    Description: Most species of large whales are endangered because for centuries whaling fleets have decimated their populations. In the late 1960s, marine-mammal biologists discovered that fishermen setting nets for tuna in the Pacific Ocean were killing more than 100,000 dolphins a year. The cause of marine-mammal conservation became so popular at the dawn of the environmental movement that one of the first environmental accomplishments of the US Congress was to enact the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, which prohibits the killing or injuring of marine mammals. Today, small remnant populations of whales, such as the North Atlantic right whale, are threatened by entanglement in fishing gear and collisions by ships. Indeed, marine biologists have estimated that hundreds of thousands of marine mammals are killed each year in fishing gear. Inadvertent effects of human activities can pose a serious risk to coastal populations, as evidenced by the recent extinction of the Chinese river dolphin due to fishing, pollution, and overdevelopment of the Yangtze River. A few decades ago, conservation efforts focused on reducing the intentional hunting of marine mammals. Nowadays, when hunts for marine mammals are better controlled, the slow degradation of habitat from a combination of sources may have a bigger impact. For example, biologists have documented cases in which the effects of coastal development—including noise, pollution, and dredging—have caused marine mammals to abandon critical breeding habitat. Noise in particular is at issue in legal actions that have been brought against the US Navy for sonar exercises that may have caused whales to strand and die.

    A new equation for the accurate calculation of sound speed in all oceans (2008)
    American Institute of Physics
    In:  Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 124 (5). pp. 2774-2782.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-07-16
    Description: A new equation is proposed for the calculation of sound speed in seawater as a function of temperature, salinity, depth, and latitude in all oceans and open seas, including the Baltic and the Black Sea. The proposed equation agrees to better than ±0.2m∕s with two reference complex equations, each fitting the best available data corresponding to existing waters of different salinities. The only exceptions are isolated hot brine spots that may be found at the bottom of some seas. The equation is of polynomial form, with 14 terms and coefficients of between one and three significant figures. This is a substantial reduction in complexity compared to the more complex equations using pressure that need to be calculated according to depth and location. The equation uses the 1990 universal temperature scale (an elementary transformation is given for data based on the 1968 temperature scale). It is hoped that the equation will be useful to those who need to calculate sound speed in applications of marine acoustics.

    Laser-slaved piezo-controlled Fabry–Perot interferometer (2008)
    American Institute of Physics
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-02-24
    Description: A high-resolution Fabry–Perot interferometer was inserted in a feedback loop which, by monitoring elements of the fringe pattern, keeps the position of the transmitting window fixed with respect to a given line, taking into account the instability of the radiation source which would produce a wander of the line itself and the noise affecting the tuning of the receiving interferometer. The system, in this preliminary form, is able to lock itself and maintain its position indefinitely for slow and moderately fast varying disturbances.

    Seafloor reflectivity—An important seismic property for interpreting fluid/gas expulsion geology and the presence of gas hydrate (2006)
    American Institute of Physics
    In:  The Leading Edge, 25 (5). pp. 620-628.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-01-20
    Description: A bottom-simulating reflection (BSR) is a seismic reflectivity phenomenon that is widely accepted as indicating the base of the gas-hydrate stability zone. The acoustic impedance difference between sediments invaded with gas hydrate above the BSR and sediments without gas hydrate, but commonly with free gas below, are accepted as the conditions that create this reflection. The relationship between BSRs and marine gas hydrate has become so well known since the 1970s that investigators, when asked to define the most important seismic attribute of marine gas-hydrate systems, usually reply, “a BSR event.” Research conducted over the last decade has focused on calibrating seafloor seismic reflectivity across the geology of the northern Gulf of Mexico (GoM) continental slope surface to the seafloor. This research indicates that the presence and character of seafloor bright spots (SBS) can be indicators of gas hydrates in surface and near-surface sediments (Figure 1). It has become apparent that SBSs on the continental slope generally are responses to fluid and gas expulsion processes. Gas-hydrate formation is, in turn, related to these processes. As gas-hydrate research expands around the world, it will be interesting to find if SBS behavior in other deepwater settings is as useful for identifying gas-hydrate sites as in the GoM.

    Description: The seismic trace is a complex aggregate of reflected and scattered signals from subsurface formation interfaces and heterogeneities. Although many varieties of random noise may also be present in the trace, we know from reacquiring the same seismic survey that seismic data are highly repeatable, indicating that significant information about the subsurface is contained in the trace but not yet used by our standard analysis methods. Seismic scattering is a type of signal contained in the data that is generally not utilized.

    From COST 238 To COST 296: Four European COST Actions On Ionospheric Physics And Radio Propagation (2008)
    American Institute of Physics
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: COST (Co-operation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research) is an important instrument supporting co-operation among scientists and researchers across Europe now joining 35 member countries. Scientific projects in the COST framework are called COST Actions and have the objectives embodied in their respective Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The main objectives of the COST Actions within the European ionospheric and radio propagation community have been: to study the influence of upper atmospheric conditions on terrestrial and Earthspace communications, to develop methods and techniques to improve existing and generate new ionospheric and propagation models over Europe for telecommunication and navigation applications and to transfer the results to the appropriate national and international organizations, institutions and industry dealing with the modern communication systems. This paper summarises in brief the background and historical context of four ionospheric COST Actions and outlines their main objectives and results. In addition, the paper discusses the dissemination of the results and the collaboration among the participating institutions and researchers.

    Seismic detection of marine methane hydrate (2002)
    American Institute of Physics
    In:  The Leading Edge, 21 (7). pp. 686-689.
    Details

    Description: As offshore petroleum exploration and development move into deeper water, industry must contend increasingly with gas hydrate, a solid compound that binds water and a low-molecular-weight gas (usually methane). Gas hydrate has been long studied in industry from an engineering viewpoint, due to its tendency to clog gas pipelines. However, hydrate also occurs naturally wherever there are high pressures, low temperatures, and sufficient concentrations of gas and water. These conditions prevail in two natural environments, both of which are sites of active exploration: permafrost regions and marine sediments on continental slopes. In this article we discuss seismic detection of gas hydrate in marine sediments. Gas hydrate in deepwater sediments poses both new opportunities and new hazards. An enormous quantity of natural gas, likely far exceeding the global inventory of conventional fossil fuels, is locked up worldwide in hydrates. Ex-traction of this unconventional resource presents unique exploration, engineering, and economic challenges, and several countries, including the United States, Japan, Canada, India, and Korea, have initiated joint industry-academic-governmental programs to begin studying those challenges. Hydrates also constitute a potential drilling hazard. Because hydrates are only stable in a restricted range of pressure and temperature, any activity that sufficiently raises temperature or lowers pressure could destabilize them, releasing potentially large volumes of gas and decreasing the shear strength of the host sediments. Assessment of the opportunities and hazards associated with hydrates requires reliable methods of detecting hydrate and accurate maps of their distribution and concentration. Hydrate may occur only within the upper few hundred meters of deepwater sediment, at any depth between the seafloor and the base of the stability zone, which is controlled by local pressure and temperature. Hydrate is occasionally exposed at the seafloor, where it can be detected either visually or acoustically by strong seismic reflection amplitudes or high backscatter …
