MBARI news—2005

1

Scientists use remotely operated vehicle to dive underneath Antarctic icebergs

27 Dec 2005

December 27, 2005 – A team of scientists from MBARI’s Midwater Ecology group spent December studying oceanic animals around and underneath Antarctic icebergs.

2

MBARI researchers contribute to international report on carbon dioxide capture and storage

20 Dec 2005

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently published their final report on methods for capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide with the goal of reducing greenhouse warming of the Earth.

MBARI research highlights—AGU 2005 Fall Meeting

05 Dec 2005

MBARI researchers will present more than a dozen talks and posters at the American Geophysical Union 2005 Fall Meeting in San Francisco. These talks will cover subjects ranging from the impacts of ocean acidification to the immense algal blooms that follow El Niño events.

MBARI and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution launch new mooring off Monterey Bay

10 Oct 2005

Researchers from MBARI and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) recently worked together to design, assemble, and launch a new research mooring off Monterey Bay.

5

Following the trail of sand in Monterey Canyon

30 Sep 2005

Each winter, storm waves sweep thousands of tons of beach sand along the coast of Monterey Bay. This sand is carried parallel to shore until it reaches Moss Landing, where it enters the head of Monterey Canyon.

6

Undersea seismometer captures clear signals of big quake

24 Aug 2005

A recent analysis of earthquake waves from last December’s Sumatra earthquake showed that MBARI’s seabottom seismometer in Monterey Bay can provide earthquake records as clear as those from the best land-based stations.

7

MARS ocean observatory update—Preparing the main science node

16 Aug 2005

During the spring and summer of 2005, engineers have been working on the main “science node,” a key element of the Monterey Accelerated Research System (MARS). After being installed on the seafloor, the science node will serve as a network hub and an electrical substation for the MARS underwater observatory.

Deep-sea jelly uses glowing red lures to catch fish

07 Jul 2005

As successful fishermen know, if you want to catch fish, you have to use the right bait or lure. This is true even in the deep sea, where scientists recently discovered a new species of jelly that attracts fish by wiggling hundreds of glowing red lures.

9

“Sinkers” provide missing piece in deep-sea puzzle

09 Jun 2005

Jun 9, 2005 – After analyzing hundreds of hours of deep-sea video, Bruce Robison and his colleagues found that “sinkers”—the cast-off mucus nets of small midwater animals called larvaceans—are a significant source of food for deep-sea organisms.

10

MBARI scientists and engineers describe new high-tech research tools

24 May 2005

One of David Packard’s goals when founding MBARI was to create an environment where scientists and engineers could work together to develop new cutting-edge tools for marine research. Six different examples of such work are being presented this week at the 2005 Joint Assembly meeting of AGU in New Orleans.

11

MBARI AUV completes pioneering mission to map seafloor

04 May 2005

MBARI engineers recently launched an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with three sonar mapping devices on board. The mission was the culmination of three years of preparation and is part of a larger MBARI endeavor to bring high quality sonar mapping devices to the deep sea.

12

Canyons, currents, and algal blooms—How Monterey Canyon influences the growth of microscopic marine algae

05 Apr 2005

MBARI oceanographer John Ryan recently published a scientific paper describing how Monterey Canyon can influence the growth and distribution of phytoplankton.

13

MBARI presentations at the 2005 ASLO Aquatic Sciences Meeting

22 Feb 2005

Several MBARI researchers are presenting talks and posters this week at the 2005 Aquatic Sciences Meeting of the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) in Salt Lake City, Utah. These presentations reflect the diversity of research in biological oceanography at MBARI.

14

Looking for signs of change—Exploring submarine canyons and underwater landslides in Southern California

17 Feb 2005

This February, MBARI geologists are using the research vessel Western Flyer and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Tiburon to explore several submarine canyons and undersea landslides off the Southern California coast.

15

When is a cold seep not a cold seep?

10 Feb 2005

MBARI geologist Charles Paull was one of the first scientists to study and name “cold-seep communities.” However, after studying several hundred of these communities in Monterey Bay, Paull has concluded that few are located in areas of significant groundwater flow.

About MBARI

Research programs at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) encompass the entire ocean, from the surface waters to the deep seafloor, and from the coastal zone to the open sea. The need to understand the ocean in all its complexity and variability drives MBARI's research and development efforts.
