	Greg Egan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Egan specialises in hard science fiction stories with mathematical and quantum ontology themes, including the nature of consciousness.
		Other themes include genetics, simulated reality, mind transfer, sexuality, artificial intelligence, and the superiority of rational materialism over religion.
		This story, minorly reworked, became a section of the novel Diaspora.

		Chemical interactions between oceanic crust and seawater can also alter volcanic glass, but the researchers say that the sort of structures they found are quite different from those caused by non-biological processes.
		Other indications of biological activity found in the volcanic glass are filament-like features reminiscent of organic remains, and a similarity in size between microorganisms and the tubes and microtubes in the granular structures (between 0.2 to 2 micrometers).

	Folktales - MSN Encarta
		Other forms include animal tales and fables, tall tales, formula tales, jokes and anecdotes, as well as cante fables (folk stories partly in song or verse).
		Such stories are considered true by both the narrator and the audience and tell of the creation and regulation of the world—tasks usually performed by a deity (god or goddess) who exists in chaos, in a void, or in some other world.
		Urban legends are contemporary stories that are set in an urban environment and reported as true (sometimes in newspapers) but that contain patterns and motifs that reveal their legendary character.

	Earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, with trace amounts of other gaseous molecules such as water vapor.
		This hypothesis explains (among other things) the Moon's relative lack of iron and volatile elements, and the fact that its composition is nearly identical to that of the Earth's crust.
		Large areas are subject to human-made pollution of the air and water, acid rain and toxic substances, loss of vegetation (overgrazing, deforestation, desertification), loss of wildlife, species extinction, soil degradation, soil depletion, erosion, and introduction of invasive species.

	Maine Fossils: Remains of life from another time and space - Maine Geological Survey
		Other types of fossils, known as trace fossils, preserve the activities of some of these less represented soft-bodied forms.
		Some animal tracks, trails and burrows made over 400 million years ago are similar to those made by modern animals, such as marine worms and jellyfish, and allow us to infer their presence in the geological past, even if their bodies have not been preserved.
		There may be some reworking of the sediments within the basin due to local events (storms, underwater currents) or more regional ones (drop in sea level), but overall, these sediments remain in the basin, as do the organic remains they encase.

		Then, we heard horror stories about the earth turning into a desert and about all the ice melting, and the oceans rising up 30 feet or so, and places like New Orleans, Charleston, Miami, and even London being in big trouble because of it.
		Other effects in the atmosphere and solar system also give us some warming up or cooling down.

	The Earth: A Living Planet - Plate Borders&Mountain-Building
		Oceanic plates are heavier and thinner, so they are generally forced underneath the lighter, thicker continental plates.
		When the cold oceanic crust is forced down under the edge of a continental plate, it is heated by the underlying hot mantle.
		As the oceanic plates go beneath the continental plates, the sediments are dragged down to the mantle where they are heated.

	Geological Society of America - Highlights from Geology
		These are (1) ophiolites (fragments of oceanic lithosphere) and two kinds of metamorphic assemblages that require the unusually cold environment of subduction zones, (2) blueschists, and (3) ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphic terranes.
		The geologic record is examined for the first appearance of these, yielding a consistent answer: ophiolites, blueschists, and UHP terranes first become important in the rock record in Neoproterozoic time, about 1000-542 Ma, implying that plate tectonics began operating on Earth at that time.
		Oceanic anoxia can profoundly influence organic carbon production and burial (the biological pump) by enhancing recycling of the limiting nutrient phosphorus.

	Vanguard - Business : Industry : Oceanic Bank's scorecard for real sector funding
		All banks in the country, it will be recalled, through the scheme, are expected to set aside 10 percent of their profit before tax annually for equity investments in small and medium industries.
		This arrangement is meant to eliminate the burden of interest and other charges associated with normal bank lending.
		While asking other banks to emulate the gesture of Oceanic Bank in effectively building the nation through judicious disbursement of their SMEEIS funds, Aigbogun said: Other banks should understand that ideas take time and must not see their investment in any company as one that could be recouped in one day.

	INTR 532 Bibliographies: Oceanic Theologies
		I have been privileged to be a listener to these stories told by women from practically all the islands in the Pacific.
		Women theologians must try to understand, to receive and to accept their stories, to hear their songs and lamentations and to translate these subsequently into articulate, rigorous, theological discourse.
		It is a story woven together from threads of the Pacific experience of the holy, an experience often very different from our own.

	OCEANIC WHITE TIP SHARK
		Oceanic whitetips can lift their noses out of the water and sniff the air to find prey over greater distances than by following water borne scent trails.
		The Oceanic whitetip may circle swimmers or divers repeatedly if it thinks it may have a potential meal.
		Although open ocean diving with Oceanic whitetips is a hit or miss affair some places where they have been seen regularly by divers are: Hawaii's Kona Coast, Various Red Sea locations including Ras Mohammad, and Australia's Jervis Bay.

	ON EMERGENCY DESCENT and OTHER STORIES
		The story was about a bomber pilot having left the RAF and joining a British airline as a first officer.
		The other side of the coin was that fuel consumption was significantly increased while anti-ice heating was operating and this could eat into our reserve fuel at the destination.
		The little old lady trotted off the aircraft after what was to her a boring flight with no emergency descent to liven things up, and I watched with affection as her grandchildren kissed and garlanded her with flowers.

	CNN.com - Mass extinction traced to oceanic methane burp - July 27, 2000
		The researchers believe massive volcanic eruptions during the Jurassic period initiated global warming by spewing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
		Methane, freed from its suboceanic cage by warmer water, then used the oxygen in the water or atmosphere to form carbon dioxide.
		Others affected included ostacods, belemnites and some marine plants.

	. : WEST COAST MODELS : .
		Called the Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS), the code is used by a UCLA-based research group to study the many complex events that are part of a coastal circulation system.
		These events include the cycling of nutrients locally and regionally and their effect on local ecologies, sediment movement and how it mixes with the waters, and localized circulation patterns caused by surface storms and resulting upswells, coastline terrain, and inflow from coastal rivers.
		McWilliams, a professor of oceanography in UCLA's department of atmospheric and oceanic sciences and Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, is the principal investigator for this research project.

		In the 1950's, as a child, she was fascinated by oceanic life and lore.
		From these ideas combined, she fashioned the broader Oceanic, Cthonic and Alien "Other Nations" concept for the creatures she invented, and for some of the creatures others wrote of that were present in standard mythology and folklore.
		She has written stories that appeared in fanzines under other names, among them, Mels T. Gonzalo, Malek Said Homien, Phyllis Rose, Melanie Shepherd, Shimmera Dankledeep, A. D'Fender, Eric Adrian Poe, Lasonya Nella Faccia, and Ada Marsh.
