<DIV><STRONG><BR></STRONG>Two cultural shifts are simultaneously shaking the
foundations of oceanography in the United States—and fueling a debate about the
future direction of a fast-changing field. Fewer scientists are going to sea as
a result of a shrinking science fleet, flat budgets, and skyrocketing costs. At
the same time, oceanographers are using a growing array of high-tech
devices—from satellites and gliders to vast networks of sensors tethered to the
sea floor—to remotely collect more data than ever before without getting wet.
