Ukusuka kwi-macro ukuya kwi-micro

Kwiveki ephelileyo, bendiseNewport Beach, CA apho besibambe iWorkshop yethu yaminyaka le yaseSouthern California Marine Mammal, echaza uphando olwenziwa kwi-Southern California Bight kunyaka ophelileyo. Lo ngunyaka wethu we-3rd wokuxhasa le ntlanganiso (ngombulelo kwi-Pacific Life Foundation) kwaye yintlanganiso eyodwa ekugxilwe kuyo kwijografi, kwaye kukuba i-multi-disciplinary. Siyazingca kakhulu nge-pollination enqamlezayo evela ekuhlanganiseni i-acousticians, imfuzo, i-biology, kunye nenzululwazi yokuziphatha, kunye nokuhlangula kunye nokubuyisela iingcali zonyango lwezilwanyana.

Kulo nyaka, bangaphezulu kwe-100 izazinzulu, abafundi bebanga leshumi kunye nomlobi omnye obhalisiweyo. Ngesizathu esingaqondakaliyo unyaka ngamnye abafundi begrad baye bancinci, kwaye oonjingalwazi bayaba badala. Kwaye, xa ubukhulu becala iphondo lamadoda amhlophe, intsimi yophando lwezilwanyana ezanyisayo zaselwandle kunye nokuhlangula iyahlukahlukana ngonyaka ngamnye.

Intlanganiso yalo nyaka ibandakanya:
-Intsebenziswano phakathi kweenqwelo zokuloba kunye nezilwanyana ezanyisayo zaselwandle, kunye nesidingo sentsebenziswano ngakumbi kunye nonxibelelwano phakathi kwabaphandi bezilwanyana ezanyisayo zaselwandle kunye nabalobi
-Uqeqesho kusetyenziso kunye nezibonelelo zokuchongwa kweefoto, kunye nokujongwa kwe-acoustic
-Iphaneli malunga nokuguquguquka kwemozulu, kunye neendlela eyongeza ngayo uxinzelelo lwezilwanyana zaselwandle kunye nezinto ezininzi ezintsha ezingaziwayo kwabo bazifundayo:
+ iilwandle ezishushu (ezichaphazela ukufuduka kwezilwanyana ezincancisayo/ixhoba, utshintsho lwephenological kwixhoba, kunye nomngcipheko okhulayo wesifo),
+ ukunyuka komphakamo wolwandle (utshintsho kwijografi echaphazela ukutsalwa kweemoto kunye nee-rookeries),
+ ukumuncu (i-asidi yolwandle echaphazela intlanzi yeqokobhe kunye namanye amaxhoba ezinye izilwanyana zaselwandle), kunye
+ ukufuthaniselwa kwiindawo ezibizwa ngokuba ziindawo ezifileyo kumachweba kwihlabathi liphela (ekwachaphazela ubuninzi bamaxhoba).
– Okokugqibela, iphaneli yokudibanisa idatha yezilwanyana ezanyisayo zaselwandle kunye ne-ecosystem yazo ukuze kulungiswe umsantsa phakathi kwedatha yokusingqongileyo eninzi nefumanekayo, kunye nedatha yebhayoloji yezilwanyana ezincancisayo ekufuneka yenziwe ifumaneke ngakumbi kwaye ihlanganiswe.

Isiphelo esiphakamisayo sentlanganiso siquka ukuqaqambisa iziphumo ezine ezincumisayo zonyaka woku-1 nowesi-2 wale workshop:
-Ukwenziwa kweCatalog yaseCalifornia Dolphin Online
-Iseti yeengcebiso kwiindlela zeenqanawa kumanzi aseCalifornia ukunciphisa ukungqubana okungalindelekanga kunye neminenga kunye nezinye izilwanyana zaselwandle.
-Isoftware entsha yokujonga ngokukhawuleza nangokulula kwezilwanyana zaselwandle
– Kwaye, umfundi onesidanga owathi, kwindibano yocweyo yalo nyaka uphelileyo, wadibana nomntu osuka eSea World owamncedayo wafumana isixa esaneleyo seesampuli ukuze agqibezele iPh.D. uphando, ngaloo ndlela uhambisa umntu omnye ngakumbi entsimini.

Njengoko ndandisiya kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya, ndathwala amandla abo baye bathakathwa ngezilwanyana zethu ezanyisayo zaselwandle nabazama ukuziqonda ngcono kunye nendima yazo kwimpilo yolwandle. Ukusuka kwi-LAX, ndakhwela inqwelomoya ukuya eNew York ukuya kufunda ngesiphelo kunye neziphumo zabaphandi abonwabileyo bobona bomi buncinci bolwandle.

