Perspectives on Ocean Science

Carsten Kooyman of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography discusses his work with Emperor Penguins and how scientists learn to live among these magnificently adapted Antarctic creatures. Series: "Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series" [Science] [Show ID: 1979]

Protecting sharks from population decline has never been more important. Join us for a discussion about shark conservation with shark researcher Andy Nosal, recent Scripps Oceanography graduate and Birch Aquarium’s new DeLaCour Postdoctoral Fellow for Ecology and Conservation. Learn about threats facing these essential marine predators, such as overfishing, finning, and negative public perception. Series: "Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series" [Science] [Show ID: 25203]

Charles Kennel, Former Scripps Institution of Oceanography director

and chair of the National Academy's Space Science Board, reviews what NASA's space program has accomplished, what it is doing now, and what the future holds for human space exploration. Series: "Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series" [Science] [Show ID: 25202]

The Protected Resources Division of NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center conducts research on marine mammals and turtles in all oceans of the world. Join Division Director Lisa Ballance as she describes the research and programs that are informing how we can protect and sustain some of our most precious ocean resources. Series: "Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series" [Science] [Show ID: 24912]

Join geophysicist Michael Hedlin as he describes how the exciting new field of atmospheric acoustics is allowing researchers to listen to Earth as never before. Discover how researchers tune into sounds in the atmosphere to learn more about dynamic Earth processes—from earthquakes and volcanic eruptions to meteorite impacts. You'll be surprised at what you can hear when you know how to listen! Series: "Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series" [Science] [Show ID: 24911]

Distinguished Professor Emeritus Richard Somerville, a world-renowned climate scientist and author of “The Forgiving Air: Understanding Environmental Change,” discusses the scientific case for urgent action to limit climate change.
