Resources PALAEOCLIMATOLOGY Introduction Atmosphere Causes Climate Forcing ... Home Climate System The key to understanding global climate change is to first understand what global climate is, and how it operates. At the planetary scale, the global climate is regulated by how much energy the Earth receives from the Sun . However, the global climate is also affected by other flows of energy which take place within the climate system itself. This global climate system is made up of the atmosphere , the oceans , the ice sheets (cryosphere), living organisms (biosphere) and the soils, sediments and rocks (geosphere), which all affect, to a greater or less extent, the movement of heat around the Earth's surface. The atmosphere plays a crucial role in the regulation of Earth's climate. The atmosphere is a mixture of different gases and aerosols (suspended liquid and solid particles) collectively known as air. Air consists mostly of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%). However, despite their relative scarcity, the so-called greenhouse gases , including carbon dioxide and methane, have a dramatic effect on the amount of energy that is stored within the atmosphere, and consequently the Earth's climate. These greenhouse gases trap heat within the lower atmosphere that is trying to escape to space, and in doing so, make the surface of the Earth hotter. This heat trapping is called the

Getting to the Bottom of it: Tools, Techniques, and Discoveries of Deep Ocean Geography Dawn Wright Department of Geosciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331 USA Abstract The initial impetus for developing a specialty in ocean geography resulted from the need to resolve applied problems in coastal resources, as opposed to development of oceanographic research methods and concepts. However, the development in the last 10-20 years of sophisticated technologies for ocean data collection and management holds tremendous potential for mapping and interpreting the ocean environment in unprecedented detail. With the understanding that ocean research is often very costly, yet deemed extremely important by large funding agencies, geographers now have the opportunity to perform coastal and marine studies that are more quantitative in nature, to formulate and test basic hypotheses about the marine environment, and to collaborate with geographers working in corollary subdisciplines (e.g., remote sensing, GIS, geomorphology, political geography as pertaining to the Law of the Sea, etc.), as well as with classically-trained oceanographers. This piece reviews, for the non-specialist, the newest advances in mapping and management technologies for undersea geographic research (particularly on the ocean floor) and discusses the contributions that geographers stand to make to a greater understanding of the oceans.

SFKC Home Program Summary Have you ever gone to the beach for a holiday only to discover it’s closed due to contamination? Has the scarcity of oysters prevented you from indulging your gourmet taste buds? The ocean is sick; what’s the remedy? We once thought the ocean could absorb any shock without consequence: Garbage, chemicals, and human waste would simply slide into the water and somehow be rendered harmless by the ocean’s magical ability to renew itself. Well, there’s no magic, and there are major consequences. Marine life and their habitats are being ravaged by disease, some of which we have never seen before. Fungus eats up coral reefs, parasites blight oysters, bacteria kill fish, all of which lead to devastation of marine populations and destruction of fishing and shellfish industries. What’s more, some of the diseases are just as dangerous to humans who enter contaminated water or consume affected food. Scientists believe that many of the organisms causing the outbreaks are normally found in the ocean, but that factors such as rising water temperatures and our use of the ocean as a garbage bin have knocked the balance of nature out of whack. The hosts (coral, fish, and crustaceans) have been weakened, allowing the pathogens to flourish and overwhelm them. Other diseases, such as cholera, are introduced into the seas through untreated sewage. It was once thought that the frigid temperatures of the deep ocean would kill off any microbes; now scientists are finding that the cold water acts like a big refrigerator where bugs can cool their heels until a current carries them into warmer areas.

SFKC Home Program Summary An old saying goes, “Out of sight, out of mind.” It is this mindset that has led to today’s serious threats to the health of the oceans, say Ira’s guests. After all, when we look at the ocean, we see an endless expanse of sparkling blue water, not the tons of trash that are dumped in it every year or the dead zones in which the oxygen has been depleted by chemical runoff. It’s only when bacteria close our favorite beach or a tanker spills its load of oil that we stop to think about what is happening to our greatest natural resource. Now the science world’s attention has been caught by a study that found millions of microscopic particles of plastic mixed in with beach sand and sea bed sediment in parts of the United Kingdom. Where did these particles come from? From the plastic containers in our ocean-going garbage, that’s where. The action of the wind and waves wears the plastic down into pieces that are invisible to the eye, but still present and being consumed by microscopic creatures. What does “biodegradable” really mean? What effect could the particles have on marine life? Will those plastic particles work their way up the food chain into our stomachs? Now that’s something to chew on.

Ocean All fresh water o Groundwater o Deep groundwater o Soil moisture o Surface Ice and glaciers Freshwater lakes Rivers and streams Saline lakes Atmosphere Back to Top Forms of Water on Earth Back to Top Water in the Atmosphere Gaseous water in the atmosphere is known as humidity. The amount of water that the atmosphere can hold is a function of the temperature. Hot air can hold a lot more water than cold air. I like to think of this as the air being a giant sponge. When the air is cold, the sponge is smaller, so it cannot hold as much water as when it is hot, and the sponge is larger. So for example, San Francisco and Chicago in the summer may both have 90% humidity... but Chicago will feel a lot more icky (a good technical term to describe high humidity!). This is because San Francisco is 60 degrees F, while Chicago is 95 degrees F so there is a lot more water in the air in Chicago. The temperature at which air is saturated with water is the dew-point. The dew-point in warm air is much higher than the dew-point in cold air.

Life on Earth originated in the seas, and the oceans continue to be home to an incredibly diverse web of life The oceans of Earth serve many functions, especially affecting the weather and temperature. They moderate the Earth's temperature by absorbing incoming solar radiation (stored as heat energy). The always-moving ocean currents distribute this heat energy around the globe. This heats the land and air during winter and cools it during summer. THE OCEANS The Earth's oceans are all connected to one another.

Deep Ocean Fathom Sessions Session 1 Session 2 Introducing the Ocean At one time the depths of the ocean were thought to be totally lifeless. But now scientists know that the whole of the ocean environment, down to the very greatest depths at more than 11 kilometres, is populated by living organisms. The oceans provide about 170 times as much living space as all of the Earth's other environmentssoil, air and fresh waterput together. The floor of the deep sea may harbour many times more species than these other environments. In this session we will examine the general characteristics of the oceansgeography, sea water, temperature and currents. NASA The Earth from space. The dominance of the oceans, and why the Earth is called the 'Blue Planet,' becomes obvious from this viewpoint. The oceans cover two-thirds of the Earth's surface to an average depth of almost 4 km and to an extreme depth of more than 11 km. Life on Earth almost certainly evolved in the ocean and the whole ocean environment, down to the very greatest depths, is populated by living organisms. The shape of the ocean basins The Problem of Pressure The weight of air in the earth's atmosphere squeezes everything in it equally in all directions. This atmospheric pressure is at its maximum at sea level where it is almost one kilogram per square centimetre (by convention called 1 atmosphere). The weight of water in the sea also creates pressure, and because water is so heavy, the pressure changes rapidly by about one atmosphere for every 10m of depth. So the pressure at 100m depth is about 10 kilos per square centimetre, at 1,000m it is about 100 kilos and so on. It seems inconceivable that any deep-sea animal could withstand these crushing pressures, almost half a tonne on every square centimetre at the ocean's average depth of 4,000m. But the bodies of most marine animals are made up mainly of water and, because liquids are almost incompressible, the animals suffer very little from the effects of quite large pressure changes.
