Ocean 2.0: Resources and Challenges for the 21st Century
Dr. Tony Haymet Director, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, USA Dr Tony Haymet is a highly distinguished researcher. His personal scientific interests include Antarctic fish antifreeze proteins and nucleation. Between 1981 and 1991 Dr Haymet worked in the USA at Harvard University, Berkeley University and University of Utah. He returned to Australia in 1991 and worked as Professor and Chair of Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Sydney. In 1998, Dr Haymet became Distinguished University Professor of Chemistry at the University of Houston, and two years later founded the University of Houston Environmental Modeling Institute. In January 2003, Dr Haymet became Chief of CSIRO Marine Research, and in July 2005, became Chief of the newlymerged CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research.
Abstract Societies throughout the world continue to expand the use of the oceans for commerce, food, and recreation. Many challenges await us in the next 30 years. The world’s mega-ports continue to expand, and some, including Los Angeles – Long Beach, will soon be at capacity. Blue water fisheries continue to expand with even more sophisticated “high-tech” equipment more familiar from military operations, even as the cost of the catch continues on an alarming decade-long rise. The rising price of fuel has caused a rethinking of manufacturing and distribution strategies, especially in the Pacific Rim, while the global community continues to negotiate agreements on CO2 reduction. In North America, both cod (East Coast) and salmon (West Coast) fisheries have crashed, even while under strict professional fisheries management, humbling even the most optimistic scientists. Marine ecosystems from Thailand to the north Atlantic show unprecedented changes. Coastal real estate continues to be prized in developed and developing economies, as the recreation and inspiration human beings derive from the ocean becomes ever more precious. Due to human encroachment over the last 50 years, it is likely that our oceans will never return to their original state, Ocean 1.0. Faced with such daunting challenges, it may seem surprising that there are new opportunities. Thanks to a combination of satellite technology, and economical in situ diving robots, we are now within reach of gathering all the information we need to monitor the “health” of the ocean, in the same way as we have for many centuries for productive terrestrial land. The networks also provide cheap monitoring of this “ocean commons” to prevent rogue national or groups from destroying communal resources. The United Nations Law of the Sea Convention provides a framework for managing the world’s most important communal resource. The year 2009 brings new opportunities for countries to join and strengthen this management framework. International Symposium on Land, Transport and Marine Technology•13

Garbage in the Oceans • Ocean
currents in subtropical gyres converge at the surface, create "dead maelstroms.” • One gyre NE of Hawaii could contain Texas-sized mass of mostly plastic garbage.
• Scripps drifters find larger convergent gyre in south Pacific. Even more trash?

Trends and Technology Issues in the Construction and Transportation area to meet the Climate Change Jerome C. Glenn President, The Millennium Project World Federation of UN Associations, USA
Jerome C. Glenn is co-founder and Director of the Millennium Project of the World Federation of UN Associations. He is known for inventing of the Futures wheel technique and is cited as an expert on Future studies methodology by RAND Corporation. Millennium Project is a leading global participatory think tank supported by international organizations, governments, corporations, and NGOs, which produces the internationally recognized State of the Future annual reports for the past ten years. He is also the executive director of the American Council for the United Nations University since 1988, which represents the UNU in Washington, D.C. Glenn received a BA in Philosophy at The American University and holds an MA in Teaching Social Science focused on Futuristic Curriculum Development from the Antioch University New England.
Abstract The accelerating rate of change will make the changes of the last 25 years appear slow compared to the next 25 years. The build environmental will have ubiquitous artificial intelligence imbedded. Humans will also have nanotech imbedded on and in there bodies with transceivers making a continuum of the built environment, human bodies, and our minds. Before we get to this “Conscious-Technology” age we have to address climate change in a variety of ways. Carbon based fuel systems have to be retrofitted with carbon sequestration systems and as much of constructed surfaces should be retrofitted with solar electric and thermal systems. We have to shift from petroleum to electric-based transportation systems and change the base-load electricity systems of the world eventually to Solar Power Satellites (Japan is the first country to make this a national goal). The new field of “Urban Systems Ecology” should be taught in universities and developed as the basis for urban planning and construction industries. A collective intelligence fro the transportation, construction, and marine industries to address climate change will be helpful as will the integration of archeology, urban systems ecology, and cyberspace.

Low cost electric car batteries (batteries may fall to $2,000 for 10KW)
Lithium-Ion batteries from Thunder Sky in China could dramatically lower the costs of electric cars in Europe and North America when their new factories are completed in July 2007 in the US and the second half of 2008 in Finland. Chinese bus companies have signed the long-term contracts. Chinese car companies could use these batteries to make as many as 100,000 by 2008 and 200,000 by 2009/2010.

Retrofit for Solar Energy
Collective Intelligence (CI) to support future transportation and construction • CI is an emergent property from synergies among data/information/intelligence, software/hardware, and experts, that continually learns from feedback to produce just in time knowledge for better decisions than these elements acting alone. • Wikipedia is an early example. GENIS is another.
International Symposium on Land, Transport and Marine Technology•37
International Symposium on Land, Transport and Marine Technology
GENIS (Global Energy Network and Information System) • The Global Energy Network (GEN), providing communications and collaboration capabilities for a worldwide community of experts and others working on, or concerned with, energy issues;
• The Global Energy Information System (GEIS), a repository (knowledge base) and associated interactive access facility for as much of the world's total knowledge (actual content, pointers to external systems, and ability to mashup from other databases into one integrated set of outputs) about energy as can be accumulated.
