Abstract:

This dissertation investigates some conceptions of oceans in modern Western societies that are highly influential in shaping human-ocean relations. My main aim in this dissertation is to demonstrate that the Western discourses of law, science and the aesthetic of the sublime illuminate characteristics of human-ocean relations in Western societies. I argue that the conceptions developed and perpetuated in the discourses of law, aesthetics and science unnecessarily constrain the possibilities for human-ocean relations and undermine just existences of oceans.

Abstract:

The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon in the equatorial Indian Ocean, with a positive mode characterized by anomalous warming of sea surface temperatures in the west and anomalous cooling in the east. The IOD has been shown to affect inter-annual variability of the Indian monsoon. There is also evidence that the IOD may affect the formation, strength and duration of monsoon-related oceanic features in the North West Indian Ocean (NWIO), including fronts and eddies, the Somali upwelling and the ‘Great Whirl’ system. However, the mechanism by which the IOD develo

This study was conducted to examine the effects of clouds on the ocean mixed layer, both short-term and seasonal. It utilized data collected at Ocean Station Papa in the northeast Pacific. Two numerical modeling simulations were performed (i.e., with variable cloud and with variable precipitation). The results for the variable cloud simulation indicated that the downward surface buoyancy flux and longer daylight period in summer may induce a significant albedo effect of cloud on ocean mixed layer. The upward surface buoyancy flux and longer night period in winter will result in a pronounced gr

<p> In the mid-1970s, an enormous open-ocean polynya developed in the Weddell Sea. Since the Weddell Polynya's occurrence, no polynya of similar size or duration has been observed in the region. A polynya of this magnitude could significantly affect global abyssal ocean properties via increased Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) formation and large Weddell Sea water mass property perturbations. However, the scarcity of 1970s Weddell Sea observations, coupled with the sparseness of abyssal ocean observations, make it difficult to study this phenomenon's oceanic impact without models.

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are the most devastating weather phenomenon in nature with the powerful storm surge events occurring when severe and large TCs make landfall along coastlines.

Intensity may be impacted by the mixing length temperature (known as Tdy) and barrier layer thickness (BLT). Similar to cyclones in other tropical ocean basins, tropical cyclones in the South West Indian Ocean also cause significant social and economic damage in southea

Other studies considered a sloping shelf but they did not take into account a possible non-zero depth at a coastal wall.

Abstract:

Diatoms are key primary producers and therefore make an important contribution to carbon export. These phytoplankton utilise dissolved silica (DSi), sourced from riverine, atmospheric, sedimentary and hydrothermal inputs, and convert it to biogenic silica (bSiO₂). Some of this bSiO₂ dissolves in the water column, regenerating the DSi pool, whereas the remaining fraction settles out to the sediments (e.g. via aggregates) to form bSiO₂ accumulations. These occur primarily in the Southern Ocean and provide a sedimentary archive regarding export production over hundreds to millions of years.

The annual advance and retreat of sea ice in the Southern Ocean is recognised as one of the largest seasonal events on Earth. Such considerable physical changes have profound effects on the vertical structure of the water column, and hence controls the availability of both light and nutrients to phytoplankton. This means that in the region seasonally covered by sea ice (the SSIZ), the timing of the growth and decline (phenology) of phytoplankton is determined to a large degree by the dynamic interactions between ice, ocean and atmosphere.

By its immense influence on the global climate systems, this vast realm continually shapes life on the land. It is the least understood realm on the planet, home to a system of life that we did not know existed ? nor was it one we could even have imagined - only found by accident in the late twentieth century. We are tampering blindly with this vast realm, destroying segments of the intricate and

Abstract:

The global mid-ocean ridge (MOR) system is ~60 000 km long and accounts for 9% of the seafloor. Deep-sea organisms living on MOR have two potential energy sources; chemosynthesis and the downward flux of photosynthetic organic matter. This study examines the trophodynamics of benthic fauna collected from non-vent sites north and south of the Charlie-Gibb Fracture Zone (CGFZ) on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) and hydrothermal vents fields (E2 and E9) on the East Scotia Ridge (ESR) using stable isotopes of carbon (δ13C), nitrogen (δ15N) and sulphur (δ34S). δ13C and δ34S values revealed the MAR ben
