Live, from Seafloor to Scientists Ashore
NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer, “America’s
Ship for Ocean Exploration,” is on a course to be the only U.S.
ship assigned to systematically explore our largely unknown ocean for
the purpose of discovery and the advancement of knowledge. |

Scientists Join Forces
for Regional Fisheries Research:
It’s an act of nature that goes largely
unnoticed. Every year, larval fish — barely visible to the naked
eye — leave their birthplace in the offshore Atlantic and make
their way into the waters of the Delaware and Chesapeake bays. |

Great Lakes Exploration: Lake Huron’s Sinkholes:
During a 2001 Lake
Huron Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary survey, Dr. Dwight Coleman
(Institute for Exploration) first discovered a series of offshore freshwater
underwater sinkholes at a depth of approximately 100 meters, formed by
a unique series of environmental processes. |

The
Future of Weather Radar:
Radar is one of the most valuable tools in a forecaster’s
arsenal and NSSL continues to use ingenuity and creativity to push
radar technology to the edge. |

Sonar
Reveals How Herring Respond to Predators:
Throughout much of coastal Alaska Pacific herring are important
prey to whales, seals, sea lions, birds and other predators, but
little is known about how these predators influence herring populations. |

UNH
Researcher Is Mapping the Flow of Communication:
Troy Hartley could be considered a cartographer of human communication. |
|
Seeking
a Better Understanding of Atmospheric Mercury:
It may be the name of a car, a planet, and a Roman god, but (as
best we know) none of those are toxic to humans or the environment. |

A
River In The Sea - Sea Grant-Funded Researcher Takes New Look At
Impact of Wintertime Coastal Currents :
All in all, physical oceanographer Glen Gawarkiewicz admitted,
he could have decided on a research topic more conducive to warm
days in the bright blue waters of the Caribbean, drifting along with
the lazy currents in and amongst the coral reefs. |
|
The
Future of Climate Modeling at GFDL - The Earth System Model:
NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) has
been constructing the next generation Earth System Model (ESM) to
advance our understanding of how the Earth’s biogeochemical
cycles, including human actions, interact with the climate system. |

NOAA Supports Young
Explorers in Seafloor to Mountaintop to Outer Space Challenge:
NOAA’s Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory (HURL) is inspiring
a new generation of explorers to discover the deep ocean. |

First
Live-Attenuated Vaccine for S. Iniae in Development:
In preliminary trials, NOAA Sea Grant researchers have for the
first time demonstrated the feasibility of using a live-attenuated
vaccine to prevent the deadly Streptococcus iniae infection in fish. |
|
Study
Completed on Research and Networks for Decision Support in the
NOAA Climate Sectoral Applications Research Program:
In response to NOAA’s and the U.S. Climate Change Science
Program’s strong and continued interest in providing timely
climate information for effective decision-making, the NOAA Climate
Program Office established the Sectoral Applications Research Program
(SARP) in 2005. |
