Fishermen want to know how offshore wind farms will impact the ocean's ecosystem and their businesses. While some studies give optimistic outlooks, definitive impacts remain to be seen.
The East China Sea (ECS) is featured by the broad continental shelf, huge terrigenous sediment input and striking river-sea interaction during the Quaternary. Despite the numerous studies, mostly on the delta, coastal and inner shelf areas, the late Quaternary stratigraphy and sedimentary environment on the mid-outer ECS shelf were poorly documented. In particular, it is still controversial in issues such as the recognition of marine transgression deposits in the interglacial period and the occurrence and ages of deposits in the glacial period. This study presents new data of high-resolution seismic reflection profiles and collective evidences from lithology, microfossil assemblages and geochronology of borehole SFK-1 on the ECS outer shelf, aiming to revisit the sedimentary stratigraphic evolution and environmental changes since the Marine Isotopic Stage 5 (MIS5). Sixty-one ages were obtained by radiocarbon and Optical Stimulation Luminescence (OSL), providing robust constraints on th
major setback for egypt. who is running the country? the constitution was ruled invalid today in egypt, and said that anyone elected under it has to go. egypt s military rulers took over all of the legislative pow, and it is already a tense time politically as the egyptian voters will choose a president in a runoff election this weekend. and the prosecutors in the jerry sandusky child molestation trial will wrap up the case today. one of the victims is an alleged victim whose mother called authorities after her son told her that he had showered with sandusky. he is accused of abusing ten boys in a ten-year period. this aircraft went down yesterday, and all five crew members are not injured, and the osprey s safety has been questioned since 2005. a man accused of a shooting spree in auburn university is accused of three murders and two assault counts. you can see desmonte leonard at his court appearance this morning. the funerals for the two killed will take place saturday
saying they raised the bar pretty high. reporter: they have but they expect deep water drilling in the gulf of mexico to resume before year s end. rig operators must demonstrate in advance they can handle a blowout like the one that kurd april that occurred in april. there will be new inspection requirements and independent third party reviews of the designs for blow out preventsers and new standards for well design and casing and cement which must be certified by a professional engineer. companies and some rigs that will come into compliance and will move forward for the permitting process and we will soon have a deep water drilling resuming in the outer shelf in the gulf. there are others that may take longer for them to come into compliance with the regulations.
states is acting up again. this time alaska. asking for an injunction, not over health care or illegal immigration. good evening sir you are asking for a petition for review and request for injunctive rela leaf against the federal government what relief against the federal government what is up? moratorium on the outer shelf drilling has been extended to alaska. secretary salazar was here last week and in his comments to the press, he was very clear that the moratorium in his words does apply to alas chasm the outer continental shelf lands access before you do that you ve got to consult with the governor. give the state notice and opportunity to comment. some of the basic due process rights.
