Oceanography (Audio)

This research conference held at the University of California, Santa Barbara addresses the important issues of food sustainability in our world where population growth creates an increasing demand for food. This conference discusses how food from the sea can be one of the primary sources to help feed the growing population, and that there are sustainable methods to do so without damaging the existing environments or dwindling the populations the animals being harvested.

Fish showed up in the fossil record about 500 million years ago, and today, they are the most diverse group of vertebrate animals on the planet. Phil Hastings, Scripps Professor, and Curator of the SIO Marine Vertebrate Collection, will discuss the global diversity of fishes. Series: "Jeffrey B.

Berkeley Lab scientist Marcus Lehmann, a member of the Lab's Cyclotron Road cohort, discusses his research on harnessing energy from ocean waves. Series: "Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory " [Science] [Show ID: 29640]

Eric Allen’s research focuses on the discovery and genetic manipulation of microbial biosynthetic pathways involved in the synthesis of marine natural products such as omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. He is a faculty affiliate of the Scripps Center for Oceans and Human Health, which studies halogenated organic compounds, contaminents found naturally in common seafood as well as manmade chemicals that accumulate in human breast milk.

“Internal waves,” large waves that break underwater, can displace the ocean’s layers, mixing cold, nutrient-rich water below with the waters above. Matthew Alford of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography introduces these waves, describes the technology used to observe them and discusses their three primary impacts: interfering with submarine navigation, divers and offshore structures; fueling biological production and redistributing algae and larvae by transporting ocean nutrients into shallow coastal regions; and predicting climate change in conjunction with computer simulations of the ocean.
