Ukubheka Emuva Emhlanganweni Wesayensi Ye-Ocean wango-2022

I-COVID-19 ilethe izinselelo ezingakaze zibonwe emhlabeni wonke. Isayensi yolwandle, ngokwesibonelo, iye yavela kakhulu ekuphenduleni lokhu kungaqiniseki. Lolu bhubhane lumise okwesikhashana amaphrojekthi okucwaninga ngokubambisana elebhu kanye nokuseviswa kwezisetshenziswa zokuqapha zesikhathi eside ezisatshalaliswe phesheya kolwandle. Kodwa ukuya ezingqungqutheleni ezijwayelekile ezivame ukuqoqa imibono eyahlukene kanye nocwaningo lwamanoveli luhlala lunzima. 

Kulo nyaka Umhlangano Wesayensi Yasolwandle wango-2022 (OSM), ebibanjwe cishe kusukela ngoFebhuwari 24 kuya kuMashi 4, ibinendikimba ethi “Wozani Sihlanganyele”. Lo muzwa ububaluleke kakhulu ku-The Ocean Foundation. Manje eminyakeni emibili kusukela ekuqaleni kwalolu bhubhane, sasijabule futhi sikuthokozela ukuba nenqwaba yezinhlelo kanye nozakwethu ababambe iqhaza ku-OSM 2022. Sisonke sabelane ngenqubekelaphambili eqinile eyenziwe ngokusekelwa okuqhubekayo, izingcingo ze-Zoom emhlabeni wonke cishe zazidinga. ekuseni kakhulu nasebusuku kwabanye, kanye nobudlelwane njengoba sonke sasibhekana nemizabalazo ebesingayilindele. Kuzo zonke izinsuku ezinhlanu zeseshini yesayensi, i-TOF ihole noma yasekela izethulo ezine ezisuka kweyethu I-International Ocean Acidification Initiative futhi EquiSea. 

Ezinye Izithiyo Zokulingana Zomhlangano Wesayensi Yasolwandle

Odabeni lokulingana, kusaqhubeka ukuba khona kwentuthuko ezingqungqutheleni ezibonakalayo njenge-OSM. Yize ubhubhane seluthuthuke kakhulu emakhonweni ethu okuxhuma ukude futhi sabelane ngemizamo yesayensi, akubona bonke abanezinga elifanayo lokufinyelela. Injabulo yokungena esiphithiphithini sesikhungo senkomfa njalo ekuseni nantambama amakhefu angasiza ekushaneleleni indiza eceleni ngesikhathi sezinkomfa zomuntu mathupha. Kodwa ukuzulazula ngezingxoxo zangaphambi kwesikhathi noma zamuva ngenkathi usebenza usekhaya kubangela isethi ehlukile yezinselelo.

Engqungqutheleni ebihlelelwe i-Honolulu ekuqaleni, eqala amaseshini abukhoma nsuku zonke ngo-4 am HST (noma ngaphambi kwalokho kulabo abethula noma ababambiqhaza abavela eziQhingini zase-Pacific) kubonise ukuthi le ngqungquthela yamazwe ngamazwe ayizange ikugcine lokhu kugxila kwendawo lapho iba ngokoqobo ngokugcwele. Ngokuzayo, izindawo zesikhathi zabo bonke abethuli zingase zifakwe kuzo lapho kuhlelelwa amaseshini abukhoma ukuze kutholwe izikhala ezithandeka kakhulu kuyilapho kugcinwa ukufinyelela ezinkulumweni ezirekhodiwe futhi kwenezelwa izici ukuze kube lula ukuxoxisana phakathi kwabethuli nababukeli.    

