AGU Chapman Conference on Detachments in Oceanic Lithosphere: Deformation, Magmatism, Fluid Flow, and Ecosystems [ May 8, 2010 to May 16, 2010. ] Oceanic core complexes (OCCs) are deep sections of the oceanic lithosphere exhumed to the seafloor by long-lived detachment faults formed along the flanks of ultra-slow to intermediate-spreading mid-ocean ridges.

The MoHole: A Crustal Journey and Mantle Quest [ June 3, 2010 to June 5, 2010. ] The 2010 MoHole workshop follows several recent scientific planning meetings on scientific drilling in the ocean lithosphere, in particular the "Mission Moho" workshop in 2006, and the "Melting, Magma, Fluids and Life" workshop in 2009.

Registration Now Open For Small Sea Changes: BIG California Impacts Workshop Interagency Group to host workshop that explores how monitoring and understanding the ocean delivers economic and environmental benefits to industries, government, and citizens of California.

Research Faculty Position in Sea Ice Modeling, Monterey, CA The Department of Oceanography at the Naval Postgraduate School invites applications for an Assistant Research Professor position in the area of sea ice modeling and ice-ocean-atmosphere interaction.

Interagency Call for Proposals - Ecosystems and Climate Change Impacts This interagency solicitation for research and application proposals is an opportunity to fund science to answer questions and provide tools for addressing climate change impacts to the habitats we protect and restore.

The Census of Marine Life: Photo of the Week - Antarctic Ice Fish The Antarctic ice fish does not have red blood pigments (hemoglobin) nor red blood cells. This is an adaptation to the low temperature. The blood becomes more fluid, as a consequence, the animals saves energy to pump blood through their body.

ONW: Week of March 8, 2010 - Number 83 The staff here at Ocean Leadership works hard to make certain that each week we provide you with the most useful and timely information regarding our efforts, activities of the community, news from Capitol Hill, and all opportunities, jobs and internships that we feel you might find beneficial.

Antarctica Once had Tropical Climate, Scientists Say An international team of scientists who have arrived back in Hobart from Antarctica say they have evidence the icy continent once had a tropical climate.

Impacts of Changing Climate on Ocean Biology A three-year field program now underway is measuring carbon distributions and primary productivity in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean to help scientists worldwide determine the impacts of a changing climate on ocean biology and biogeochemistry.

Research: Barnacles Prefer Upwelling Currents, Enriching Food Chains In The Galapagos There's been a rich debate in marine ecological circles about what happens to a key food source along rocky coastlines dominated by upwelling.

Hurricane Forecasters Bring Preparedness Message to Atlantic, Mexico and Caribbean NOAA and the U.S. Air Force Reserve will host a series of public events from March 18 to 27 in six coastal communities in Bermuda, Mexico and the Caribbean to urge residents to prepare for the upcoming hurricane seaso
