C7.03: Second International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2) - emerging scien...Blue Planet Symposium
The International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE) of 1959-65 left an important oceanographic legacy. Five decades on, both IOC and SCOR, together with IOGOOS, SIBER and others, are stimulating a modern phase of co-ordinated international research and applications for the Indian Ocean, namely, IIOE-2: 2016-2020. The planned research, guided by science priorities developed through a SCOR science plan development committee, is ambitious and broad and focusses on six themes. These are human impacts on the Indian Ocean; boundary current dynamics and upwelling; monsoon variability and ecosystem response; circulation, climate variability and change; extreme events and associated ecosystem responses and impacts; and discovery of unique physical, geological, biogeochemical and ecological features of the Indian Ocean. The IIOE-2 will forge new international scientific research programs with far-reaching benefits for, and beyond, the Indian Ocean. It will provide a rich framework of data, process understanding and input to oceanographic, climate, bio-geochemical and ecosystem modelling through open ocean science but will have strong links to continental shelf and coastal systems and coupled climatic phenomena affecting society. The transfer of knowledge, capacity building and tangible outputs for societal application and benefit are key pursuits. Since 2011, in support of the IIOE-2, there have been several internationally supported reference group meetings and national planning efforts. The IOC Assembly of 147 Member States is formally considering science and complementary plans for IIOE-2, as well as governance and timeframes for implementation through an IOC-constituted IIOE-2 Interim Planning Committee (Group of Experts). This presentation will report on the status of planning for IIOE-2, including the evolving frameworks for significant matters such as the science, data/information management, capacity building, and also the developing governance framework.
This document discusses geoconservation and geodiversity. It defines geoconservation as action taken to conserve geological and geomorphological features. Geodiversity comprises the natural range of geological features and processes.
The UK has a remarkable diversity of rock types and geological processes within a small area. While protection of ecology, landscape, and archaeology is now mainstream, geological conservation is rarely considered in planning except for iconic sites under threat. A hierarchy of organizations are involved in geoconservation at international, national, and local levels.
The document argues professionals have an ethical duty to support geoconservation due to requirements of their institutions. Geoconservation activities also provide opportunities for networking, graduate recruitment, and continuing professional development
The document investigates the exposure of drillers to natural radioactivity in Abuja, Nigeria. Rock samples were collected from two borehole sites at different depths and layers. Neutron activation analysis was used to determine the concentrations of radioactive elements like uranium and thorium in the samples. The results showed elevated levels of uranium and thorium above global averages, posing potential health risks to drillers if exposed over long periods without protection. The study concludes drillers should be aware of subsurface geology and take necessary precautions when drilling to avoid overexposure to radiation.
The document provides information about upcoming and past activities of the Geology Department, including:
- An announcement for the Geology Day event next month featuring presentations on environmental and engineering geology topics related to the UAE.

Now-a-days the field of Remote Sensing and GIS has become exciting and glamorous with rapidly expanding opportunities. Many organizations spend large amounts of money on these fields. Here the question arises why these fields are so important in recent years. Two main reasons are there behind this. 1) Now-a-days scientists, researchers, students, and even common people are showing great interest for better understanding of our environment. By environment we mean the geographic space of their study area and the events that take place there. In other words, we have come to realize that geographic space along with the data describing it, is part of our everyday world; almost every decision we take is influenced or dictated by some fact of geography. 2) Advancement in sophisticated space technology (which can provide large volume of spatial data), along with declining costs of computer hardware and software (which can handle these data) has made Remote Sensing and G.I.S. affordable to not only complex environmental / spatial situation but also affordable to an increasingly wider audience.

The document discusses the challenges of long-duration human spaceflight and the need to understand human health risks over periods of 1000 days in space. The NASA Human Research Program aims to provide countermeasures, knowledge, and tools to enable safe space exploration by minimizing risks to human health and performance from hazards like altered gravity, isolation, closed environments, and distance from Earth. While six-month ISS missions provide some data, longer missions are needed to assess physiological and behavioral changes over time and validate countermeasures for medical conditions, deconditioning, and performance issues over multi-year missions like a journey to Mars.

