Presentations
John Morrison and Sara Rivero-Calle (Physics & Physical Oceanography), gave the keynote speaker presentations for the 2019 Blue Heron Bowl: "Ocean Observations” and "Satellite Observations of the Ocean: SeaHawk CubeSat" at NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher on February 1st.
Sara Rivero-Calle (PHY) presented two departmental seminars “Challenges and approaches to understanding the global ocean carbon cycle: in situ observations, satellites, and models” and "SeaHawk CubeSat: the first mini ocean color satellite" at Old Dominion University, Norfolk VA on February 7th.
Roger Shew presented to the Cape Fear Sierra Club on the discussion of the IPCC and National Assessments on Climate Change along with Current and Possible Impacts. Included were mitigation strategies and what individuals can do to reduce emissions.
Tricia Kelley gave three presentations in February. At Murray State University they were "Women in Science: Look like a lady, act like a man, work like a dog?" and "Why we need Conservation Paleobiology: Just ask Johnny Depp." She also presented for UNCW's Darwin Day with "Galapagos: How Darwin Evolved."
On February 21, Joseph Long gave a presentation entitled ‘Eyes on the Coast: Supporting Science with Beach Cams’ to the Wilmington and Beaches Convention & Visitors Bureau. This work is in collaboration with Dylan McNamara (PHY) and supports multiple projects related to coastal use and hazards (EOS).
