Application of Fluorescence Spectroscopy in Chemical Oceanography: Tracing Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) Erika Mae A. Espejo 3rd year‚ BS Chemistry‚ University of the Philippines‚ Diliman Abstract Dissolved organic matter (DOM)‚ the fraction passing through a 0.45 µm membrane filter‚ is considered poorly understood mixture of organic polymers because of its complexity. Although it largely influences a lot of biogeochemical processes in aquatic environments‚ its characterization is not

Marine Careers Marine biology is the field of knowledge relating to any kind of marine organism‚ dolphins‚ whales‚ sharks‚ seals‚ plankton‚ etc. But what is a marine biologist? Well to a lot of people‚ the first thing they think of is Shamu and training dolphins but to others it means managing a marine wildlife sanctuary. There are multiple answers to this question and none of them are wrong answers‚ but to me a marine biologist is someone who has anything to do with the marine life‚ whether it

Young’s response to the director should be as follows: She should accept the full responsibility for the project mismanagement‚ apologize to all members‚ and avoid responding defensively to everyone’s complaints and frustration. She should admit that the project is experiencing more issues than it was anticipated. However‚ she should assure the director and the staff that the issues are manageable and clearly explain how she will respond to the issues and propose the plan of actions she will implement

Geography Describe and explain oceanic circulation and discuss its role in climate and weather. (25) Mass flows of water‚ or currents‚ are essential to understanding how heat energy moves between the Earth’s water bodies‚ landmasses‚ and atmosphere. The ocean covers 71 percent of the planet and holds 97 percent of its water‚ making the ocean a key factor in the storage and transfer of heat energy across the globe. The movement of this heat through local and global ocean currents affects the
