Iron-dumping ocean experiment sparks controversy

Land Based Alternatives to Ocean Dumping

The Southern Ocean Iron RElease Experiment (SOIREE)* introduction and summary

This volume is dedicated to the Southern Ocean Iron RElease Experiment (SOIREE), the "rst in situ iron fertilisation experiment performed in the polar waters of the Southern Ocean. SOIREEwas an interdisciplinary study involving participants from six countries, and took place in February 1999 south of the Polar Front in the Australasian-Paci"c sector of the Southern Ocean. Approximately 3800kg o...

Ocean Acoustic Interferometry Experiment

Ocean acoustic interferometry (OAI) is a technique which relates the cross-correlations from a line of active sources to two receivers within a waveguide, and the time domain Green’s function between said receivers. Within this paper, three specific OAI source geometries are briefly introduced and explained. Experimental OAI data were collected during the SW06 (Shallow Water ’06) sea trials dur...

An experiment on a core controversy

A longstanding criticism of the core is that it is too sensitive to small changes in player numbers, as in a well known example where one extra seller (resp. buyer) causes the entire surplus to go to the buyer’s (seller’s) side. We test this example in the lab, using several different trading institutions. We find that successful collusion is relatively infrequent and decreasing over time even ...

Remote sensing observations of ocean physical and biological properties in the region of the Southern Ocean Iron Experiment (SOFeX)

[1] Satellite remote sensing estimates of surface chlorophyll, temperature, wind speed, and sea ice cover are examined in the region of the Southern Ocean Iron Experiment (SOFeX). Our objectives are to place SOFeX into a regional context and highlight regional mesoscale spatial and monthly temporal variability. SOFeX fertilized two patches with iron, one south of the Antarctic Polar Front (PF) ...
