(2) At one level they look quite reasonable, for example in suggesting a merger between BAS and the National Oceanography Centre based in Southampton and Liverpool.
(3) David Zee, oceanography professor at the State University of Rio de Janeiro, says the same pattern was evident at other sites that were supposed to have been improved in time for the Games.
(4) The programme has been heavily criticised for distorting scientific data to fit the sceptic argument and Carl Wunsch, a professor of physical oceanography at MIT who featured in the programme, later said that he was "totally misled" by the film makers and that his comments were "completely misrepresented".
(5) Five hundred miles away in India, on the other side of the Bay of Bengal, researchers in the oceanography department at the University of Jadavpur in Kolkata say dozens of islands in the Indian Sunderban region are being regularly flooded, threatening thousands.

(7) "We detect an insatiable demand for information about the oceans," said Ed Hill, the director of the National Oceanography Centre at Southampton University .
(8) • Tim Barnett, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, US, to Gabi Hegerl, Duke University, US, 18 May 2007 (email 850) This is during a discussion about information a group of scientists wants to request from climate modellers to improve their understanding of the models – and presumably improve the models themselves.
(9) "If you want to understand climate, we should invest more in making observations of climate change, and as the Arctic ocean is the amplifier of global warming, we should concentrate on the Arctic region to understand how fast the warming is taking place," says Wieslaw Maslowski, a research associate professor in oceanography at the US Naval Postgraduate School and science adviser to the Catlin survey.
(10) Google Earth has collected huge amounts of data from reliable sources such as the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego and the US Navy.
(11) "We had a computer lab, we had oceanography, we had anatomy, we had physics, that's where it started."
(12) Photograph: credit: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Drought and erratic rainfall caused less carbon to be stored by parched forests and drylands, on top of the effect of fossil fuel emissions, Noaa said.
(13) The oil spill modelling was conducted by an oceanographer, Laurent Lebreton, and was peer-reviewed by Matthias Tomczak, emeritus professor of oceanography at Flinders University.
(14) Two CO2 monitoring stations high on the Hawaiian volcano of Mauna Loa are run by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and provide the global benchmark measurement.
(15) The past decade has seen the development of small submersibles as a new and effective tool of geology, acoustics, marine biology, and physical oceanography.
(16) On 11 October, two French oceanography students, their faces wind-beaten and sun-scorched, arrived in Istanbul after a 14-month journey from Gibraltar.
(17) The enlargement of the canal will increase the number of invasions from the Red Sea resulting in a diverse range of harmful effects on the ecosystem structure and functioning of the whole Mediterranean sea, with implications to services it provides for humans,” Bella Galil , a marine biologist at Israel’s National Institute of Oceanography, told the Guardian.
(18) "This is the part that's really exciting, for me: people will understand that we know almost nothing about a lot of these places, and Google will do it for us," said David Sandwell, professor of geophysics at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, at the University of California, San Diego.
(19) If the current remains as weak as it is, temperatures in Britain are likely to drop by an average of 1C in the next decade, according to Harry Bryden at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton who led the study.
(20) While scientists like José Iglesias Estévez from the Spanish Institute of Oceanography refer to octopus “an ideal mass-produced food”, farming octopus and their close relatives would be a big mistake.
