The First U.S. Human-Operated Submersible Changed the Course of Oceanography

Cars That Think

Water pressure in the deep sea makes human exploration of the ocean difficult. During its first major deployment in 1966, the vessel was sent to search for a hydrogen bomb that accidently was dropped in the Mediterranean Sea after a U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Alvin, the first U.S.

Statement from 70 National Science Academies Calls for Inclusion of Ocean Acidification in Copenhagen Agenda

Green Car Congress

Ocean acidification, a direct consequence of increasing atmospheric CO 2 concentrations, must be part of the agenda at the United Nations Copenhagen conference, the world’s science academies warned in a joint statement published by the InterAcademy Panel on International Issues (IAP). This represents a 30% increase in hydrogen ion activity.
