The sonde is constructed such that an approx. 7 m/sec water flow through the sonde is in no way obstructed.

Texas A&M University (TAMU), as Science Operator, has as its ultimate task to collect cores from the floor of the oceans and to ensure that adequate scientific analyses are performed on those samples. The Science Operator implements the science plans, provides logistical and technical support for the shipboard science team, manages post-cruise activities and the long term curation and distribution of core samples, and coordinates, edits, and publishes the final research product. The scientific program uses a dynamically positioned commercial drillship, the JOIDES RESOLUTION, which has a much more expansive research and drilling facility than previously employed for scientific ocean drilling. TAMU receives scientific guidance from an international scientific organization called the Joint Oceanographic Institutions for Deep Earth Sampling (JOIDES). The primary scientific objectives of the ODP lie in studying the origin and evolution of the oceanic crust, the tectonic evolution of the continental margins, the origin and evolution of marine sedimentary sequences, studies of long term changes in the atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere, biosphere, and magnetic field, and in the development of new tools and technology for deep ocean exploration and drilling.

The causes are identified as primarily economic with uncertainties raised by the Law of the Sea Treaty debate and political indecisiveness contributing to restriction of private sector investment. Revitalization of ocean mining is shown to depend upon the jettisoning of the outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, the development of a strong exploration data base by Government programs and sponsored research, and the marked improvement of the free world metals market. The inevitability of the eventual development of marine hard minerals is emphasized.","PeriodicalId":437366,"journal":{"name":"OCEANS '85 - Ocean Engineering and the Environment","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130352507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study generated base line data on student science knowledge of 4th, 8th and 11th grades on this specific issue. A representative sample of public school students (n=226) from Maine were interviewed on marine science, natural resource and decision-making concepts. Student knowledge was assessed and classified according to correct concepts, missing concepts and misconceptions. Similarities and differences between grade levels were analyzed. This research project identifies student knowledge of marine science and natural resource concepts which affect learning. It helps define the relationships among scientific knowledge, student understanding and current natural resource issues. The results will lead to the design of a curriculum for teaching natural resource decision-making based on science concepts and people's understanding and beliefs.
