Paul Daigle, Woods Hole Oceanic Institution (Virtual visit)
The ocean is a vast and challenging place to work, but knowledge about the ocean is crucial to life on a changing planet. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is the world’s leading independent non-profit dedicated to ocean science, technology, education, and communication. WHOI scientists and engineers travel the globe from land and the coasts to the deepest depths to tackle questions ranging from climate change to oil spills to ocean acidification. If there is no tool to do what needs to be done, they invent one; if there is no experimental method, they devise it. Because now more than ever, the ocean matters to us all. Join Paul Daigle as he gives an overview of the incredible things WHOI does everyday, discoveries they have made and research they are working on.
They also have incredible learning resources. Check them out here.
