuclear attack submarine Komsomolets sank in the Norwegian Sea. The event caused consternation in the Soviet Navy, high interest in NATO maritime and intelligence circles, and apprehension among environmentalists. This concern arose particularly in Norway, for the submarine's broken hull holds two nuclear reactors and at least two torpedoes with nuclear warheads containing plutonium, one of the most toxic substances known to man. Since the sinking, Russian authorities have elicited to an unprecedented degree scientific assistance from other countries and used remote sensors and minisubmersibles to find Komsomolets, measure radiation leakage, and assess the stability of the wreck. Ironically, the architect of this instrument of war who designed it to hunt US and Norwegian ships is asking for and receiving assistance in surveying the submarine and assessing its stability from Komsomolets' intended victims. KomsomoletsOne of a Kind Komsomolets means "member of the Young Communist League." She was launched in May 1983 in Severodvinsk, a closed Soviet city on the Barents Sea with the world's largest shipyard. She was 400 feet long, 37 feet high and 27 feet in beam with a submerged displacement of 8,000 tonsa very large sub indeed.

Major Ocean Exploration Effort Would Reveal Secrets Of The Deep PRESS RELEASE / Most current US funding for ocean research, however, goes to projects that plan in the report would complement more traditional oceanographic research, http://www.mindfully.org/Water/2003/Ocean-Exploration-NAS4nov03.htm

Major Ocean Exploration Effort Would Reveal Secrets of the Deep PRESS RELEASE / NAS 4nov03 Executive Summary and Introduction WASHINGTON—A new large-scale, multidisciplinary ocean exploration program would increase the pace of discovery of new species, ecosystems, energy sources, seafloor features, pharmaceutical products, and artifacts, as well as improve understanding of the role oceans play in climate change, says a new congressionally mandated report from the National Academies' National Research Council. Such a program should be run by a nonfederal organization and should encourage international participation, added the committee that wrote the report. Congress, interested in the possibility of an international ocean exploration program, asked the Research Council to examine the feasibility of such an effort. The committee concluded, however, that given the limited resources in many other countries, it would be prudent to begin with a U.S. program that would include foreign representatives and serve as a model for other countries. Once programs are established elsewhere, groups of nations could then collaborate on research and pool their resources under international agreements. "The United States should lead by example," said committee chair John Orcutt, professor of geophysics and deputy director, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego. Vast portions of the ocean remain unexplored. In fact, while a dozen men have walked on the moon, just two have traveled to the farthest reaches of the ocean, and only for about 30 minutes each time, the report notes. "The bottom of the ocean is the Earth's least explored frontier, and currently available submersibles—whether manned, remotely operated, or autonomous—cannot reach the deepest parts of the sea," said committee vice chair Shirley A. Pomponi, vice president and director of research at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, Fort Pierce, Fla.

Moving a little bit further north, I received my Doctorate in Aquatic Ecology from the University of Florida. ecosystem-based approach (marine protected areas), invasive species, and assists with international marine ecosystem science efforts. My task on this cruise will be to assist in assessing the relationship between fish density and distribution and habitat preference. By understanding the importance of different habitat types to various life stages of fish, one may be able to make more informed decisions on which areas should potentially receive special protection and why.

Section Three: Looking Ahead New Technologies Prepared by Lynne Carter Hanson Background/Summary There are many technologies coming into use by the scientific diving community that are beyond those traditionally used by scientific divers. Many of these new technologies are not new at all, but have a long history of industrial and other diver group usage (e.g., NOAA use of NITROX). When adopting additional technologies into the repertoire of scientific diving, a variety of mechanisms have been used which range from personal discussions to the convening of a workshop (e.g., American Academy of Underwater Sciences' Workshop on Diving Computers) and development of standards for and by the community. The four perspectives concerned with additional technologies and mechanisms to deal with them are: The ship operator with overall responsibility for over-the-side operations; The scientist with his or her need and desire to accomplish good science; The scientist's home institution with its concerns for safety, liability, and reputation; and The funding agency which is responsive to community demands and at the same time responsible for (among others): safety, finances, and precedent setting issues.

Exploration of the Deep Five centuries ago, sailors from Europe began exploring and crossing the oceans but the world below the waves was mostly unknown. Until the invention of underwater breathing equipment in the 1800's, only the pearl driver saw what lay more than a few feet below the surface. Through modern science, technology, advances in navigation , and many dedicated scientists, we are meeting the challenges of exploring this deep world.

New Explorations Deep Sea Explorers Alexander Agassiz (1833-1910) Swiss-American Marine Science and Engineer He used his engineering skills to develop new techniques for taking samples and soundings. He believed (incorrectly) that no marine life lived below the shallow depths of the sea. Between 1877 and 1880, he studied plankton levels in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Robert Ballard (b.1942) American Oceanographer Robert Ballard is probably best known as the ocean explorer who found the Titanic and the Bismark . He has made over 100 deep-sea expeditions. In 1977, he along with John Corliss discovered
