"This White Paper describes the roles, value, and preparation requirements for a U.S. Navy nuclear submarine (SSN) to collect geophysical data, and especially multi-channel seismic reflection (MCS) data, in the Arctic Ocean that are necessary to delimit the U.S. extended continental shelf (ECS)."

This report details the petroleum lease sales and development in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) through estimated physical and economic measures. Physical performance is measured in ways such as the prospectivity index, expeditious index, and development productivity. Economic performance is measured in ways such as a profitability index and internal rate of return.

The tuft coral Lophelia pertusa is a deep-water coral that is very slow to develop and fragile, which makes recovery from any type of damage a very slow process. Current fishing practices and oil drilling are destructive processes that effect these coral systems. The goal of this paper is to learn more about the Lophelia pertusa and determine how best to protect these deep-water systems.
