For the first time, oceanographers now have the ability to view the global distribution of photosynthetic organisms in the world's oceans from space. The CZCS global data sets lay the scientific foundations for new generations of satellite ocean color sensors and have formed a cornerstone for international efforts to understand the ocean's role in the global carbon cycle. Some of her work is listed at this web site. Oceanography from the Space Shuttle - Oceanography from the Space Shuttle is a pictorial survey of oceanic phenomenon visible to the naked eye from space. Originally published in 1989, it is now out of print and only available on this web site.
Thumbnail images give a preview of each chapter's photographs.
The destructive properties of tropospheric ozone are also presented. Diagrams and animation sequences are used to visually depict the delicate structure of the ozone molecule and the chemical reactions involved in its formation and destruction. Ozone destroying pollutants were first identified in 1973. Since that time there has been a considerable amount of controversy surrounding the subject of ozone depletion. More than 20 years of ozone-related scientific studies, international meetings, and global industrial agreements are summarized in the last section of this site.
