In this week’s episode, we are speaking with Dr. Dawn Wright, chief scientist at Esri, or Environmental Systems Research Institute and a specialist in marine geology, geography, and oceanography, and not least of all a deepsea diver. 

Dawn Wright also made history in 2022 when she became the first Black person to visit Challenger Deep, the oceans deepest and most unexplored place on Earth, an experience she goes into detail about in her new book, co-written with Esri Press, Mapping The Deep: Innovation, Exploration, and the Dive of A Lifetime. 

Dawn walks us through why mapping the oceans' depths is so critical and the positive impacts this information is having on not only the health of our oceans but what that means for us terrestrial beings!

To me, Dawn is a Renaissance woman in the world of oceanography and mapping systems and her breadth of understanding of all things oceans is as far reaching as the depths of Challenger Deep. 

Please join us on this dive of a lifetime and enter into the mysterious and breathtaking world below! 

Lots of Love.
