green groups, such as the World Wildlife Fund, but also by its own environmental agency, which said the gaps of knowledge about deep sea biology were too big to decide on the opening.WHAT DO OTHER COUNTRIES SAY?Denmark said Norway's environmental study for the area opening was not good enough, while Iceland has questioned Norway's exclusive rights to explore for seabed minerals near the Arctic Svalbard archipelago. Norway is not part of the EU but is a member of the European single market. The EU's views on the issue are vital for Oslo's plans, some analysts have said.Norway is encouraged
Mega Machine Deep Driller: JOIDES Resolution
Reykjanes Mantle Convection and Climate,” running from June 12 through August 12. The project has three main goals, the first of which is to determine how the V-Shaped Ridges (VSR) and V-Shaped Troughs (VST) in the area along the Reykjanes Ridge (the area of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge just south of Iceland) were formed. These distinctive ocean crust patterns stretch over hundreds of kilometers on the seabed and are thought to be shaped by the mantle plume under Iceland, which is formed by hot rocks rising from deep within the Earth’s interior. The second objective is to identify how the

the challenges facing international marine science and IOC’s position within the UN system. The book nicely explained how governments use science to establish ocean policies in issues such as marine pollution, exploitation and hazards.David’s role in IOC took him to an international meeting Iceland in 2001 where he survived what could have been a serious car accident. He and a colleague (Trevor Guymer) were driving on an elevated road when the car somersaulted and finished on its roof. David had to make an ignominious exit through the rear window clutching a small but treasured suitcase that
