Ocean experiment is put on hold

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...

When lives are put on hold: Lengthy asylum processes decrease employment among refugees

European governments are struggling with the biggest refugee crisis since World War II, but there exists little evidence regarding how the management of the asylum process affects the subsequent integration of refugees in the host country. We provide new causal evidence about how one central policy parameter, the length of time that refugees wait in limbo for a decision on their asylum claim, a...

Animal Rights Consideration is a Necessity in Conducting an Experiment

Update on the International Experiment on Co2 Ocean Sequestration

The specific objective of our project on CO2 ocean sequestration is to investigate its technical feasibility and to improve the understanding of any associated environmental impacts. Our ultimate goal is to minimize any impacts associated with the eventual use of ocean carbon sequestration to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. The project will continue through March 31, 200...

Ocean Seismic Network Pilot Experiment

[1] The primary goal of the Ocean Seismic Network Pilot Experiment (OSNPE) was to learn how to make high quality broadband seismic measurements on the ocean bottom in preparation for a permanent ocean seismic network. The experiment also had implications for the development of a capability for temporary (e.g., 1 year duration) seismic experiments on the ocean floor. Equipment for installing, op...
