Ocean - An ocean is a body of water that composes

much of a planet's hydrosphere.

- The oceans hold about 321 million cubic

miles (1.34 billion cubic kilometers) of - Submersibles – Over the last few decades,
water, which is roughly 97 percent of engineers have developed submersible
Earth's water supply. technologies capable of meeting the many
challenges that the deep sea imposes upon
Oceanography – is an interdisciplinary science
integrating the fields of geology, biology, chemistry,
physics, and engineering to explore the ocean.

- is the study of all aspects of the ocean.

Oceanography covers a wide range of
topics, from marine life and ecosystems, to
currents and waves, to the movement of
sediments, to seafloor geology.

explorers, allowing us to dive to depths
where utter darkness, crushing pressures,
and extreme cold temperatures prohibit
SCUBA operations. Submersibles alone
enable us to explore the abyssal depths.
Example: Bathyscaphe Trieste

Trieste is a Swiss-designed, Italian-built

deep-diving research bathyscaphe, which with
its crew of two reached a record maximum
depth of about 10,911 metres, in the deepest
known part of the Earth's oceans, the
Challenger Deep, in the Mariana Trench near
Guam in the Pacific

- Vessels – Vessels are arguably the most
critical element in any ocean-going venture.
Once a ship leaves the safety of its dock, it
is an island unto itself on the open seas, its
crew at the mercy of the waves. Any ship,
from a 15-foot sailboat to a 1,500-foot
tanker, must carry all of the food, water,
fuel, and equipment that its crew will need
to live safely for the duration of the
journey.

o Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler -
The Acoustic Doppler Current
Profiler (ADCP) measures the speed
and direction of ocean currents
using the principle of “Doppler
shift.”
Ranging—SONAR—is used to find
 and identify objects in water. It is
also used to determine water depth
(bathymetry). Sonar is applied to
water-based activities because
sound waves attenuate (taper off)
less in water as they travel than do
radar and light waves.
able to withstand the roughest sea
conditions and yet generate a reasonable
amount of power from small waves.

o Aquarius - an undersea laboratory
and home for scientists studying
the marine environment that is
owned and operated by Florida
International University (FIU). The
underwater habitat currently sits in
about 60 feet of water, 4.5
kilometers offshore of Key Largo,
Florida, on a sand patch adjacent to
deep coral reefs in the Florida Keys
National Marine Sanctuary.

Energy from Temperature - Ocean Thermal
Energy Conversion (OTEC) utilizes the
temperature difference between the warm
surface sea water and cold deep ocean
water to generate electricity. As long as a
sufficient temperature difference (20°C or
68°F) exists between the warm upper layer
of water and the cold deep water, net
power can be generated.

Energy from the Ocean

Energy from Tides - power is generated from tides in a

manner similar to hydroelectric power plants.

Energy from Waves - Wave energy generation devices

fall into two general classifications: fixed and floating.
Fixed generating devices, which are mounted either to
the seabed or shore.

- The Oscillating Water Column, a fixed

device built on shore, generates electricity
in a two-step process. As a wave enters and
leaves the column, the water in the column
rises and falls, which in turn forces air back
and forth through a turbine at the top of
the column. This is a very simple device, but
it is difficult to build and anchor so that it is
