We'll look at sea level rise.

For a variety of reasons they're dangerous, but we feel that OOl, this Ocean Observatory Initiative, which the National Science Foundation has begun to fund, has the potential to really transform things.

But I miss the sea already.

We're only just beginning to understand how the physical oceanography and the biological oceanography come together to create a seasonal force that actually causes the upwelling that might make a hot spot a hope spot.

There are four oceans in the world.
