for ocean engineering technology.

«With this
engineering trial successfully behind us, we're eager
for Nereus to become widely used to explore the most inaccessible reaches of the
ocean.
In sum, collaboration between the marine operations group,
engineers, and scientists at MBARI has advanced methods to explore the
ocean and understand the consequences of
ocean change
for marine organisms and ecosystems.
To achieve this goal, a team of marine scientists,
engineers and technicians headed by Prof. Riebesell deployed nine KOSMOS (Kiel Off - Shore mesocosms
for Future
Ocean Simulations) mesocosms off Gran Canary.
Placing detectors at the bottom of
ocean will present a different set of challenge
for the
engineers.
A possible solution
for these water and power problems can be found in The Next Wave: The Quest to Harness the Power of the
Oceans, by Elizabeth Rusch, which follows a team of
engineers who are working together to transform the force of
ocean waves into electric power.
Its hull and body are
engineered for the big waves of the open
ocean, minimizing the uncomfortable rolling feeling many passengers only know (and dread) too well.
He established
Ocean Course Films as an umbrella entity
for the artwork he creates in collaboration with commercial directors, programmers, actors, dancers, sound
engineers, composers, and editors.
To my mind, if the «top kill» procedure being prepared
for midweek fails, Obama must step forward far more forcefully and publicly engage an oil - well SWAT team drawing on the country's leading lights in hydraulics, deep -
ocean engineering and geology, from the Pentagon outward.
Physical chemistry is a combination of chemistry and physics, it is fine that you derived the equation, but it relates to thermodynamics just the same; chemists make those lasers work, those DVD's play, and I have taken calculus physics, modern physics, (multi variable calculus physics) which means technically I too have a degree in physics, but my focus has been chemistry, biology, and I took a few graduate courses dealing with meteorology,
ocean dynamics, geology, atmospheric science and my undergraduate courses were filled with earth science related material and after all the math needed
for Pchem
engineering mathematics is not difficult nor is graduate physics:) so the derivation you just made is discussed in math classes before, even calculus one, so I am not sure what you are trying to prove.
But this is a charged issue
for many environmentalists and some scientists (including Jane Lubchenco, the new under secretary of commerce
for oceans and atmosphere) who oppose such interventions with nature because they could produce unintended harms, falsely imply that we can
engineer our way out of any problem or blunt efforts to cut emissions of greenhouse gases at the source.
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of

Ocean fertilization does not seem to me suitable to be the basis
for a reliable financial commodity, or a practical tool
for geo -
engineering climate.
Lance, adrift in the ice, provided a base
for 100 scientists and
engineers who spent 3 to 6 weeks on board the vessel studying air - snow - ice -
ocean interactions in a region with thinner sea ice.
Without delving too deep into the realm of geo -
engineering, re-seeding the
ocean with iron on a scale much smaller than natural
for scientific purposes is a worthwhile endeavour.
Scientists and
engineers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution with much support from American tax - payers keep up many buoys that float with the ice, measure the
oceans below, and send data back via satellites overhead to be posted
for all to see on the internet.
Kim Stanley Robinson's wildly successful 1993 science fiction trilogy about geo -
engineering and terraforming, Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars, describes «the fertilization of the Antarctic
Ocean with iron dust, which was to act as a dietary supplement to phytoplankton» as a cure
for both global warming and dying coral reefs.
Evidence
for changes in the climate system abounds, from the top of the atmosphere to the depths of the
oceans (Figure 2.1).1 Scientists and
engineers from around the world have compiled this evidence using satellites, weather balloons, thermometers at surface stations, and many other types of observing systems that monitor the Earth's weather and climate.
Better metocean characterization of the wind, wave, and
ocean currents will also help increase certainty of development conditions which is valuable information
for planning project layout, turbine siting and
engineering.
For techo - fix fetishists the idea of using geo -
engineering solutions to mitigate the effects of global warming sounds wonderful: Dump iron fillings into the
ocean, erect giant mirrors in space, dump limestone in the
ocean.
The second group, arguing that «running water purifies itself» (the more current slogan among sanitary
engineers: «the solution to pollution is dilution»), argued
for piping sewage into lakes, rivers, and
oceans.
• Experiments involving climate
engineering,
for instance
ocean «fertilisation» and deploying solar shields
It is interesting to me that the remediation approaches currently being considered
for climate change can be classified into two categories: 1) Geoengineering — approaches ranging from fertilizing the
oceans to detonation of many nukes 2) Econo -
engineering (a term I just coined)-- which looks at policy / fiscal changes ranging from cap and trade, carbon taxes, etc. to forcing everybody to live like the Amish.
Candidate with hands on experience in designing and developing devices
