\n\t\tFriends of Oceanography Breakfast Lecture Takes a
\nJourney to the Ocean Floor
\n
\nNarragansett, R.I. — March 12, 2002 — The public is invited to attend a free Science for Breakfast Lecture, sponsored by Friends of Oceanography, to be held on Thursday, March 21, at 9 a.m. in the Coastal Institute Building on the 溏心vlog免费B站 Bay Campus. The lecture is part of a series featuring the research of 溏心vlog免费B站 Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) students. <\/p>\n

\tThe March 21 lecture, “Volcanoes, Worms, and Rocks: What IS on the Seafloor?” will be presented by geological oceanography graduate student Kelly O\u2019Connell of Narragansett. <\/p>\n

\tO\u2019Connell will talk about the great diversity found on the seafloor. Around 70% of the Earth is covered by the oceans and yet it is the most unexplored place on Earth. Over the past few decades scientist have developed more and more ways to sample or see the processes that create and destroy the seafloor. She will discuss the ways that scientists can do this and what they discover as a result. <\/p>\n

\tA native of Maryland, O\u2019Connell received a B.S. in geology from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Under the guidance of her major professor, Dr. Steven Carey, she studies the changes in seafloor depths before and after the 1883 eruption that destroyed two-thirds of the island of Krakatau. She is working on her master\u2019s thesis entitled “Subaqueous Pyroclastic Flow: Deposits from the 1883 Eruption of Krakatau Volcano, Sunda Straits, Indonesia.” <\/p>\n

\tThe lecture is free and open to the public. Coffee and muffins will be served. For more information, call Friends of Oceanography at (401) 874-6642. <\/p>\n