Ukwengeza, izindleko eziphakeme zokubhalisa zethule umgoqo wokubamba iqhaza kwangempela emhlabeni jikelele. I-OSM inikeze ngokukhululekile ukubhaliswa kwamahhala kulabo abavela emazweni anemali engenayo ephansi noma ephansi njengoba kuchazwe yiBhange Lomhlaba, kodwa ukuntuleka kwesistimu ehlanganisiwe kwamanye amazwe kusho ukuthi ochwepheshe abavela ezweni elinemali encane efinyelela ku-$4,096 USD ku-Gross Net Income. umuntu ngamunye kuzodingeka ahlangabezane nemali yokubhalisa yelungu engu-$525. Nakuba i-TOF ikwazile ukusekela abanye ozakwethu ukuze benze kube lula ukubamba iqhaza kwabo, abacwaningi abangenakho ukuxhumana nosekelo lwamazwe ngamazwe noma izinhlangano ezingenzi inzuzo zokongiwa kwemvelo kusafanele babe nethuba lokujoyina futhi banikele ezikhaleni zesayensi ezibalulekile ezidalwa izingqungquthela.

pCO yethu₂ ukuze Hamba Kwezinzwa Zokuqala

Kuyajabulisa ukuthi umhlangano we-Ocean Sciences uphinde waba ngokokuqala ngqa ukuthi sibonise i-pCO yethu entsha ebiza kancane, ephathwa ngesandla.₂ inzwa. Lo mhlaziyi omusha uzalwe ngenxa yenselelo evela kuMphathi Wohlelo we-IOAI U-Alexis Valauri-Orton kuDkt. Burke Hales. Ngobungcweti bakhe kanye nogqozi lwethu lokudala ithuluzi elifinyeleleka kalula lokukala i-chemistry yolwandle, ndawonye sakha i-pCO.₂ to Go, isistimu yezinzwa elingana entendeni yesandla futhi inikeza ukufundwa kwenani le-carbon dioxide encibilikisiwe emanzini olwandle (pCO₂). Siyaqhubeka nokuhlola i-pCO₂ Ukuhamba nozakwethu e-Alutiiq Pride Marine Institute ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izindawo zokuchanyuselwa zingasebenzisa kalula ukuqapha nokulungisa amanzi azo olwandle - ukugcina i-shellfish encane iphila futhi ikhula. Kwa-OSM, sigqamise ukusetshenziswa kwayo ezindaweni ezisogwini ukuze kuthathwe izilinganiso zekhwalithi ephezulu emizuzwini embalwa nje.

Idatha ye-pCO₂ i-to Go to go iyithuluzi elibalulekile lokufunda izikali ezincane zendawo ngokunemba okuphezulu. Kodwa, inselele yokushintsha izimo zasolwandle nayo idinga ukunakwa okukhudlwana kwezindawo. Njengoba inkomfa ekuqaleni yayizoba e-Hawaii, izifunda ezinkulu zasolwandle zaziyingqikithi yomhlangano. UDkt. Venkatesan Ramasamy uhlele iseshini ethi “Ocean Observation for the Small Island Developing States (SIDS)” lapho uzakwethu we-TOF uDkt. Katy Soapi wethule egameni lephrojekthi yethu yokwandisa umthamo wokubona ukugcwala kwe-asidi yolwandle eziqhingini zase-Pacific.

UDkt. Soapi, onguMxhumanisi we-Pacific Community Center for Ocean Science, uhola i-Pacific Islands Ocean Acidification Centre (PIOAC) i-TOF eyaqalwa njengengxenye yalokhu kubambisana phakathi kozakwethu abaningi* ngosekelo oluvela ku-NOAA. Isethulo sikaDkt. Soapi sigxile kule modeli yokwakhiwa kwamandla okubuka olwandle. Sizofeza le modeli ngokuhlangana kokuqeqeshwa okuku-inthanethi kanye nokuqeqeshwa komuntu siqu; ukuhlinzekwa kwempahla; kanye nokusekelwa kwe-PIOAC ukuze inikeze amathuluzi okuqeqeshwa, uhlu lwezingxenye eziyisipele, namathuba emfundo engeziwe alabo abakuso sonke isifunda. Nakuba le ndlela siyilungise ngendlela efanele i-acidification yolwandle, ingasetshenziswa ukuze kuthuthukiswe ucwaningo lwesimo sezulu solwandle, izinhlelo zokuxwayisa ngezingozi zangaphambi kwesikhathi, kanye nezinye izindawo zezidingo ezibalulekile zokubhekwa. 

