CORVALLIS, Ore., Sept. 2 -- Oregon State University issued the following news release:
A team of scientists is studying the complex ocean upwelling process by mimicking nature - pumping cold, nutrient-rich water from deep within the Pacific Ocean and releasing it into surface waters near Hawaii that lack the nitrogen and phosphorous necessary to support high biological production.
The researchers are harnessing the power of the ocean to conduct their experiments, us . . .
