The Deep Sea is Earth's last great frontier. After almost 150 years of exploration and research we understand it is deep, dark and definitely different; but there remain large gaps in our knowledge that hinder progress in sustainable management of this vast system. New technology – from manned submersibles, to satellite measurements, acoustic systems, and artificial intelligence – is key to future research, and the next ten years promises to deliver a new age of deep-sea science.A lecture by Kerry HowellThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/deep-seaGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

The United Nations is currently undertaking negotiations with a view to concluding an international legally binding instrument for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (the BBNJ Treaty). The BBNJ Treaty will be an implementing agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Although three of four planned negotiating sessions have been completed, it is clear that states are still a long way from reaching a final agreement. This paper will identify key areas of disagreement among states and situate the negotiations within structural challenges facing the law of the sea and international law. The prospects of states agreeing to a Treaty that is ambitious and effective will be assessed. Joanna Mossop is an Associate Professor at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. Her research interests are in the law of the sea and international environmental law and she has published widely on issues such as marine biodiversity, dispute settlement, maritime security, Antarctica, and whaling. Her book, The Continental Shelf Beyond 200 Nautical Miles: Rights and Responsibilities (Oxford University Press) won the JF Northey Memorial Book Award in 2017. She is a member of the New Zealand delegation to the Intergovernmental Conference negotiating the BBNJ Treaty and is working on several writing projects connected to the process.

Frida María Armas Pfirter on The Continental Shelf and its Outer Limits

Vad säger det svenska språket om Sverige? Författaren Mara Lee försöker besvara frågan med hjälp av de sammansatta orden. På senare tid har det funnits ett ganska stort fokus på svenskhet, och i synnerhet svenska värderingar och svensk kultur. Oavsett om vi avfärdar tanken på någon ursprunglig svenskhet eller ej, kan det i sammanhanget vara viktigt att visa på en plats, mitt i det svenska, där skillnader är avgörande, utan att det betyder att något är mindre eller mer värt än något annat. Vad är detta för plats? Jo, det svenska språket. Men det är väl ingen som på allvar tror att en svensk katt skulle vara mer värd än en fransk chat? Vi som arbetar med språk kan inte låtsas som om skillnader inte finns. De inte bara finns: de är avgörande för att betydelser ska uppstå. Ljudet k betyder inget i sig, förutom att det inte låter som h eller några andra ljud. Katt betyder katt för att ordets begynnelsebokstav skiljer sig från begynnelsebokstaven i ordet hatt. Och det är så vi skiljer mellan vårt favorithusdjur och plagget vi bär på huvudet. Utan skillnader kan vi inte heller urskilja mening. Men detta betyder inte att ordet katt skulle vara mer värt än ordet hatt. Båda orden är väsentliga för att språket ska fungera. Författarens främsta redskap är språket. Och för en svensk författare är det det svenska språket som står i fokus. Jag tänkte därför beskriva ett par företeelser som framstår som typiska för svenskan, jag skulle rentutav kunna beskriva dem som språkliga, nationella särdrag. Genom att belysa och benämna dessa försöker jag inte nedvärdera andra språk eller kulturer. Det enda jag säger är att det finns skillnader. Men det är väl ingen som på allvar tror att en svensk katt skulle vara mer värd än en fransk chat? Trots att de låter olika: mjau, miole. Många litterära författare har ett ambivalent förhållande till språket. Fler än man kan ana är dyslektiska, och vissa kanske lärde sig läsa och skriva ovanligt sent, eller ovanligt tidigt. Det har också sagts att svenska språket är svårt att lära sig för utlänningar. En poet som jag känner, som kom till Sverige som vuxen från Colombia, berättade för mig att det svåraste svenska ordet hon visste var "tvättstuga". En annan vän från Los Angeles, som flyttade hit för fyra år sedan, berättade att hennes svenska favorituttryck var "fuffens", och på andra plats kom "sunt förnuft". Vad som anses svårt respektive enkelt i ett språk beror på vad vi är vana vid. Våra tungvrickande konsonanträckor - kvastskaft, skridskoinstruktör - kan te sig oöverstigliga för någon med spanska som modersmål, och vårt muttrande lilla korta u-ljud - uh - unikt för svenska språket - kan låta gulligt och exotiskt för amerikanska öron. Om de bara