*Ozakwethu: I-Ocean Foundation, ngokubambisana ne-Ocean Teacher Global Academy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Umphakathi wasePacific, iNyuvesi yaseNingizimu Pacific, iNyuvesi yase-Otago, iNational Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, iziqhingi zasePacific. I-Ocean Acidification Center (PIOAC), enolwazi oluvela ku-Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission ye-UNESCO kanye ne-University of Hawaii, futhi ngokusekelwa uMnyango Wezwe wase-US kanye ne-NOAA.

UDkt Edem Mahu kanye ne-BIOTTA

Ngaphezu kwesayensi enhle kakhulu okwabelwana ngayo eMhlanganweni Wesayensi Ye-Ocean, imfundo ibuye yaba yindikimba evelele. Abasebenzi bahlangana ndawonye ukuze benze iseshini yesayensi ekude namathuba emfundo, ukuze babelane ngomsebenzi wabo futhi bandise ukufunda okukude ngesikhathi sodlame. UDkt. Edem Mahu, umfundisi we-Marine Geochemistry eNyuvesi yaseGhana futhi ohola iphrojekthi ye-Building Capacity in Ocean Acidification Monitoring e-Gulf of Guinea (BIOTTA), wethule imodeli yethu yokuqeqeshwa okukude kwe-acidification yolwandle. I-TOF isekela imisebenzi eminingi ye-BIOTTA. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukuqalisa ukuqeqeshwa okuku-inthanethi okwakhela phezu kwesifundo esisha se-OceanTeacher Global Academy se-OceanTeacher Global Academy ngokubeka iseshini ebukhoma elungiselelwe i-Gulf of Guinea, ukuhlinzeka ngosekelo olwengeziwe kwabakhuluma isiFulentshi, kanye nokwenza inkhulumomphendvulwano yesikhathi sangempela nochwepheshe be-OA. Amalungiselelo alokhu kuqeqeshwa ayaqhubeka futhi azokwakhiwa kusukela ekuqeqeshweni okuku-inthanethi i-TOF okwamanje ihlela iphrojekthi yeziqhingi zasePacific.

I-Marcia Creary Ford ne-EquiSea

Ekugcineni, u-Marcia Creary Ford, umcwaningi wase-University of West Indies kanye no-EquiSea co-lead, wethula indlela i-EquiSea ehlose ngayo ukuthuthukisa ukulingana kusayensi yolwandle phakathi neseshini ehlelwe abanye abalingani be-EquiSea, ebizwa ngokuthi “Global Capacity Development in Ocean. Isayensi Yentuthuko Esimeme”. Amandla esayensi yolwandle asatshalaliswa ngokulinganayo. Kodwa, ulwandle olushintsha ngokushesha ludinga ingqalasizinda yesayensi yolwandle yabantu, yobuchwepheshe, nesatshalaliswa kabanzi ngokulinganayo. UNksz Ford wabelane kabanzi ngokuthi i-EquiSea izobhekana kanjani nalezi zinkinga, iqala ngokuhlolwa kwezidingo zezinga lesifunda. Lokhu kuhlola kuzolandelwa ukuhlanganisa izibopho ezivela kuhulumeni kanye nabalingisi bemboni ezimele - ukunikeza amazwe ithuba lokukhombisa indlela yawo eqinile yokuvikela imithombo yawo yasolwandle, ukudala izimpilo ezingcono zabantu bawo, kanye nokuxhumana kangcono nomnotho womhlaba.
