Spread Of Marine Larvae Predicted Term Paper

" (Science Daily, 2006) Scientists state that they suspect temperature as playing a critical role in dispersal of larvae because "metabolic processes in larvae are sensitive to temperature and similar among species." (Science Daily, 2006) COMMENTS

Certainly, the importance of knowledge gained in this area of science has never been so critical as the life in the world's ocean is faced with change after change due to the climate changes occurring. Furthermore the understanding garnered in this study is of critical importance when considering the temperature changes that are occurring and are due to occur as the ice shelves melt and drift into the ocean current and begin cooling down the presently ocean waters that are presently experiencing higher than usual temperatures. The future of marine life is critically important in the commercial fishery industry and as well is just as important in the food-supply of those living on earth....

Knowledge in this area will inform scientists as to the rate and success of reproduction in marine life and will further inform science as to the location of marine life based upon water temperatures in the future. It is interesting to note that the expected temperature changes of cooling ocean waters goes unmentioned in this article because it is specifically these upcoming changes to the ocean conveyor that make the findings of this research hold the importance that it certainly does possess. Of course, it has not yet become popular in the scientific community in some countries of the world to acknowledge that climate warming soon turns to cooling of the climate and specifically the cooling of the ocean as it becomes invaded by very large chunks of floating ice shelves that have melted in the polar regions of the earth..

International Regulation of Tourism in Antarctica
Words: 19613 Length: 75 Document Type: Term Paper

International Regulation of Tourism in Antarctica Since the mid-1980s, Antarctica has been an increasingly popular tourist destination, despite the relative danger of visiting the largest, least explored -- and arguably least understood -- continent on earth. Beginning with the 1959 treaty establishing Antarctica as an international zone free of claims of sovereignty by nation's that had been instrumental in establishing research stations there, there has been almost constant negotiation about how
