  • Fabien Cousteau Ends Mission at Undersea Lab (Update) 2 July 2014
    Fabien Cousteau ends mission at undersea lab (Update) 2 July 2014 The crew dove June 1 to Aquarius to study climate change and pollution on a nearby coral reef. Cousteau is scheduled to talk with reporters Wednesday afternoon. Five things to know about Cousteau's undersea mission Fabien Cousteau comes from a famous family of filmmakers, advocates and ocean explorers, and now he's added to their legacy of sea stories a 31-day expedition at an underwater laboratory in the Florida Keys. Here are five things to know about Cousteau's "Mission 31," which ended Wednesday.

(AP Photo/Lynne Sladky) International University, Northeastern University and MIT also joined him for two-week-long stretches during the expedition. After 31 days undersea, Cousteau stepped off a boat wearing flip-flops and a beach towel wrapped around his waist, saying he was torn about leaving his underwater home, but he missed his family and friends. The French oceanographer and his team of filmmakers and scientists started decompression Tuesday afternoon inside Aquarius Reef Base, 63 feet (19 meters) below the ocean's surface. Because they've spent so much time underwater, Cousteau and his "Mission 31" crew needed to undergo roughly 16 hours of decompression inside the school bus-sized lab so that they could return to the surface without suffering the bends.

  • How Does Salinity Shape Ocean Circulation and Ice Geom- Etry on Enceladus and Other Icy Satellites?
    How does salinity shape ocean circulation and ice geom- etry on Enceladus and other icy satellites? Wanying Kang1∗, Tushar Mittal1, Suyash Bire1, Jean-Michel Campin1, and John Marshall1 1Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Science Department, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA Of profound astrobiological interest is that not only does Enceladus have a water ocean, but it also appears to be salty, important for its likely habitability. Here, we investigate how salin- ity affects ocean dynamics and equilibrium ice shell geometry and use knowledge of ice shell geometry and tidal heating rates to help constrain ocean salinity. We show that the vertical overturning circulation of the ocean, driven from above by melting and freezing and the tem- perature dependence of the freezing point of water on pressure, has opposing signs at very low and very high salinities. In both cases, heat and freshwater converges toward the equa- tor, where the ice is thick, acting to homogenize thickness variations. In order to maintain observed ice thickness variations, ocean heat convergence should not overwhelm heat loss rates through the equatorial ice sheet. This can only happen when the ocean’s salinity has in- termediate values, order 20 psu. In this case polar-sinking driven by meridional temperature arXiv:2104.07008v2 [astro-ph.EP] 15 Apr 2021 variations is largely canceled by equatorial-sinking circulation driven by salinity variations and a consistent ocean circulation, ice shell geometry and tidal heating rate can be achieved. Since the Cassini and Galileo mission, Enceladus (a satellite of Saturn) and Europa (a satel- lite of Jupiter) have been revealed to have a high astrobiological potential, satisfying all three 1 necessary conditions for life: 1) the presence of liquid water 1, 2, 2) a source of energy 3, 4, and 3) a suitable mix of chemical elements 1, 5–10.

It is distributed online to media representatives, corporate sponsors, educators, research librarians, explorers, environmentalists, and outdoor enthusiasts. This forum on exploration covers projects that stimulate, motivate and educate. MINNESOTA ADVENTURERS DESCEND AMAZON’S “RIVER OF DOUBT” One hundred years ago, Theodore Roosevelt, America’s “Rough Rider” and “Wild West” adventure president, undertook his biggest physical challenge – the first descent of an unmapped, rapids-choked tributary of the Amazon, the legendary “River of Doubt.” During the two-month trek, Roosevelt’s crew faced great hardship. They lost their boats and supplies to punishing whitewater. They endured starvation, Indian attack, disease, drowning and a murder within their own ranks. The ordeal brought Roosevelt to the brink of suicide and left his health debilitated. But he later said he wouldn’t have traded this epic experience for anything. It added the Rio Roosevelt, as it’s now called, to the map of the Western Hemisphere and prompted several books, including his own and the 2005 national bestseller The River of Doubt, by Candice Millard (Anchor, 2006). This month, two Ely, Minn., guides, Dave Freeman and Paul Schurke, are teaming up with native Brazilians to retrace Roosevelt’s fabled expedition. Unlike Roosevelt, this centennial trip, which departed in late May, is employing lightweight Kevlar and collapsible folding canoes. In contrast, Roosevelt’s crew relied on one ton dugouts they crafted along the way – canoes they found nearly impossible to portage around the miles of whitewater rapids through dense jungle that define the river’s upper end.
