Oceanographer Quotes

To push inward is hard, to descend even more so; it challenges our sense of who we are and where we came from. This is why, even though we are inundated with seawater, the advances of our oceanographic agencies do not match those of our space agencies.

Every historical subject is deeper than The Mariana Trench. Wikipedia is for people who like to splash around in mud puddles and think of themselves as oceanographers. Even my ducks delve down further than those people, because they actually explore the world around them.

The imaginary child implied by the toys on exhibit in Hong Kong was impossible to reconcile with my actual child. I didn't think I'd like to meet the imaginary child they implied. That child was mad with contradictions. He was a machine-gun-toting, Chopin-playing psychopath with a sugar high and a short attention span.

Who has more reason to worship than the astronomer who has seen the stars? Than the surgeon who has held a heart? Than the oceanographer who has pondered the depths?

Drilling from a ship in open water is, in the words of one oceanographer, "like trying to drill a hole in the sidewalks of New York from atop the Empire State Building using a strand of spaghetti".

the main expressed goal for oceanographers during International Geophysical Year, 1957/8, was to study “the use of ocean depths for the dumping of radioactive wastes.” This wasn’t a secret assignment, you understand, but a proud public boast. In

At a reception at the National Academy of Sciences on Constitution Avenue, which now boasts the world's most interesting statue of Einstein, a twelve foot high, full-length bronze figure of him reclining, he listened to long speeches from honorees, including Prince Albert I of Monaco, who was an avid oceanographer, a North Carolina scholar of hookworms, and a man who had invented a solar stove. As the evening droned on Einstein turned to a Dutch diplomat seated next him and said, "I've just developed a new theory of eternity.

Many people are bothered about the number of privately owned guns in the United States, but what about publicly owned ones? In recent years the United States government (not the military) has purchased 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, enough to shoot the entire population five times over. The Social Security Administration ordered 174,000 rounds of hollow-point bullets. The Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Education, the Bureau of Land Management, even the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, all have guns.

Marijuana-steeped conversations concerning questions of wave formation often take on mystical dimensions. Oceanographers and meteorologists can get even farther out there. They smoke math.

Reading was the only subject at which I excelled. I would much rather be reading James Fenimore Cooper than dealing with participles in French. My poor school performance was puzzling because my parents saw that I possessed intelligence and curiosity. Marine biology became a passion. When I asked them to drive me to Boston to hear lectures by Jacques Cousteau, my first hero, they were happy to do so. They took me to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, a paradise for a kid in love with water. I was obsessed with learning from those men who explored the deep. I wanted to go deep. I was told that if I kept up my grades I could come back one summer and intern at Woods Hole. That never happened. My grades were below average. That became the great mystery of my childhood: Why was I having

Roger Revelle, an American oceanographer, and Hans Suess, a physical chemist, appraised the process of mass-scale fossil fuel combustion in its correct evolutionary terms: “Thus human beings are now carrying out a large scale geophysical experiment of a kind that could not have happened in the past nor be reproduced in the future. Within a few centuries we are returning to the atmosphere and oceans the concentrated organic carbon stored in sedimentary rocks over hundreds of millions of years.”47 I cannot imagine what other phrasing could have better conveyed the unprecedented nature of this new reality

Plastic is like that,” Oliver was saying. “It never biodegrades. It gets churned around in the gyre and ground down into particles. Oceanographers call it confetti. In a granular state, it hangs around forever.

No one knew the Sounder could drive so hard. Her decks trembled with the straining throb of her engines and the hull shuddered as it pounded into the swells. Launched at a shipyard in Boston during the summer of 1961, she had spend almost three decades chartering out to oceanographic schools for deep-water research projects in every sea of the world. After her purchase by NUMA in 1990, she had been completely overhauled and refitted. Her new 4,000-horsepower diesel engine was designed to push her at a maximum of fourteen knots, but Stewart and his engineers somehow coaxed seventeen out of her. The Sounder was the only ship on the trail of the Lady Flamborough, and she stood as much chance of closing the gap as a basset hound after a leopard. Wartships of the Argentine Navy and British naval units stationed in the Falkland Islands might have intercepted the fleeing cruise ship, but they were not alerted.

