Ho fetolela ho potlaka ho theknoloji

Ka Mark J. Spalding, Mopresidente, The Ocean Foundation

Ka la 25 Loetse 2014 ke ile ka ea ketsahalong ea Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health X-Prize ho Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) Monterey, California.
Moputso oa hajoale oa Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health X-Moputso ke tlholisano ea lefats'e ea $ 2 milione e phephetsang lihlopha ho theha theknoloji ea sensor ea pH e tla khona ho lekanya k'hemistri ea leoatle ka mokhoa o nepahetseng, ka nepo le ka nepo - eseng feela hobane leoatle le na le asiti ea 30% ho feta qalong ea phetohelo ea indasteri, empa hobane re boetse rea tseba hore acidization ea leoatle e ka phahama libakeng tse fapaneng tsa leoatle ka linako tse fapaneng. Liphetoho tsena li bolela hore re hloka tlhahlobo e eketsehileng, lintlha tse ngata ho thusa baahi ba lebōpong la leoatle le lichaba tsa lihlekehlekeng ho arabela liphellong tsa acidification ea leoatle holim'a tšireletso ea lijo le botsitso ba moruo. Ho na le meputso e 'meli: moputso oa $ 1,000,000 oa Ho nepahala - ho hlahisa pH sensor e nepahetseng ka ho fetisisa, e tsitsitseng le e nepahetseng; le moputso oa $ 1,000,000 Affordability - ho hlahisa mochine o theko e tlaase, o bonolo ho o sebelisa, o nepahetseng, o tsitsitseng le o nepahetseng oa pH.

Ba kentseng lihlopha tse 18 tsa Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health X-Prize ba tsoa linaheng tse tšeletseng le literekeng tse 11 tsa US; le ho emela likolo tse ngata tse holimo tsa lefatše tsa thuto ea maoatle. Ho phaella moo, sehlopha sa bacha ba tsoang Seaside, California se ile sa khaola (lihlopha tse 77 li ile tsa kenya letsoho, ho ile ha khethoa tse 18 feela hore li hlōlisane). Merero ea lihlopha e se e ntse e etsa tlhahlobo ea lab ho Oceanology International e London, 'me e se e le tsamaisong ea litanka e laoloang ka nako e ka etsang likhoeli tse tharo tsa tlhahlobo ea ho lumellana ha ho bala ho MBARI e Monterey.

Ka mor'a moo, ba tla fallisetsoa Puget Sound e Pacific Northwest bakeng sa likhoeli tse ka bang 'nè tsa tlhahlobo ea sebele ea lefatše. Ka mor'a moo, ho tla ba le liteko tsa leoatle le tebileng (bakeng sa lisebelisoa tse etsang hore li fihle ho qetela). Liteko tsena tsa ho qetela li tla etsoa ka sekepe ho tsoa Hawaii 'me li etsoe ka botebo ba limithara tse 3000 (kapa ka tlase ho 1.9 miles). Sepheo sa tlhōlisano ke ho fumana lisebelisoa tse nepahetseng haholo, hammoho le mokhoa o bonolo oa ho sebelisa le o theko e tlaase ho o sebelisa. 'Me, e, hoa khoneha ho hapa likhau ka bobeli.

Teko ea laborateng, tanka ea MBARI, Pacific Northwest, le Hawaii e reretsoe ho netefatsa theknoloji eo lihlopha tse 18 li ntseng li e ntlafatsa. Ba kenelletseng/bahlolisani le bona ba thusoa ka ho aha bokhoni ba ho hokahana le likhoebo le khokahano ea khau ea kamora moputso le indasteri. Qetellong sena se tla kenyelletsa khokahano e tobileng ho batseteli ba ka bang teng ho isa lihlahisoa tsa sensor tse hapileng 'marakeng.

Ho na le palo ea bareki ba lik'hamphani tsa theknoloji le ba bang ba thahasellang theknoloji ho kenyeletsa Teledyne, litsi tsa lipatlisiso, United States Geological Survey, hammoho le lik'hamphani tse hlahlobang libaka tsa oli le khase (bakeng sa ho batla ho lutla). Ho hlakile hore e tla ba ea bohlokoa bakeng sa indasteri ea likhofu le indasteri ea lihlapi tse tšoasitsoeng naheng hobane pH kaofela e bohlokoa bophelong ba bona.

Sepheo sa moputso ka kakaretso ke ho fumana lisensara tse betere le tse sa tureng e le ho holisa phihlello ea sebaka sa ho beha leihlo le ho kenyelletsa libaka tse tebileng tsa leoatle le libaka tse feteletseng tsa lefatše. Ho hlakile hore ke boitlamo bo boholo ho logistics ho leka lisebelisoa tsena kaofela mme ho tla ba monate ho bona sephetho. Rona ba The Ocean Foundation re na le tšepo ea hore likhothatso tsena tse potlakileng tsa nts'etsopele ea mahlale li tla lumella Metsoalle ea rona ea Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network ho fumana li-sensor tse theko e tlaase le tse nepahetseng ho atolosa tšireletso ea marang-rang ao a machaba le ho theha motheo oa tsebo bakeng sa ho hlahisa likarabo tse nakong le ho fokotsa matla. maano.

Bo-ramahlale ba 'maloa (ho tloha MBARI, UC Santa Cruz, Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station, le Monterey Bay Aquarium) ketsahalong eo ba hlokometse hore asiti ea leoatle e tšoana le meteor e lebileng lefatšeng. Re ke ke ra khona ho lieha ho nka khato ho fihlela lithuto tsa nako e telele li phethiloe le ho romelloa likoranteng tse hlahlobiloeng ke lithaka hore qetellong li phatlalatsoe. Re hloka ho potlakisa lebelo la lipatlisiso ha re tobane le ntlha e holimo ka har'a leoatle la rona. Wendy Schmidt, Julie Packard oa Monterey Bay Aquarium le Moemeli oa US Sam Farr ba tiisitse ntlha ena ea bohlokoa. Moputso ona oa X oa leoatle o lebelletsoe ho hlahisa tharollo e potlakileng.

Moputso ona o reretsoe ho khothaletsa boqapi. Re hloka khatelo-pele e thusang ho arabela bothateng bo potlakileng ba asiti ea leoatle, ka mefuta eohle ea eona le menyetla ea tharollo ea lehae-haeba re tseba hore e ea etsahala. Moputso ka tsela e itseng ke mokhoa oa ho fumana litharollo tsa letšoele la phephetso ea ho lekanya hore na khemistri ea leoatle e fetoha hokae le hore na ke bokae. "Ka mantsoe a mang, re batla phaello e ntle ho tsetelo," ho boletse Wendy Schmidt. Ho na le tšepo ea hore moputso ona o tla ba le bahlōli ba oona ka Phupu 2015.

'Me, haufinyane ho tla ba le likhau tse ling tse tharo tsa X tsa bophelo bo botle ba leoatle tse tlang. Ha re ntse re le karolo ea "Ocean Big Think" litharollo tsa litharollo tsa lithupelo ho X-Prize Foundation ka Phuptjane e fetileng Los Angeles, ho tla ba monate ho bona hore na sehlopha sa X-Prize Foundation se khetha ho khothaletsa eng ka mor'a moo.
