Denmark Strait 
<http://www.amazon.com/To-Denmark-Strait-Oceanographers-Mysterious/dp/1580801730>, 
/a firsthand account of a modern oceanographic adventure. Dallas Murphy 
accompanies WHOI oceanographer Robert Pickart aboard the research vessel 
/Knorr/ on an expedition to affirm the existence and origin of a 
previously unknown oceanic current between Greenland and Iceland. 
Learning about this current helps us grasp the mechanisms that move 
oceans, and which ultimately power worldwide weather systems. /To The 
Denmark Strait/ offers a complete multimedia experience of a scientific 
sea voyage: the vivid narratives of Murphy's daily at-sea journals are 
illuminated by clear explanations of the cutting-edge oceanography that 
propels the expedition. Stunning photographs of the Denmark Strait and 
dramatic videos of life aboard the /Knorr /animate the experience, 
augmenting the text with the sights, sounds and motion of science 
brought to life. Books will be available for purchase after the talk. 
Sponsored by the WHOI Information Office. Coffee, tea, and cookies 
served. Donations accepted.
