Wiring the Wilderness

An HPWREN automated digital camera on Lyons Peak captured an image around 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 23, 2006, that shows the extent of the Horse Fire. The camera remotely collected many images that day, which the researchers were able to use to better understand the wildfire.

Cool Image Of The Day

Caption: A composite image by NASA of water levels in the Pacific Ocean for early November, 2009. The water level is an indication of the temperature of the surface water, with higher levels indicating higher temperatures. The expanded El Nino is the big red blob that starts at the west coast of Mexico and stretches toward the equator. Image credit: NASA Earth Observatory According to a recent NASA...

San Diego’s Cottage Industry of Marine Technology Innovation

Long before San Diego was known as a hub of telecommunications innovation or for its proliferation of biotech companies, it was a leading center for the development of deep underwater technologies. During the 1960s and ’70s, scientists from the U.S. Navy laboratories on Point Loma and UCSD’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography founded numerous startups with technologies [...]

Wine Medals: A Hint of Hype, A Taste of Illusion

Yesterday's Wall Street Journal ran an interesting article on the value of wine competitions and ratings. It is based on two articles that were published in the Journal of Wine Economics this year. In A Hint of Hype, A Taste of Illusion the WSJ reports on research by Robert Hodgson, a retired professor of oceanography and winemaker at Fieldbrook Winery . Given the high price of wine and the enormous...

El Nino Winter in Saskatchewan

Everything is pointing to a wonderfully warm winter in Saskatchewan ... finally. After a string of brutal winters, it's nice that we'll get a break this year ... and not only that, if El Nino gives us up to 4 years of echo , the next couple of winters may be mild: El Niño is experiencing a late-fall resurgence . Recent sea-level height data from the NASA/French Space Agency Ocean Surface Topography...

Scripps Gets a Cool $1 Million for Ocean-Going Robotic Swarms

Divers of the future may come across an interesting sea-dweller, if the Scripps Institution of Oceanography have their way. Thousands of autonomous underwater explorers (AUEs), or robotic probes, will be deployed throughout the world's waters in an attempt to gather more information about oceanic phenomena. The National Science Foundation has awarded Scripps nearly $1 million for the AUEs, which will...

US politicians warned geo-engineering is not a magic bullet for climate change

( National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (UK) ) Cut carbon emissions or our only hope to cool the planet will be relying on unproven geo-engineering ideas. This was the warning delivered to US House of Representatives by Professor John Shepherd of the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK.

A glimpse at the Earth's crust deep below the Atlantic

Long-term variations in volcanism help explain the birth, evolution and death of striking geological features called oceanic core complexes on the ocean floor, says geologist Dr Bram Murton of the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton.

A Glimpse At The Earth's Crust Deep Below The Atlantic

Oceanic core complexesLong-term variations in volcanism help explain the birth, evolution and death of striking geological features called oceanic core complexes on the ocean floor, says geologist Dr Bram Murton of the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton.Oceanic core complexes are associated with faults along slow-spreading mid-ocean ridges. They are large elevated massifs with flat or gently...

Schools of Swimming Robots to Study Ocean Currents

If you happen to notice a swarm of robots floating past your beachfront home, don't panic; it's not the first wave of the SkyNet invasion. Aided by funding from the National Science Foundation , the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) is planning to deploy fleets of autonomous robots, possibly numbering in the hundreds, to study localized oceanic environments. High on the list of phenomena to...

Hachimangu , originally uploaded by julesberry2001 . Our meeting last week was mostly about the last millennium, so as well as oceanography we also mused on some old trees, one of which (a ~300 year old ginko) frames most of the right hand side of this photo. I often try to take this photo of the bandstand and several tori down the ~1.5 mile dead straight road between the beach and Hachimangu shrine...

Swarms of Tiny Robotic Ocean Explorers to Help With Marine Preservation...Or Become Fish Food (Video)

Nope, it's not a robotic fish . At least, not like what we've covered before. Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have been awarded nearly $1 million from the National Science Foundation to create a whole new kind of robot, or rather robots. Lots of little robots that will collect lots of location-specific data that will help scientists learn more about marine ecosystems....
