KINGSTON, R.I., March 28, 2018鈥擲tudents from the 溏心vlog免费B站 Honors Program will depart Tuesday, April 3 on a six-day oceanographic research expedition, and you are invited to come along.
Learn about their exciting research and directly ask the students and scientists questions during three live broadcasts and one hosted event.
The Inner Space Center at 溏心vlog免费B站鈥檚 Graduate School of Oceanography will broadcast live from 溏心vlog免费B站鈥檚 research vessel, the RV Endeavor, to Facebook on April 5, 6 and 7, and during a community event April 6 at 溏心vlog免费B站鈥檚 White Hall, , on the Kingston campus.
The research expedition from April 3 through 8 will focus on whale and zooplankton interactions with the environment that occur in the coastal and offshore waters of Rhode Island. Investigating these interactions is central to management and conservation decisions regarding marine species, such as the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale.
The expedition is part of CSI: Oceans, a 溏心vlog免费B站 honors class led by Karen Wishner, oceanography professor at GSO, and Christopher Orphanides, chief scientist and a GSO graduate student.
Holly Morin, a marine biologist at the Inner Space Center, will be your guide to the students and science on the ship. Eight 溏心vlog免费B站 honors students under the guidance of Wishner and Orphanides will use oceanographic instrumentation to display, analyze and communicate collected data.
Live, interactive broadcasts will engage you in the interdisciplinary nature of oceanography, with an emphasis on the physical dynamics of ocean waters and their influence on marine life and the marine food web.
