Conclusions Acknowledgements Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch SummaryUNESCO – EOLSS All living organisms, and particularly prokaryotes, which colonize the most extreme environments, SAMPLEhave their physiology cont rolledCHAPTERS by a variety of physicochemical parameters whose different values contribute to the definition of biotopes. Hydrostatic pressure is one of the major parameters influencing life, but its importance is limited to only some environments, especially the deep sea. If the deep sea is defined as water layers below one kilometer depth, this amount of water, which is exposed to pressures up to 100 MPa, represents 62% of the volume of the total Earth biosphere. A rather small numbers of investigators have studied the prokaryotes that, alongside invertebrates and vertebrates, inhabit this extreme environment. Deep-sea prokaryotes show different levels of adaptation to elevated hydrostatic pressure, from the barosensitive organisms to the obligate piezophiles.

Four of our five oceans extend to depths exceeding 6,000 m, putting them beyond the reach of most commercially available technologies and certainly beyond all human-occupied vehicles currently in operation. Scientific interest in these ultradeep ecosystems has greatly increased over the last decade, but technological Deeps Expedition) Five (Credit: limitations have favored the use of simple static lander vehicles over remotely operated or human-occupied ex- ploratory vehicles. The Five Deeps Expedition (FDE) is changing all that. In 2015, Victor Vescovo, an American private-equity in- vestor and explorer and founder of Caladan Oceanic, approached Triton Submarines in Florida with a vision to design, engineer, build, test and support a full-ocean- depth-capable and independently accredited two-person manned submersible, which he intended to dive to the deepest point in each of the five oceans over the course of a year-long expedition. In a little over three years, this vision became reality. In December 2018, Vescovo performed his first solo dive in a two-person, full-ocean-depth submersible to 8,376 m in the Puerto Rico Trench, and the expedition is now more than halfway through its journey. The FDE is supported by an international team of scientists, engineers, filmmakers and operational crew (both ship and submersible).

  • American Samoa)* Dawn J
    Seafloor Mapping and GIS Coordination at America’s Remotest National Marine Sanctuary (American Samoa)* Dawn J. Wright Department of Geosciences Oregon State University Corvallis, Oregon, USA Brian T. Donahue and David F. Naar Center for Coastal Ocean Mapping University of South Florida St. Petersburg, Florida, USA Abstract Currently there are thirteen sites in the U.S. National Marine Sanctuary System that protect over 18,000 square miles of American coastal waters. Coral reefs are a particular concern at several of these sites, as reefs are now recognized as being among the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth, as well as the most endangered. The smallest, remotest, and least explored site is the Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary (FBNMS) in American Samoa, the only true tropical coral reef in the sanctuary system. Until recently it was largely unexplored below depths of ~30 m, with no comprehensive documentation of the plants, animals, and submarine topography. Indeed, virtually nothing is known of shelf-edge (50-120 m deep) coral reef habitats throughout the world, and no inventory of benthic-associated species exists. This chapter presents the results of: (1) recent multibeam bathymetric surveys in April-May, 2001, to obtain complete topographic coverage of the deepest parts of FBNMS, as well as other sites around the island of Tutuila; and (2) efforts to integrate these and other baseline data into a GIS to facilitate future management decisions and research directions within the sanctuary. Introduction In 1972, amidst rising coastal development, pollution, and marine species nearing extinction, the National Marine Sanctuary System was created to protect ecological, historical, and aesthetic resources within vital areas of U.S.

  • Sea Level Change
    Sea Level Change Outline Causes of sea level change Temporal (time) scales of sea level changes Climate-related sealevel change and oxygen isotope stages Eustatic and relative sea levels Evidence of sealevel change Sedimentary records of sealevel changes Causes of sea level change Why does the sea level change? Changes in the relative volumes of seawater and polar ice caps and ice sheets a) Formation and melting of ice caps e.g., if Antarctic ice cap and Greenland ice sheets melted completely the sealevel would rise 60-80 m. b) Thermal expansion of seawater 10ºC increase in seawater temperature would cause 10 m increase in sea level These processes are a function of climate: external earth process Changes in the volume of ocean basins containing seawater The ocean basins changing in size and shape: Increase in length of the ocean ridges and rate of seafloor spreading would decrease the volume of ocean basins, causing a sealevel rise. The main process is Plate Tectonics (internal forces) Temporal scale of sea level change Sealevel fluctuations occur on time scales of: Millions of years Thousands of years Diurnal variations: Tides and weather Tides: Diurnal variations is the result of gravitational attraction between Earth, Moon, Sun and rotation of Earth. The times and amplitude of tides at a locale are influenced by: • Alignment of Sun and Moon, • Pattern of tides in the deep ocean • The amphidromic (zero amplitude) systems of the oceans creating waves, tidal currents • The shape of the coastline and near-shore bathymetry Tides Neap tides occur during quarter Moon Spring tides occur during full and new Moon Tidal amplitude Mid-spring range: 14.5 m Extreme range: 16.3 m Amphidromic system and points These occur because of the Coriolis effect and interference within oceanic basins, seas and bays creating a wave pattern Tide amplitude indicated by color.

Fort Lauderdale soon became in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. That same year, the Fédération a hotbed for swimmers.

In 2018, Cso strong, that in 1962 Mayor Burry of Fort Lauderdale, the Sports Publications Inc., publisher of Swimming World entire city commission, 30 civic leaders, and even Florida’s Magazine and its multi-media platforms, merged with Governor Farris all threw their support behind the idea.

Today, Mayor went so far as to create a “Mayor’s Swimming Hall of ISHOF is the global focal point for recording and sharing the Fame Citizen’s Committee”.

  • Under High Pressure: Spherical Glass Flotation and Instrument Housings in Deep Ocean Research
    PAPER Under High Pressure: Spherical Glass Flotation and Instrument Housings in Deep Ocean Research AUTHORS ABSTRACT Steffen Pausch All stationary and autonomous instrumentation for observational activities in Nautilus Marine Service GmbH ocean research have two things in common, they need pressure-resistant housings Detlef Below and buoyancy to bring instruments safely back to the surface. The use of glass DURAN Group GmbH spheres is attractive in many ways. Glass qualities such as the immense strength– weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and low cost make glass spheres ideal for both Kevin Hardy flotation and instrument housings. On the other hand, glass is brittle and hence DeepSea Power & Light subject to damage from impact. The production of glass spheres therefore requires high-quality raw material, advanced manufacturing technology and expertise in Introduction processing.
