1 Julie Morris Division of Ocean Sciences National Science Foundation Integrated Ocean Observing System and Ocean Observatories Initiative: The Role of Industry August 6, 2007

2 Regional Cyberinfrastructure Coastal Global Ø24/7 power and bandwidth to the seafloor ØInteractive ØIntegrated at multiple scales ØReconfigurable network

3 Now is the Time: : The nexus is the major advances in other fields that are transforming environmental sciences. Ø Telecommunications Ø Computer Sciences Ø Genomics Ø Robotics Ø Information Technologies Ø Sensor Networks Science and technology evolving together allow for advances that neither one could accomplish in isolation.

4 Scientific Rationale Ø Importance of microbial activity in the ocean and in the sub-seafloor biosphere (CSO, RCO) Ø Impact of climate change and human activity on coastal ecosystems (CSO, RCO) Ø Impact of storms on exchanges of heat, gases and nutrients (GSO, CSO, RCO) Ø Ocean s role in storing anthropogenic carbon; impact of increased atmospheric CO 2 on ocean chemistry and ecosystems (GSO, CSO, RCO) Ø Processes controlling the size and frequency of earthquakes (GSO, RCO)