In 1956, oceanographer Henry Stommel suggested that, because of differences in temperature and salinity between the surface and the deep ocean, if you connect the surface and the deep ocean with a tube and push water through it, it might continue flowing indefinitely.

Also, as oceanographer Sylvia Earle points out, the ocean “provides home for about 97 percent of life in the world, and maybe in the universe.” That life, most of it microbial, determines most of the Gaian balance of gases in the atmosphere.

Sometimes when in an argument people start saying that the Russians have been always turning yellowbelly before the Bolsheviks, the oceanographer and author Slava Kurilov who tragically died a few years ago comes to my mind. He certainly belonged to the small tribe of brave men who dared challenge the villainous authorities. A jump into the endless ocean from

Rachel’s response was gentle. As far as a continuation of consciousness beyond death, she was willing to dwell in mystery, and invoked the words of Swedish oceanographer Otto Pettersson, who, at the end of his long life, told his son that he would be sustained “by an infinite curiosity as to what was to follow.” But there was one thing about which Carson did have some certainty, and that was in her sense of what she called “material immortality,” where our bodies are first broken down by decay, then resurrected physically in new cellular arrangements. She summoned the words she had penned in an early piece, “Undersea,” published in 1937 by the Atlantic Monthly. Individual elements are lost to view, only to reappear again and again in different incarnations in a kind of material immortality.… Against this cosmic background the life span of a particular plant or animal appears not as a drama complete in itself, but only as a brief interlude in a panorama of endless change. She

And then, as I shivered on the bridge, I noticed something out on the pond. Trim, white, 21 feet long, there it was: Alvin, a submersible capable of carrying three people down to explore the ocean to a depth of 6,000 feet. Owned by the Navy but operated by Woods Hole, it was on the pond undergoing some sort of testing. I was mesmerized by the sight of it and my sense of what it could do. Alvin was the only submersible at any American oceanographic institution. Scripps didn’t even have one. Up until then, explorations of the deep-sea floor were conducted from the ocean surface, using sonar and other remote detection techniques. I could see that Alvin would make it possible for scientists to go underwater themselves and maneuver around to explore with their own eyes. That made it my kind of sea craft.

We were still settling in, a few months later, when there came the proverbial knock on the door. It was a Navy detailer, telling me my transfer had been approved. I was soon assigned to the Office of Naval Research’s Boston location as the liaison officer with research scientists on several campuses, including Scripps’s biggest rival, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod.

Murray believed that they were performing oceanographic science in a region previously unexplored by man.

The entire legacy of humanity will be only one thing, a line of red goop in the paleo-oceanographic record, a time of no calcium carbonate shells that will stretch on for several million years. The sadness of our stupidity is overwhelming.

the space station show that even small particles of matter will group together when in total weightlessness.  Supporting the fact that it is possible to have gravity on the inside and outside of a hollow planet, holding people to the land mass that is between the inside and outside.  Seismic testing has been done confirming this hollow earth theory is possible.  Oceanographic Geology, when studied closely, shows the earth is expanding in size, and has been doing so for a long time.  Why don't we know this theory?  The answer should be obvious.  "They" don't want us to know.  Whomever controls this society doesn't want us to be aware of certain facts that show us updated versions of the world around us.  They don't want people to discover we may not be the only civilization here, and that it may be possible

The word scientist wasn’t coined until the nineteenth century, when it was proposed as a counterpart to artist by oceanographer and poet William Whewell.

As the administrative litigation is expected to continue until early next year, Haeundae is expected to maintain its self-employed status next year. Hwang Yoon-sung, the head of the emergency committee of Haeundae High School, said, "We expected that the cancellation of the Busan education office's self-assessment of the self-assessment of the self-administration system will be cited for the suspension of the application as it is currently in the middle of recruiting freshmen from Haeundae High School, so that there will be no problem in recruiting new students.

