About this Event
Tonight’s lecture Swells, Soundings, and Sustainability… But "Here be Monsters," will begin with a brief history of how the ocean has been mapped with ships, satellites, and intuition. In her lecture, Dr. Wright will also explain how modern-day mapping systems have become increasingly intelligent. These systems are changing what we measure, how we analyze, what predictions we make, how we plan and regulate, how we design, how we evaluate and ultimately how we manage it all. And yet there remain compelling challenges in coping with both the over-abundance and paucity of data in the ocean, its multidimensionality, and how to make it accessible to the myriad audiences in great need of it.
