A reception with the speaker will follow the lecture. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tKincaid will discuss geophysical fluid dynamics &#8212; the study of why Earth\u2019s various fluid systems circulate the way they do. He\u2019ll share results on water circulation within Narragansett Bay and how this influences the transport of chemicals and biology, and discuss how the flow of hot material in the Earth&#8217;s mantle layer influences volcanic output in the Pacific Northwest, with a particular focus on the Yellowstone hotspot and super volcano.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tKincaid earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in earth science from Wesleyan University and a master\u2019s and doctorate in geophysics from Johns Hopkins University.  He teaches graduate courses on marine and environmental fluid dynamics, oceanographic modeling and geodynamics, as well as an undergraduate course, The Ocean Planet, which covers topics ranging from planetary science to Earth system science.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tIn describing his research, Kincaid said \u201ca goal of geological oceanography is to understand the relationship between Earth\u2019s convecting interior and our oceans over the entire spectrum of geologic time. This feeds directly into the very pressing need for understanding where Earth\u2019s ocean-climate system is headed, which clearly hinges on our understanding of how it has worked in past.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NARRAGANSETT, R.I. \u2013 April 25, 2014 \u2013 Christopher Kincaid, professor of oceanography at the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Graduate School of Oceanography, will present a free public lecture on May 14 entitled \u201cUnraveling the mysteries of a dynamic ocean planet: A user\u2019s manual for motion in our oceans and inner earth.\u201d &#13; Sponsored by the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archives"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58950\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