visste hur många av våra svenska fulord som kröns av detta ljud. Svensk poesi låter mycket, den har - kanske på grund av det svenska språkets relativa ordfattighet - en klangrik ljudbild. Det vill säga att den förmedlar mening inte bara via ordens betydelse, utan också genom hur den låter. Svensk natur, till exempel, är ofta enstavig: skog, mark och äng; asp, lönn, och björk. Den enstaviga naturen går igen i en lång tradition av manlig svensk lyrik, från Gustaf Frödings "Gråbergssång" som nästan bara består av enstaviga ord (och som dessutom domineras fullkomligt av vokalljudet - å) till den samtida poeten Joar Tiberg, som lyckades med konststycket att skriva en naturlyrisk dikt enbart bestående av bokstaven "i". Men svenskan är förstås inte bara enstavig och enslig. Den är också uppfinningsrik, och lånar sig gärna till nyordbildningar, pleonasmer och kreativa utbrott.  Ibland kan det bli ganska vackert, som i bändelkorsnäbb, eller vitmossamyra Ett av de viktigaste verktygen för detta slags kreativitet, är en så till synes trivial sak som vår förmåga att skapa sammansatta ord. Genom dessa kan vi skapa kombinationer av olika led som inte har så mycket med varandra att göra. Ibland kan det bli ganska vackert, som i bändelkorsnäbb, eller vitmossamyra. Men lika ofta blir det klumpigt, överlastat. De sammansatta orden låter inte sällan lika konstruerade som den betydelse som förmedlas av dem: revisionsberättelsemall, ledarskapscoachutbildning. Men är de sammansatta orden bara av ondo? Inte nödvändigtvis. Man kan visserligen tycka att ett ord som kontinentalsockelförordning är lite otympligt, men det är ändå betydligt snärtigare än den engelska motsvarigheten "Proclamation concerning the Application of the Act on the Continental Shelf". För ett substantiv väger trots allt lite tyngre än en massa lösa ord som flyter omkring. Men den allra viktigaste aspekten av de sammansatta orden är att de snabbt kan implementera nya idéer och tankar, i form av regelrätta substantiv. Ordet funktionshinderombudsman är ett långt krångligt ord, men det är för att det också speglar en komplex verklighet. Och jag lever hellre i ett land där ordet funktionshinderombudsman finns, än i ett land där det inte finns. Många av våra långa sammansatta ord, som till exempel antidiskrimineringsverksamhet, jämställdhetsintegreringsprogram, samtyckeslagstiftning, vittnar om ett socialt klimat som försöker adressera svåra frågor utan att ducka. Detta skulle vara svårare att göra om vi inte hade haft ord för dem. De sammansatta ordens speciella status i svenska språket har också fått genklang i litteraturen. Hos poeten Gunnar Ekelöf till exempel förknippas de med en specifikt folkhemsk fyrkantighet, och han illustrerar sin motvilja med ord som "kommunalbarnjungfrur" och "frisportarskogar". Även en poet som Katarina Frostenson har uppmärksammat de sammansatta orden. Men i Frostensons diktning råder ett mer kluvet förhållande till dem: de tycks väcka både kärlek och motstånd; en viss ambivalens. Ja, vissa skulle kanske till och med säga inkonsekvens. I det vanliga livet är inkonsekvens för det mesta ett skällsord. Men hur är det i poesin? Ett möjligt svar ges av den Berlinbaserade svenske poeten Malte Persson, som i en krönika om nationalskalder sjunger just inkonsekvensens lov när det kommer till poesi. Han konstaterar att våra bästa poeter visserligen hyllar moder Sveas bistra kyla, men de drömmer om sol. Det som nästan alla svenska poeter har gemensamt, är deras tusen nyanser av "nej" Att konstnärlig storhet oftast drivs av konflikt och motsägelser, är varken nytt eller särskilt konstigt. I diktens värld sätts våra vanliga levnadsregler ur spel, och om dikt skulle blåkopiera de normer som gäller i det vanliga livet, som till exempel "att leva som man lär", skulle konsten dö en snabb och säker död. Nej, ett litterärt språkligt arbete handlar aldrig om att endast spegla verklighet, det handlar om att skapa verklighet. Detta görs genom att tänja på gränser, att inte bara bekräfta det rådande, utan också gå emot det. Det som nästan alla svenska poeter har gemensamt, är deras tusen nyanser av "nej". Med detta "nej" knådar de svenska poeterna fram visionen av ett land, eller som man säger nu förtiden - en Sverigebild - som omfattar både kärlek och dess motsats. För poeterna vet, att i äkta kärlek försöker du inte täcka över skavankerna och bristerna. I äkta kärlek blundar du inte för såren och svagheterna. Kanske är det rentav det bristfälliga som förutsätter det storslagna. Kanske är det genom såren som styrkan och modet möjliggörs. Och detta, menar jag, gäller både dikt och liv. Detta gäller också, vill jag hävda, både kärleken till vår nästa och till vårt fosterland. Mara Lee, författare (Essän sändes för första gången i november 2016).

