Due to the receding sea-ice extent in the Arctic, and the potentially large undiscovered petroleum resources present north of the Arctic circle, offshore activities in ice-infested waters are increasing. Due to the presence of drifting sea-ice and icebergs, ice management (IM) becomes an important part of the offshore operation, and an important part of an IM system is the ability to reliably m...

BACKGROUND While there is a growing awareness of the importance of organizational context (or the work environment/setting) to successful knowledge translation, and successful knowledge translation to better patient, provider (staff), and system outcomes, little empirical evidence supports these assumptions. Further, little is known about the factors that enhance knowledge translation and bette...

We investigated the gene flow of the common marine diatom, Skeletonema marinoi, in Scandinavian waters and tested the null hypothesis of panmixia. Sediment samples were collected from the Danish Straits, Kattegat and Skagerrak. Individual strains were established from germinated resting stages. A total of 350 individuals were genotyped by eight microsatellite markers. Conventional F-statistics ...

The concept of consilience, describing the 'jumping together' of different scientific disciplines, and recently revived in a book of the same title, authored by B.D. Wilson, is presented, along with some of its implications for work conducted by oceanographers, marine biologists and fisheries and social scientists in the Gulf of Guinea area. It is suggested that maintenance and analysis of time...

hen the Submarine Technology Department (now the National Security Technology Department) was formed in 1977, it launched an evolution, if not a revolution, in the design of oceanographic sensor systems at APL. This drove rapid advances in ocean sensor systems engineering and technology to support a better understanding of upper ocean dynamics. In this article we provide a brief review of engin...

This proposal describes a program of work designed to contribute to the Navy's capabilities in mastering the mine warfare problem by developing and demonstrating fundamental capabilities needed for an Autonomous Oceanographic Sampling Network (AOSN). This includes the integration of AUV, ship, and moored sensors into a network test range. This range will support the development, testing, and de...

Pairs of platinum mesh or graphite fiber-based electrodes, one embedded in marine sediment (anode), the other in proximal seawater (cathode), have been used to harvest low-level power from natural, microbe established, voltage gradients at marine sediment-seawater interfaces in laboratory aquaria. The sustained power harvested thus far has been on the order of 0.01 W/m2 of electrode geometric a...

Environmental monitoring in the scope of the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC (WFD) is usually expensive and requires considerable human effort. In this study, we analyzed data obtained by a WFD coastal waters monitoring network over a three-year period (35 campaigns), with the aim to ascertain is it possible to increase the monitoring efficiency and obtain more accurate results. As the tro...