Major tsunamis in 2004, 2010, and 2011 provided data on structural performance and highlighted loading mechanisms like debris impact, uplift, and overturning that need consideration in resilient design.
ILOA Galaxy Forum Europe 2013 - human missions to europa and titan - hugh hillILOAHawaii
This document outlines a proposal for human missions to Europa and Titan by 2070. It discusses why these celestial bodies should be explored, namely the possibility of finding life in their oceans and understanding physical processes. Some key technical challenges are advanced propulsion, nuclear power, life support systems, and utilizing in-situ resources. International cooperation would likely be required due to high costs, and modifications to existing space law may be needed. Ethical considerations around risks, planetary protection, and crew issues would also need to be addressed. The proposal estimates a total mission cost of $220-470 billion using analogy methods from Apollo. A specific mission concept called METTLE is introduced, involving a nuclear-powered spacecraft and hydrobot for subsurface Europa

- The climate about 10,000 years ago was very different from the present climate, as it was much cooler globally during the last glacial period which ended around 10,000-12,000 years ago.
- Climate archives provide evidence that the Earth has cycled between cold and warm periods and is currently in an interglacial warm period with rising sea levels.
- Tree rings, ice cores, corals, and lake sediments are climate archives that can be studied to learn about past climates over the last 10,000 years.
The document is the final report from Team ASTRA of the International Space University's 2010 Space Studies Program. It details the team's conclusions and recommendations regarding the feasibility and challenges of commercial asteroid mining. The team developed several mission architectures for asteroid mining, performed a trade study to select the preferred option, and used this to create a roadmap for achieving asteroid mining. The report recommends a robotic precursor mission to gather information on a target asteroid and advance technologies to the level required for full-scale mining operations.
The article discusses the Miocene carbonate-siliciclastic deposits exposed along sections of the Sirte Basin in northwest Libya. Three stratigraphic sections were studied that showed two main rock units representing shallow marine deposits with some deep marine influences. Detailed analysis identified three foraminifera zones covering the lower Al Faidiyah Formation, indicating deposition in a shallow marine to inner neritic environment during the Miocene.

In conclusion, the student completes the objectives of logging the core and identifying its main rock units.
This document discusses the role of biostratigraphy in petroleum exploration and production in Indonesia and highlights some controversies. It provides examples of how biostratigraphy has been used successfully in Indonesia to analyze basin evolution and depositional environments in areas like the Makassar Straits and Buton Island. However, it notes that interest in biostratigraphy is declining as few students choose it as a field of study and oil companies have closed their in-house paleontology labs. This has led to reluctance in its application despite it being a critical tool. Suggestions to address this include conducting more geologic studies using microfossils, improving biostratigraphy education, and publishing works to demonstrate its importance.
The document summarizes research conducted by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory between 2008-2010.

12. PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES - AS PROJECT LEADER.
1. Geological characterization of the Vaalputs Radioactive Waste
Disposal Facility.
The geology of the Vaalputs site appears, at first sight, quite simple: that
comprises dunes of red, aeolian sands spread over a layer of Tertiary
clays overlying granites of great stability and antiquity. Despite its
appearance, there is now documented evidence that the geological
evolution of the Vaalputs property, from 1000 million years to less than 10
thousand years cannot be conclusively documented other than its general
4. 4
outlines. Key outstanding issues include a) the age, mineralogy and
structure of the sediments holding the radioactive waste drums; b) the
nature of some major climatic turnovers that deeply affected Vaalputs
between 70,000 and 60,000 years, and probably more recently too; c) the
origin of the sporadic releases of natural radionuclides from the granites
into the water table; and d) the development of the present day sand
surface with its palimpsest textures. These issues are likely to remain
unexplained until Necsa or the recently established Radioactive Waste
Disposal Agency will restart a research program under an experienced
staff scientist. It is expected that some papers, even as conference
abstracts, will be published on at least few of the issues mentioned above.
Principal Partners: Dr. Cathy Dowding-Clarke (University of
Stellenbosch); Prof. Jan Kramers (University of Johannesburg), Ms. Mary
Evans (University of the Witwatersrand).
2. Tectonic Stress and Neotectonics.
Aim of this collaboration is map out the present day strike slip stress field
in South Africa to assist present and future seismic hazard assessments
as they may be required by the proposed South African nuclear build
program, including the safe management of the radioactive waste. The
collaboration is also intended to promote safety in mining and large civil
engineering projects where knowledge of the regional, virgin stress fields
of bedrock may be desirable. The initiative feeds much needed regional
data to the World Stress Map (WSM), a global and open access
compilation of information on the present-day stress field of the Earth's
crust, also aimed to understand the stress sources. Palaeostress analysis
is a key component of this project, because: 1, it is now apparent that the
tectonic stress changes in orientation and strength over time and 2, there
is no explanation for the current stress orientation in western South Africa.
As such, the past may provide a hint to what is happening at the centre.
Principal Partners: Prof.s A. Bumby (University of Pretoria), R. Durrheim
(CSIR/University of the Witwatersrand), O. Heidbach (GFZ-Potsdam,
Germany).
13. ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
The incumbent remains project leader and coordinator in a number of more
academic research collaborations, on a variety of subjects listed below. Each of
these collaborations has resulted in a number of papers published in refereed,
often high profile Journals (see list below). The main Consortia are the following:
3. Hypatia ‘Palaeo-Comet’ Collaboration
Aim of this project is to characterize the mineralogy and geochemistry
of the first known hand-specimen of what appears to be material from
5. 5
distant realms of the solar system, which apparently escaped the
thermal events that shaped the better known meteoritic record. Four
papers have been published or are in press, and more are being written
or planned, as the fragments available to Dr. Andreoli are not only
different from anything seen before, but are larger by several orders of
magnitude than the debris sampled by NASA with its 1999-20111, 12
years STARDUST mission to comet WILD-2.
Principal Partners. Profs. J. Kramers (Univ. Johannesburg), D. Block,
M. Bamford (University of the Witwatersrand), B Marty (Univ. Nancy)
and Dr. S. Piazolo (Macquarie Univ.).
4. Steenkampskraal Thorium Collaboration
There is a growing interest among a significant number of IAEA
member nations to the use of thorium as a nuclear fuel as an alternative
to uranium. The Steenkampskraal monazite mine in the Western Cape
was world-leading thorium producer in the 1950s and early 19760s, and
it may be reopened once again in the future as co-producer of thorium
and the Rare Earth Elements. Dr. Andreoli has studied this deposit for
more than 30 years, being an authority on the geology of this still
controversial type of mineralization. As a natural analogue of high level
waste, the deposit is also of great interest for those investigating the
ceramic-based immobilization of uranium and the transuranic elements.
Principal Partners: Dr. D. Harlov (GFZ – Helmholtz Centre Potsdam),
5. Morokweng Impact crater. First discovered by the project leader in
1991 while working for Necsa, this 145 Ma old impact crater, located
northwest of Vryburg (North West Province) may rank among the
largest structures of this kind in the terrestrial record. The consortium is
dedicated to address the a number of unresolved issues, including a,
final diameter and tectonic structure of the Impact crater; b, petrology
and chemical stratigraphy of the impact melt sheet; c, chronology,
petrogenesis of the spatially associated dykes; d, age and
characteristics of the mid crust exposed by the central uplift; and e,
economic mineral potential of the melt sheet (PGE, Ni).
Principal Partners: Prof. R Gibson (Wits Geoscience) and a M Sc
student; Dr S Misra (Univ KZN Geology Dept.) assisted by collaborators
at his institution, in India and the UK.