Of all of the departments of the U.S. government you might expect to be implicated in the exercise of imperialism, the Department of the Interior might not be the first one that you would think of. Of course, Interior played a vital role in American empire, as a vehicle of American territorial expansion and settler colonialism, and later in overseeing overseas territories. Megan Black’s The Global Interior: Mineral Frontiers and American Power (Harvard University Press, 2018) looks at the role of Interior in shepherding American empire, namely through the acquisition of mineral resources in overseas territories, and later, globally. In doing so, her book reveals another dimension of American empire. Black begins with the “closing” of the frontier and the Department of the Interior’s shift from managing biological resources over to mineral resources. The acquisition of territory in Alaska, the Caribbean, the Philippines, and several other Pacific holdings saw Interior work to develop mining operations, as well as articulating the concept of strategically vital minerals. As the United States began to grow closer to war in the late 1930s, this concern over vital minerals extended to other regions, particularly Latin America, as U.S. planners feared that their own stocks could be exhausted; they also argued that capital investment would develop infrastructure in these countries and help them develop. This fed neatly into the Cold War, which saw the U.S. extend its ambitions globally. Subsequent chapters analyze the role of Interior in developing the Continental Shelf and take a role in space, particularly through the Landsat satellite. Black concludes the book by discussing pushback from Native American tribes on mineral and energy rights, and the weakening of Interior under the Reagan Administration. Zeb Larson is a PhD Candidate in History at The Ohio State University. His research is about the anti-apartheid movement in the United States.

You might know post-punk band Preoccupations under the band's old band name Viet Cong. After the original name proved problematic, the band wisely changed the name and returned with a new self-titled debut. I hung out with Matt Flegel and Scott "Monty" Munro as they downed some beers in the back of their tour van. Why did the band need to change its name? How did they find the new band name? Which song on the new record was inspired by a lot of boxes of white wine? What happens when Monty actually listens to Matt's lyrics? Why did the band record this debut record in a few different cities? How did Matt get trapped in a room infested by ladybugs? Which song on the record is really three songs in one? How did the band get Dan Boeckner from Wolf Parade/Divine Fits/Operators to guest on "Memory"? Who are they most excited to visit when the go on tour? Has the band secretly formed a Black Sabbath cover band? What are Matt and Monty's favorite Black Sabbath deep cuts? Which song on the Preoccupations record has Monty not had enough time to grow to hate yet? You'll have to listen to find out! Tracks played on the podcast edition... 1) Preoccupations, Preoccupations (2016) "Anxiety" 2) Preoccupations, Preoccupations (2016) "Degraded" 3) Preoccupations, Preoccupations (2016) "Memory" 4) Viet Cong, Viet Cong (2015) "Continental Shelf" 5) Viet Cong, Viet Cong (2015) "Newspaper Spoons" 6) Preoccupations, Preoccupations (2016) "Fever" ALL songs CANCON

This episode highlights the laws and bills that passed the House of Representatives in June. Most of the bills this month were dedicated to cutting corporate taxes and keeping us hooked on fossil fuels. Laws S 1044: WWII Memorial Prayer Act The bill originated in the Senate, where it passed unanimously; it passed the House on June 23 by 370-12 and was signed into law a week later. A plaque will be installed at the Washington D.C. World War II memorial that says that President Roosevelt prayed on the morning of D-Day. The plaque will be privately funded. Written by Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio. No Republicans voted against it. HR 316: Collinsville Renewable Energy Production Act Allows the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reinstate a license for two hydro-electric projects in Connecticut and allows the license to be transferred to the town of Canton, Connecticut. Written by Elizabeth Esty, a Democrat from Connecticut. The bill passed unanimously in the Senate and was supported by every Democrat in the House; only three Republicans voted against it. It was signed into law on June 30th. Bills HR 4457: America’s Small Business Tax Relief Act of 2014 Makes permanent a four year business tax cut that allowed businesses to deduct up to $500,000 in property from their taxes. This is supposed to revert back to $25,000 in 2014. Adds things that can be deducted such as air conditioning, heating, and computer software. Eliminates some limits on what can be deducted. The amounts that can be deducted would increase yearly with inflation. The effects this bill would have on the budget would not be counted. Written by Rep. Patrick “Pat” Tiberi of Ohio. The bill passed with a vote of 272-144. HR 4453 S Corporation Permanent Tax Relief Act of 2014 Lowers the number of years that a kind of corporate income is taxable from ten years to five years. The effects this bill would have on the budget would not be counted. The bill passed 263-155 with the same two Republicans who voted against HR 4457 - Walter Jones of North Carolina and retiring Congressman John Campbell of California- voting against it. Forty-two Democrats said yes to this bill. The bill was written by Rep. David Reichert of Washington. HR 4413: Customer Protection and End User Relief Act Title I requires traders to have enough money to pay out customer bets and adds reporting requirements, but implements no punishment for non-compliance. Title II makes the Commodity Futures Trading Commission publish the costs and benefits of proposed regulations and creates a new Office of the Chief Economist within the Commodities Futures Trading Commission which has no specific purpose. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission could taken to court by a person - or corporation - that doesn't like their rules. The court can overturn the rules. Exempts some swaps gamblers from having to set aside money. Classifies fewer gamblers as "financial entities", which would effectively exempt them from some regulations. These changes are retroactive to July 21, 2010 (the effective date of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law). Walter Jones of North Carolina was the only Republican to vote against this bill (John Campbell didn't vote) and 46 Democrats joined the rest of the Republicans to pass it 265-144. The White House didn't issue a veto threat but said they "strongly oppose" the passage of this bill. It has little chance of becoming law. Written by Frank Lucas of Oklahoma. HR 3301: North American Energy Infrastructure Act Gives the Secretary of State, instead of the President, the authority to approve cross-border oil pipelines and forces them to make a decision within 120 days of the final environmental impact statement. No permit will be required to modify existing cross-border oil or gas pipeline. Allows the export and import of natural gas to Canada and Mexico without approval by the Federal Power Commission, which is required now. Allows the United States to transfer electricity to other countries without approval by the Federal Power Commission, which is required now. These provisions would be effective July 1, 2015. Written by Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan, who has taken over $2 million from the Energy and Natural Resources sector. The only Republican to vote against this bill was once again, Walter Jones of North Carolina. Seventeen oily Democrats joined the vast majority of the Republicans to pass this bill 238-173. HR 6: Domestic Prosperity and Global Freedom Act The Department of Energy would have to make their final decision on applications for gas export facilities within 30 days of the finished NEPA review. The public would have to be told where the gas is being exported. This bill was written by Rep. Cory Gardner, who is currently running for the Senate in Colorado. The bill passed 266-150. HR 4899: Lowering Gasoline Prices to Fuel an America that Works Act The government must lease at least 50% of the outer Continental Shelf that is thought to have the most oil and gas (according to the Minerals Management Service Assessment of Undiscovered Technically Recoverable Oil and Gas Resources of the Nation’s Outer Continental Shelf, 2006). Forces lease sales off of Virginia, South Carolina, and southern California, with rigged environmental reviews that are not allowed to analyze and compare alternatives to drilling. Gives 37.5% of the money the Federal government gets from offshore fossil fuel drilling and gives it to the oil States. Abolishes the Minerals Management Service, which no longer exists. Prohibits implementation of an Executive Order issued during the Deepwater Horizon disaster that says that we'll take care of the oceans. Considers territories to be "States" to force drilling off their shores. Limits the amount of time citizens have to challenge fossil fuel decisions in court to 60 days. Deems approval of drilling permits if they are not decided in less than 60 days. Citizen's will be charged a $5,000 "protest fee" to challenge a drilling permit in court. We would spend $50 million per year to map fossil fuels for the industry. Congress would be given less information about drilling leases. Would pass the PIONEERS Act - again - would would bring back the Bush administration rules for oil shale development, which require fewer environmental studies and allows oil companies decide which new regulations to obey. Would force oil and gas leasing in Alaska and deem approval of permits not decided in under 60 days. Deletes a completed environmental impact statement for drilling in Alaska. This bill was written by Rep. Doc Hastings of Washington, who is retiring at the end of this term. The bill passed the House on June 26 by a vote of 229-185.
