Wealth of the Oceans
نویسنده
چکیده
Owing to the increasing population, the disparity of natural resources distribution and the variation of climate around the world, there are energy-water-food nexus problems in some countries in the world. It is the objective of the current work to point to the wealth of the oceans as a resource to find all three components. Aquaculture for deep water should also be investigated, and coastal aquaculture expanded. Wind and water technologies for generating electricity or other forms of transportable/storable forms of energy should be researched and developed to a much greater extent. The cost of desalination for potable water should be driven down so that many more countries could afford it. Other pressing reasons for looking to use the oceans more are discussed in this review.

In this paper an artificial society is being assumed as a multi agents system. A sugarscape model consisting of a cellular landscape of resources is used to form an interaction among the agents of the population. In the model, agents find the resources to survive. They are supposed to move and search and because of this movement, an evolutionary social behavior will develope. From model analys...

متن کاملGoing Deep: Cautious Steps toward Seabed Mining
The ocean floor is home to a wealth of species, some of which—such as this bamboo coral (Isidella tentaculum)—have only recently been discovered. Proponents of seabed mining claim it causes less ecological damage than terrestrial extraction. But some researchers are concerned that seabed mining could overwhelm deep-sea ecosystems, adding to concerns about the health of the oceans.
متن کاملImpact of Ocean-Land Mixed Propagation Path on Equivalent Circuit of Grounding Rods
In this paper, the effect of ocean-land mixed propagation path on the lightning performance of grounding rods is investigated. This effect is focused on two problems. The first is extracting exact equivalent circuit of grounding rods in the presence of oceans. The equivalent circuit can be used in transient analysis of power systems in the neighboring oceans. In the second one, this effect on t...
