Ukulinganisa i-Ocean Acidification ePanama

Ibhulogi yezivakashi ebhalwe u-Steve Paton, Umqondisi Wehhovisi Le-Bioinformatics e-Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute obambe iqhaza ku-Ocean Foundation's Ocean Acidification Monitoring Workshop ePanama.

Emhlabeni omiselwe ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu, uma ungakubhekile, ngeke wazi ukuthi isitimela siyeza size sikushaye...

Njengomqondisi we-Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute's (STRI) Physical Monitoring Programme, kuyisibopho sami ukuhlinzeka ososayensi bezisebenzi ze-STRI, kanye nezinkulungwane zabacwaningi abavakashile nabafundi, ngedatha yokuqapha indawo ezungezile abayidingayo ukuze bafeze umsebenzi wabo. ucwaningo. Kubacwaningi basolwandle, lokhu kusho ukuthi ngidinga ukwazi ukuveza i-oceanographic chemistry emanzini asogwini lwasePanama. Phakathi kwezinto eziningi eziguquguqukayo esiziqaphayo, i-acidity yolwandle igqama ngokubaluleka kwayo; hhayi nje ngokubaluleka kwayo ngokushesha ezinhlobonhlobo zezinhlelo zebhayoloji, kodwa nangenxa yokuthi okulindeleke ukuthi kube nomthelela ekuguquguqukeni kwesimo sezulu emhlabeni.

Ngaphambi kokuqeqeshwa okunikezwa i-The Ocean Foundation, besazi okuncane mayelana nokulinganisa i-acidity yolwandle. Njengabaningi, sasikholelwa ukuthi ngenzwa ekahle ekala i-pH, sasibhekene nenkinga.

Ngenhlanhla, ukuqeqeshwa esikutholile kwasivumela ukuba siqonde ukuthi i-pH iyodwa ayanele, futhi kwakungekona ukunemba kokuthi sasikala i-pH enhle ngokwanele. Ekuqaleni besihlelelwe ukubamba iqhaza esimisweni sokuqeqeshwa esinikezwa e-Colombia ngoJanuwari 2019. Ngeshwa, imicimbi yenze kwaba nzima ukuba khona. Sibonga kakhulu ngokuthi i-Ocean Foundation ikwazile ukusihlelela iseshini ekhethekile yokuqeqeshwa ePanama. Lokhu akuvumelanga nje kuphela ukuthi uhlelo lwami luthole ukuqeqeshwa ebesikudinga, kodwa futhi kwavumela abafundi abengeziwe, ochwepheshe, nabacwaningi ithuba lokuba khona.

Usuku lokuqala lwesifundo sezinsuku ezi-5 lunikeze isizinda setiyetha esidingekayo kukhemistri ye-acidification yolwandle. Ngosuku lwesibili lwasethula ngemishini nezindlela. Izinsuku ezintathu zokugcina zesifundo zaziklanyelwe ngokukhethekile ukunikeza amalungu oHlelo Lwami Lokuqapha Umzimba ulwazi olujulile, olusebenza ngezandla ngayo yonke imininingwane ehlanganiswa kusukela ekulinganisweni, amasampula, izilinganiso emkhakheni kanye nelabhorethri, kanye nokuphathwa kwedatha. Sinikezwe ithuba lokuphinda izinyathelo eziyinkimbinkimbi nezibucayi kakhulu zesampula nezilinganiso izikhathi eziningi kwaze kwaba yilapho siqiniseka ukuthi singakwazi ukwenza yonke into ngokwethu.

Okwangimangaza kakhulu ngokuqeqeshwa yizinga lokungazi kwethu mayelana nokuqapha ukugcwala kwe-asidi olwandle. Bekukuningi ebesingakwazi nokungakwazi ebesingakwazi. Ngethemba, sazi ngokwanele ukuze sikwazi ukukala lo mkhuba ngendlela efanele. Futhi manje sesiyazi ukuthi singayitholaphi imithombo yolwazi nabantu abangasisiza siqiniseke ukuthi senza izinto ngendlela efanele futhi sithuthukise esikhathini esizayo.

Okokugcina, kunzima futhi ukuzwakalisa ukubonga kwethu ngokwanele ku-The Ocean Foundation kanye nabahleli bokuqeqeshwa kanye nabaqeqeshi ngokwabo. Isifundo sasihlelwe kahle futhi senziwe. Abahleli nabaqeqeshi babenolwazi futhi benobungane kakhulu. Kwenziwa yonke imizamo ukulungisa okuqukethwe kanye nokuhlelwa kokuqeqeshwa ukuze kuhambisane nezidingo zethu ezithile.

Akunakwenzeka ukweqisa ukubaluleka kokunikelwa kwemishini nokuqeqeshwa okuhlinzekwa yi-The Ocean Foundation. I-STRI ukuphela kwenhlangano e-Panama eyenza ikhwalithi ephezulu, ukuqapha kwamakhemikhali olwandle isikhathi eside. Kuze kube manje, ukuqapha ukugcwala kwe-asidi yolwandle bekwenziwe endaweni eyodwa kuphela oLwandlekazi i-Atlantic. Manje sesiyakwazi ukwenza ukuqapha okufanayo ezindaweni eziningi kuzo zombili i-Atlantic ne-Pacific Oceans yasePanama. Lokhu kuzoba okubaluleke kakhulu emphakathini wesayensi, kanye nesizwe sasePanama.
