\n\t\tFree public lecture about microscopic predators begins at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n


\n\tNARRAGANSETT, R.I. \u2013 October 27, 2015 \u2013 Susanne Menden-Deuer, associate professor at the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Graduate School of Oceanography, will present a free public lecture on Nov. 17 entitled \u201cJaws Revisited\u201d about microscopic predators in the world\u2019s oceans.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe event, sponsored by 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Friends of Oceanography, will begin at 6 p.m. and take place in the Coastal Institute Auditorium, South Ferry Road, Narragansett on the 溏心vlog免费B站 Bay Campus. The lecture will be followed by a reception in the adjacent Studio Blue.<\/p>\n


\n\tAccording to Menden-Deuer, few people appreciate that every drop of water contains beautiful and diverse specimens of microscopic planktonic predators. In her lecture, she will engage the audience in an exploration of the role zooplankton play in the marine food web and how, despite their small size, they have a large footprint, including a role regulating climate.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cMy goal is to introduce the audience to different types of predators and show the mind boggling ways in which these predators feed and survive,\u201d she said. \u201cOverall, plankton are key to human survival and well-being, including producing the oxygen we breathe and forming the basis of all fish and shellfish we harvest from the ocean. And, as we are learning now, plankton are of central importance in the global climate.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tMenden-Deuer, one of several 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty members who study plankton in the marine environment, joined the 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty in 2008 following stints as a research fellow at Princeton University and a lecturer at Western Washington State University. Her research combines at-sea measurements of plankton production and mortality in temperate and polar oceans with laboratory measurements of plankton behavior and physiology and computer modeling to establish links between microscopic events and macroscopic phenomena.<\/p>\n


\n\tShe earned a master\u2019s and doctorate in oceanography at the University of Washington and a master\u2019s degree from the University of Bonn in Germany. She is a science mentor at the Metcalf Institute for Marine and Environmental Reporting, a member of the editorial boards of several journals, a member of the board of directors of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, and a volunteer judge with the National Ocean Science Bowl. She also collaborates on science communication with students and faculty at the Rhode Island School of Design.<\/p>\n