Emva kweminyaka emibini, i-Tara Ocean Expedition ikwimilenze yayo emibini yokugqibela ukuya eYurophu emva kweentsuku ezimbalwa e-NYC ukwabelana ngeziphumo zophando lwayo. Isakhelo se-Tara Ocean Expedition siyingqayizivele-igxininise kwizidalwa ezincinci zolwandle kwimeko yobugcisa kunye nesayensi. IPlankton (iintsholongwane, iibhaktheriya, iiprotist kunye neemetazoans ezincinci ezifana ne-copepods, ijeli kunye nemibungu yeentlanzi) ifumaneka kuyo yonke indawo elwandle, ukusuka kwi-polar ukuya kwiilwandle ze-ikhwetha, ukusuka kulwandle olunzulu ukuya kumaleko aphezulu, kunye nokusuka elunxwemeni ukuya kwiilwandle ezivulekileyo. I-Plankton biodiversity ibonelela ngesiseko sewebhu yokutya yaselwandle. Kwaye, ngaphezu kwesiqingatha semiphefumlo oyiphefumlayo ithwala ioksijini eveliswe elwandle iye emiphungeni yakho. IPhytoplankton (iilwandle) kunye nezityalo ezisemhlabeni (amazwekazi) zivelisa yonke ioksijini ekwiatmosfera yethu.

Kwindima yalo njengeyona ndawo yethu inkulu yokutshona kwekhabhoni yendalo, ulwandle lufumana izinto ezikhutshwayo eziphuma ezimotweni, kwiinqanawa, kwimizi-mveliso yamandla nakwimizi-mveliso. Kwaye, yi-phytoplankton edla ubuninzi be-CO2, apho i-carbon igxininiswe kwizicubu zezinto eziphilayo nge-photosynthesis, kwaye i-oksijini iyakhululwa. Enye i-phytoplankton ifunxwa yizooplankton, ukutya okungundoqo kwiikhrastasia zolwandle ezincinane kwiminenga emikhulu. Emva koko, i-phytoplankton efileyo kunye ne-zooplankton's poop zitshona kunzulu olwandle apho inxalenye yekhabhoni yazo iba yintlenge emgangathweni wolwandle, ifuna loo khabhoni kangangeenkulungwane. Ngelishwa, ukuqokelelwa okubalulekileyo kwe-CO2 kumanzi olwandle kuyoyisa le nkqubo. Ikhabhoni eyongezelelweyo iyanyibilika emanzini, inciphisa i-pH yamanzi, kwaye iyenza ibe ne-acidic ngakumbi. Ke kufuneka sikhawuleze sifunde ngakumbi malunga nempilo kunye nezoyikiso kuluntu lwethu lweeplankton zolwandle. Ngapha koko, imveliso yethu yeoksijini kunye ne-carbon sink yethu isengozini.

Eyona njongo iphambili yohambo lweTara yayikukuqokelela iisampulu, ukubala iiplankton, kunye nokufumanisa ukuba zazininzi kangakanani na kwii-ikhosistim ezininzi ezahlukeneyo zolwandle, kunye nokuba zeziphi iintlobo eziphumeleleyo kumaqondo obushushu ahlukeneyo kunye namaxesha onyaka. Njengeyona njongo iphambili, olu hambo lwalujongwe ukuba luqale ukuqonda ubuntununtunu beplankton kutshintsho lwemozulu. Iisampulu kunye neenkcukacha zahlalutywa emhlabeni kwaye zacwangciswa kuvimba wedatha ohambelanayo owawuphuhliswa ngelixa uhambo lwaluqhubeka. Lo mbono mtsha wehlabathi wezona zidalwa zincinci kulwandle lwethu uyaphefumla kumda kunye nolwazi olubalulekileyo kwabo basebenzela ukuqonda nokukhusela iilwandle zethu.

Uhambo olumbalwa lwandisa umsebenzi wabo xa bengena ezibukweni, bewubona njengexesha lokuphumla. Nangona kunjalo, iTara Oceans Expedition ifezekisa okuninzi kakhulu ngenxa yokuzinikela kwayo ekudibaneni nasekusebenzeni noosonzululwazi balapha ekhaya, abafundisi-ntsapho kunye namagcisa kuwo onke amazibuko okufowunela. Ngenjongo yokwandisa ulwazi jikelele malunga nemiba yokusingqongileyo, yabelana ngedatha yenzululwazi ngeenjongo zemfundo kunye nemigaqo-nkqubo kuzo zonke izibuko zocingo. Le Tara Ocean Expedition yayinezibuko ze-50 zokufowuna. I-NYC yayingahlukanga. Enye into eyayibalasele yayiligumbi lokuma kuphela isiganeko sikawonke-wonke kwiKlabhu ye-Explorer. Ubusuku buquka izilayidi ezimangalisayo kunye neevidiyo zehlabathi ezincinci zolwandle. Ekhuthazwe lixesha lakhe kwi-Tara Expedition, umzobi uMara Haseltine watyhila umsebenzi wakhe wamva nje-ubugcisa bokunikezela nge-phytoplankton elwandle incinci kangangokuba ngaphezu kwe-10 yazo inokungena kwi-pinky isikhonkwane-eyenziwe ngeglasi kwaye isikali ukuya ubukhulu betyhuna yebluefin ukubonisa ezona nkcukacha zincinci.

Kuyakuthatha ixesha ukudibanisa konke endikufundileyo kwezi ntsuku zintlanu-kodwa inye into ebalaseleyo: Kukho ilizwe elityebileyo lezazinzulu, amatshantliziyo, amagcisa, kunye nabathandli abanothando ngolwandle kunye nemingeni ephambi kwethu kunye nemizamo yabo. kungenelwa thina sonke.
