	Encyclopedia: Colonization
		Colonisation (or colonization) is the act where life forms move into a distant area where their kind is sparse or not yet existing at all and set up new settlements in the area.
		Colonisation applies to all life forms in a sense though it is most often used in reference to insects and humans.
		Human colonisation is not to be confused with colonialism or imperialism, as colonisation is a broader category, encompassing all large-scale immigrations of an established population to a 'new' location, and expansion of their civilization into this area.

	Ocean colonization -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Ocean colonization is the theoretical practice of building structures to allow humans to live permanently in areas of Earth covered in water; whether floating on the surface of the (A large body of water constituting a principal part of the hydrosphere) ocean, secured to the ocean floor, or somewhere in between.
		The immediate practical advantage of this idea would be to lessen the effects of (Too much population) overpopulation by expanding the available living space many times over, and the possibility of forming (additional info and facts about micronations) micronations.
		With the likelihood of liquid water beneath the icy surface of (The 4th largest of Jupiter's satellites; covered with a smooth shell of frozen water) Europa and perhaps other outer planet moons, these habitats might be precursors for space colonies.

	space and ocean colonization
		In the tropical oceans, there is as much as a 50°F difference in temperature between the depths and the surface, and this can be used to run turbines to generate electricity.
		Only small areas of the oceans are filled with life, along the immediate shores, due to runoff of nutrients from the land, and areas of upwelling that bring the nutrients at the bottom to the surface, such as off of Chile.
		Since the majority of the earth is ocean, it is calculated that the earth could support many times the amount of life that it does if only the nutrients at the bottom of the ocean were brought to the surface.

		The ocean was a harsh and terrifying force which could take a life and close over the dead with hardly a ruffle; yet it was a source of food, a means of transportation, a protective natural barrier, a battlefield.
		The ocean promises hoards of minerals, a bountiful supply of foodstuffs, and millions of barrels of fuel oil, at a time when he scarcity of further untapped resources on the land areas is becoming ominous.
		Yet the oceans also hold out an exciting challenge, for we are beginning our exploitation of the ocean's fabulous riches with a consciousness of the need for conservation and environmental protection.

	Colonization
		The need for labour in the Americas by the various European nations also led to the booming of the African slave trade leading to fl colonization of the Americas- today this is especially apparent in the Caribbean where the largest ethnic group is of African descent.
		Modern colonization is called immigration and is very strictly controlled by law.
		On the other hand, if the planet is already inhabited, much less benign consequences ensue: indeed, some science fiction authors have used the colonization of alien planets by humans, or the colonization of Earth by aliens, to explore the real-world issues surrounding the phenomenon.

	Colonisation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The 17th century saw other European nations beginning to colonise the Americas (mainly the Netherlands, France and England however many other nations attempted colonies) and these Europeans largely saw conventional movements of families into new lands.
		In some cases, expatriate communities do set up permanently in target countries, which is a 'truer' colonisation, though in many cases (especially when not gathered into a community) expatriates do not necessarily seek to 'expand their native civilisation', but rather to integrate into the population of the new civilisation.
		Some consider this use of the term to refer more to forms of colonialism than to actual colonisation, as peoples don't move permanently, but only a small number of people move to a target region temporarily, take what they want, deal for more, and leave.

	Southern Colonies
		It was bounded by two oceans, while Europe had but one; its central river valley for extent and fertility was unequaled in the world; nor could Europe match the Great Lakes, the cataract of Niagara, the Mississippi River, the Rocky Mountains, or the Grand Cañons of the Colorado and the Yellowstone.
		It was only through colonization that this vast and beautiful land could become truly useful to mankind, and the time was ripe for a portion of Europe to transplant itself permanently to North America.
		From that moment North America was open to colonization with little danger of hindrance from the Spaniards.

	Wind Driven Ocean Currents
		Indeed, many theories of the colonization of the isolated Pacific islands such as Hawaii and Tahiti by humans and plant and animal life have been based upon the ability of winds, ocean waves and currents to transport them from one island to the next.
		Fully funded scientific studies of the currents in the Pacific Ocean are few and far between, given the large area to be covered and the variability of wind and currents.
		Ebbesmeyer's next serendipitous study of the ocean currents in the North Pacific came in late 1992 when a large number of brightly coloured bathtub toys were reported on the beaches near Sitka, Alaska.

	Conference: Marine Environmental Politics
		Because the ocean has long been considered an underutilized and limitless frontier, little attention has been paid until recently to the destruction of its resources and the increasingly privatized, politicized, and capitalized access to its bounty.
		The notion that the ocean is a limitless resource of unlimited access is quickly disintegrating in the face of stepped-up vigilance and enforcement over EEZs, migrating stocks of fish, sea floor deposits, ecological sanctuaries, fishing grounds, and shipping passages and moorings.
		And of course, the ocean itself is a terrain of intense conflict over meaning and use, the representations of which vary from place to place, and over time.

		The mission of the IUAS is to teach the disciplines and impart the knowledge that will be needed in the next century for survival on Earth and for space colonization; to advance the colonization of the oceans and exploration and colonization of the galaxy, based on ecologically sustainable (non-polluting, renewable) approaches and humanistic values.
		It is, further, to enable individuals to benefit from their ingenuity and to advance the entrepreneurial spirit in a philosophical environment which is holistic, humanistic, and futuristic.
		The ocean presents a fertile field waiting to be tilled--perhaps ten to one hundred times the productive potential of all land resources--but it behooves us to approach it with ecological sensitivity and careful long-range planning (unlike the ways we have approached much land use).

		Diffusionist scholars have been impressed by a variety of specific culture traits and complexes shared by certain societies on the two sides of the oceans, but absent in the northern areas from which ice-age humans are supposed to have migrated from Eurasia to America, Jett said.
		Wagstaff said that although Jett's lecture showed there was a pattern of culture that needed to be explained, another possibility to similarities between Asia and the Americas was the colonization theory.
		The colonization theory says when the Bering Strait was crossed, the coast was colonized faster than the interior, so there was colonization down to South America and that accounts for some culture similarities, Wagstaff said.
