Science for just $15 USD. Abstract The deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) layer is an ecologically important feature of the open ocean. The DCM cannot be observed using aerial or satellite remote sensing; thus, in situ observations are essential. Further, understanding the responses of microbes to the environmental processes driving their metabolism and interactions requires observing in a reference frame that moves with a plankton population drifting in ocean currents, i.e., Lagrangian. Here, we r...

Researcher Develops Formulas To Predict Coastal Sediment Movement When Ashwin Gadgil, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Ocean Engineering at Texas A&M University at Galveston, was tasked by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to design beneficial-use islands in the Corpus Christi Bay using dredged sediment pulled from the channel, several things were on his mind. Perhaps most important was to design the islands in such a way that the least amount of sediment was transported back into the c...

Again. will ripley, thank you. lets get perspective on all the new developments and what this means with cnns aviation analyst mary schiavo and david soucie. mary, what does this news mean? its dn described by a couple of people to me as devastating. >> certainly its devastating to hear. i think what it means in terms of the search is theyve done what they can do with the area. one of the thanes they can say that the pings are from the black box cess the u.s. navy has finished their search in th...

Detected appears to be inconsistent with other data about the position of the plane, but scientists continue to analyze it. it just goes to show they are following up on every possible lead to find wreckage. theyre hoping to share their findings sometime in the near future. rene marsh, cnn, washington. the u.s. navy later pulled back from those comments by deputy director of ocean engineering, michael dane, who says the pings were likely a false lead. a navy statement reads mr. danes comments ...

America versus australia in the battle over the missing plane tonight. the deputy prime minister of australia tried to defend his work. >> we are still very confident that the resting place of the aircraft is in the southern ocean and along the seventh ping line. >> the u.s. navys though, deputy director of ocean engineering has raised a red flag. >> i would have to say at this point based on all of the imagery data we have collected and looked at, if that black box were nearby, we would have pi...

>> no signs of aircraft debris have been found. the area can now be discounted as the final resting place for flight 370. >> reporter: that means its back to focusing on a larger area, hundreds of miles elsewhere along the inmarsat achl arc. this, one day after michael dean, deputy director of the ocean engineering, said in an exclusive interview, the pings were likely not from flight 370s black boxes. >> our best theory at this point was it was likely some sound produced from the ship. >> its n...
