Possible Future Directions for Oceanographic Research in India
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Chemistry and Environment (IJRCE) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Human activities during that past two centuries have altered our environmental significantly. While much of the observed change in the mean annual global surface temperature during the last century could be explained by variations in the solar activity, the record after the seventies could be explained by climate models only if the anthropogenic perturbation of the atmosphere by fossil fuel combustion is taken into account (IPCC AR$, 2007). The anticipated changes in the next decade include not only increasing terrestrial and ocean surface temperatures, but also ocean acidification and stratification of the Ocean. Therefore it is quite likely that most research in Oceanography in the next decade would be broadly in the area of Global Change and its consequences for humans, flora and fauna. Most oceanographic research to date pertains to the surface ocean which is well lit by the Sun or to benthic organisms that have been seen by dredging and coring the sea floor. We are just beginning to know about the organisms in the deep ocean after the developments of remotely operated vehicles and underwater instruments
