  • Ocean Thinki Ng
    Ocean Thinki ng The Work of Ocean Sciences, Scientists, and Technologies in Producing the Sea as Space Susannah Crockford Ⅲ ABSTRACT: How do scientists produce the ocean as space through their work and words? In this article, I examine how the techniques and tools of oceanographers con- stitute ocean science. Bringing theoretical literature from science and technology stud- ies on how scientists “do” science into conversation with fi ne-grained ethnographic and sociological accounts of scientists in the fi eld, I explore how ocean science is made, produced, and negotiated. Within this central concern, the technologies used to obtain data draw particular focus. Juxtaposed with this literature is a corpus by ocean scien- tists about their own work as well as interview data from original research. Examining the diff erences between scientists’ self-descriptions and analyses of them by social sci- entists leads to a productive exploration of how ocean science is constituted and how this work delineates the ocean as a form of striated space. Th is corpus of literature is placed in the context of climate change in the fi nal section. Ⅲ KEYWORDS: anthropology of science, climate change, oceans, oceanography, science and technology studies, sociology of science, space and place Th inking about the Ocean “When I think of climate . it’s very much shaped by, I think, my ocean thinking . ” When I asked a paleoceanographer about changes in the climate around southern Iceland, he answered by referencing ocean circulation patterns and the layering of subtropical and subpolar waters.1 What this answer highlighted was the pivotal role of the ocean in the functioning of Earth systems.

  • Charles Stephen Hawtrey
    Charles Stephen Hawtrey Background Charles was born in a poor part of London in 1925, the eldest of eight children. He was the first born, and the last remaining sibling. Charles started work long before the age of ten to support his family, trying many careers along the way including brick laying, baking, elephant handling at London Zoo, and the British Army. In his early 20’s Charles and favourite brother Ron worked at London airport refuelling planes when Charles developed his desire to learn to fly. Finally earning his pilot’s licence through the help of friends, he took off around the world and flew professionally in distant Canada and Africa. He loved South Africa and enjoyed trying many new careers there where he even ran his own pub for a while in Durban. Charles returned to London where he met his wife to be, Olive, who went on a date with him believing he was the famous radio and future movie star. They married in 1956 and earned a living from many different endeavours including raising pigs which Olive enjoyed before they were ready to start a family. In 1958 Charles and Olive moved to Melbourne as “Ten Pound Poms” on a small ship called Fairsky, to find new career opportunities and a better life. Initially he worked as a bus driver and a car salesman before joining Australian Fixed Trusts where he became their top salesman for a number of years running. Working in this field brought him in contact with many retirees and gave him the idea to start his first small development in Melbourne for the over 50’s.

  • Palau Declaration on the Ocean Life and Future
    Palau Declaration on ‘The Ocean: Life and Future’ Charting a course to sustainability Importance of the Ocean to us 1. As Leaders of the Pacific Islands Forum, we have and will continue to play a central role in the stewardship of one of the greatest natural endowments in the world – the Pacific Ocean. It is the lifeblood of our economies and societies and is crucial to global climatic and environmental stability. It is the fabric of unity upon which we have woven individual and collective relationships and agreements on sustainable development, now and into the future. The Ocean is our Life and our Future. The people of the Pacific Ocean are a living testament to that truth. Our way of life, our culture, our direction and our actions should reflect that truth, as it is our very identity: People of the Ocean. 2. The well-being of our Pacific people remains the central point of reference and convergence for our efforts to sustainably develop, manage and conserve our Pacific Ocean and its resources. This is made all the more important as many of our countries are faced with: increased dependency on imported foods; a growing Non-Communicable Disease crisis in Pacific communities; slow to moderate economic growth rates; high transport costs; fossil fuel dependency; growing urbanization; growing population rates and adverse impacts from climate change. The health and productivity of the Pacific Ocean is significant for all of these development challenges, now and into the future. Threats to the Ocean and populations 3. In our lifetime, a dangerous combination of human impacts has come to threaten the foundation of our Pacific livelihoods, which centers largely on the Pacific Ocean, and indeed those of the rest of the world.

    Marine and Ocean Engineering in 21st Century Hisaaki Maeda Nihon University Department of Oceanic Architecture and Engineering 7-24-1 Narashinodai, Funabashi, Chiba 274 E-mail: [email protected] 1. Introduction “Economic Development", “Resource Limitation", and “Global Environment” consist of the so-called tri-lemma the difficulty of which we face and could not be solved in the straightforward way. The only possible way to solve this difficulty may be the sustainable development, which corresponds to the holonic path as the hybrid of hard and soft system. There is no frontier land left on the earth, while the ocean, which covers 70 % of the surface of the earth, is still new frontier left on the earth. In order to carry out the sustainable development, we have to utilize the ocean. From the standpoint of food, resources, energy and space, the ocean is left still in a new frontier. The life style in the 21st century requires to introduce a new concept on all sociological condition for safety, environment, health, product design etc, in which it is the most important to do anything in fully rational way. ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 are the examples of this concept. The rational safety includes safety engineering, risk analysis, estimation of cost of human life, ISO9000 and so on. The rational environment includes ISO14000, global conservation etc. The rational design of system and production is based on the life cycle engineering which considers life cycle cost, safety and environmental assessment through the consistent way from material selection, design, production, operation, maintenance management, recycling to scrapping.
