e.g., those on geology, subtidal and intertidal environments and ecology, and those on reef processes and trophic relationships, summarize a great diversity of research carried out by many scientists for many years. In contrast, the chapters on meteorology and oceanography summarize research carried out under one integrated program involving fewer scientists working over a shorter period. Individual chapters are processed separately for the data base.

Coden: ENVTA Country of Origin: United States Abstract: Norway and several other countries have harnessed the enormous energy of the ocean and used it to produce electric energy. Norway’s first wave-power station is at Tostestallen and has two types of wave-energy power plants. The first 1s an oscillating column generator which uses the force of the waves to push air up a 65 foot tower and through a turbine which drives a generator. As the wave recedes, the air is sucked back through the turbine, which runs continuously. The second power plant uses wave water that spills over a dam into a reservoir and rushes through turbines as it flows back to the sea. Norwegian engineers are also experimenting with ways to focus waves by creating a lens shaped reef. Ocean wave power technology could be useful to isolated places which have no other source of electric power, like the Marshall Islands of the Pacific.
