Ilmu Geodesi berperan penting dalam kegiatan perencanaan lokasi pelabuhan melalui kegiatan survei hidrografi dan oseanografi.
Background Indonesia's has huge fisheries potential that needs to be utilized as a source of food and commodity trade to increase economic growth. One fisheries potential is the diversity of reef fish species that live in tropical waters.... more
Contamination with heavy metals is one of the most serious problems in the aquatic environments. In Egypt, Environmental pollution with heavy metals is one of the biggest problems that face human being. Metals are natural trace components... more
The inherent difficulties during the planning and management in the coastal zones are essentially related to the lack of knowledge of many natural processes that take place at the beach. This study was performed in Los Tuxtlas´s region... more
The location of the technologically advanced civilization of Atlantis has boggled the minds of archaeologists, seizmologists and oceanographers for centuries. The bewilderment is further compounded by the fact that no concrete proof of... more
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) was domesticated ∼8000 years ago in the Americas and today is a staple food which has been consumed worldwide for its edible seeds and pods. In Ethiopia, it is one of the most important cash crops and... more

PEMODELAN PASANG SURUT ASTRONOMIS TERENDAH UNTUK PENENTUAN BATAS LAUT (STUDI KASUS: LAUT SULAWESI) 1Fajri D. Justitianto 1Oseanografer Abstract IHO (International Hydrographic Organization) has recommended the using of Lowest... more
Accurate prediction of maximum scour depth is important for the optimum design of seawall structure. Owing to the complex interaction of the incident waves, sediment bed, and seawalls, the prediction of the scour depth is not an easy task... more
In intertidal environments, temperature changes at hourly scales are ecologically relevant because of the physiological stress that organisms must endure as a result. Tides constitute the main source of such changes, as low tides... more
This paper presents a 3D model in sigma coordinates. Although the principles it is based on have been established for some time, some original aspects for this type of 3D mode splitting model are presented here. The model was designed to... more

An overview of sea-life consumed by the Norse peoples of the Viking Age.
Danish marine scientist, Johannes Schmidt was a pioneer when it comes to popularizing deep-sea marine research through the use of mass media. When Schmidt headed the Carlsberg Foundation’s Oceanographical Expedition Round the World,... more
By accident, the world-famous brewery Carlsberg became a central force in global marine science during the first three decades of the 20th century. Within a core group of scientists and managers, Johannes Schmidt (1877-1933) was the key... more
Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem. However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste estimated to have entered the ocean from land is unaccounted for.... more

Upwelling occurs on several coasts of the world, but it has mostly been studied on eastern ocean boundaries. We investigated upwelling on a western ocean boundary for which limited information exists. Using daily in-situ data on sea... more
Macrourids are among the most abundant and diverse demersal fishes in all deep oceans, including the Southwestern Brazilian continental slope. Although not targeted by Brazilian fisheries, they suffer impact similar than the target... more

ABSTRACT Lakes are ‘hotspots’ for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Understanding the processes regulating GHG emissions from lakes, and their temporal variability, is essential for more... more
Utility leaders worldwide face multiple challenges to secure a reliable, efficient and sustainable future water supply – from accelerated population growth, to exhaustion of our traditional water sources, water scarcity driven by climate... more
Freshwater eels of the genus Anguilla consists of 16 species and 3 subspecies that are distributed in the Indo-Pacific and North Atlantic Ocean. They are consumed as delicacies throughout their dispersal range especially in Japan, Europe... more
The present work describes an operational strategy for the development of a multiscale modeling system, based on a multiple-nesting approach and open-source numerical models. The strategy was applied and validated for the Gulf of Taranto... more
The concentration of iodate and iodide were independently determined in seawater samples from Guanabara Bay (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) taken at depths from 0.15 to 5 m (which was almost the bottom), at various times of day and in three... more
