Because new territory in the Arctic could mean new natural resources, CCOM researchers, tapped by the US government and led by Jim Gardner, have been silently scanning for six years now — mapping the frozen north as well as the Bering Sea, the gulfs of Alaska and Mexico, the Atlantic Margin off the East Coast, and the Marianas in the Pacific. They're racing to prove the US controls more territory than anyone thought. Read more at the Wired Magazine website.

Through several years of development and testing during joint expeditions, and through the installation of Exploration Command Centers (ECC's) on shore, NOAA OE is now preparing to initiate a major scientific and public outreach program from their new dedicated research vessel, the Okeanos Explorer that will include the use of telepresence technology.
Currently, prototype ECCs reside at URI GSO, IFE in Mystic, CT, the NOAA/University of New Hampshire (UNH) Center for Ocean and Coastal Mapping (CCOM) Joint Hydrographic Center, the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) in Seattle, and at a NOAA facility in Silver Spring, MD.
The latest expedition to the Aegean and Black Sea will last from August 1 to August 31, 2007

A map of the world hangs in a break room in UNH's Jere A. Chase Ocean Engineering Building. Over it a banner queries: "Where's Larry?" In answer, several cartoon Larrys, each wearing a red-and-white striped jersey and a wry expression, are positioned around the equator. Not surprisingly, the map is out of date. The real Larry Mayer-who spent one year out of the last six at sea-is just back from the Arctic.