In 2017 scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute tried to measure the methane seeping up from Norway’s Arctic coast, where the oceans are warmer than they used to be. They discovered that the warming that was pushing up the methane was also pumping nutrients from the seafloor to the surface. The nutrients were feeding huge blooms of phytoplankton. To the scientists’ astonishment, the plankton took in so much carbon dioxide via photosynthesis that they more than canceled out the effects of the methane. This is a small example of a general problem: our continuing ignorance about the impacts of life.

That is what Wally Broecker, the avuncular oceanographer, meant when he called the planet an “angry beast.” You could also go with “war machine.” Each day we arm it more.

You branded my virginity with the Union Jack, your English accent, your Welsh heritage. I look from your face to your genitals…..You look so ugly there! But can’t you make me come, like you do? Can’t I have that too? Words are hieroglyphics for much bigger events. I make light of my disappointment. “I don’t know. I was a virgin a minute ago and don’t know if I still am. What happened?” I caress your penis only to discover I am pulling on your Puritan horrors. I recall all your careers and wonder if you still want to be an oceanographer, journalist, radio-TV newsman, reporter, electrician, electronics specialist or a Star Trek crew member. It is as if I live on Joseph Conrad’s lifeboat and you on Fellini’s Romaluxury liner, insisting you do not need luxury, but find it comfortable. “Is that all you think about? Your precious baby-free sex?” I wonder that what you feel for me (is)… some nebulous middle-class sense of “This is okay for a while relationship but nothing serious.” Color is as necessary to the soul as food is to the body. “When will you learn we were all young then? We’ve grown up and changed. We all hurt each other, but we all loved each other.” “I tried to live how other people say life should be lived, but I tired of it too quickly. It drains the soul to live a conventional life.” “God, I love Americans! They have such damn awful energy! Canadians just sit back on their arses and bad-rap Americans because they’re so jealous.” “I walk around for years,” you say, “for years, a virgin! But now, I am not. And in lovely San Francisco with a beautiful, older American woman!” you say and kiss my mouth.

Thomas Crowley and Gerald North, oceanographers at Texas A&M University, describe the melting of the great ice-sheets at the end of the last Ice Age as 'one of the most rapid and extreme examples of climate change recorded in the geologic record'.

In 1988 the German oceanographer Hartmut Heinrich was the first to come up with the firm geological evidence for such a cataclysmic 'iceberg-calving' process during the last Ice Age. By examining deep-sea drill cores sampled at various points across the North Atlantic he demonstrated the existence of widely dispersed layers of 'ice-rafted detritus' -- millions of tonnes of rocks and rocky debris that had once stood on land, that had been clawed up by the ice-sheets and that had ultimately been carried out to sea frozen into huge icebergs: 'As they melted they released rock debris that was dropped into the fine-grained sediments of the ocean floor. Much of this ice-rafted debris consists of limestones similar to those exposed over large areas of eastern Canada today. The Heinrich layers as they have become known, extend 3000 kilometers across the North Atlantic, almost reaching Ireland.' The Heinrich layers record at least six separate discharges of 'stupendous flotillas of ice-bergs' into the North Atlantic -- discharges that are now known, obviously enough, as 'Heinrich Events' and that are thought to have unfolded in concentrated bursts of activity that may, in each case, have lasted less than a century. Because of the progressive thickening of the Heinrich layers towards the western side of the Atlantic and the continuation of this trend into the Labrador Sea in the direction of Hudson Bay, it is obvious to geologists that 'much of the floating ice was sourced from the Laurentide ice-sheet'. However, other debris has been found intermingled in some Heinrich layers that 'could only have come from separate ice-sheets covering not only Canada, but Greenland, Iceland, the British Isles and Scandinavia'. Likewise, research into southern hemisphere ice-caps in the Andes and New Zealand shows that these too 'grew and then collapsed synchronously with the ice-rafting pulses recorded in the North Atlantic'. The implication [...] is that some 'global rather than regional forcing of climate change' must have been at work.
