Science Made Public

During July and August, WHOI's Ocean Science Exhibit Center and 
Information Office <http://www.whoi.edu> at WHOI sponsor a series of 
public talks by WHOI scientists and engineers designed for a lay 
audience. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Joel Llopiz, Assistant Scientist, Biology Department 	July 12, 2016 • 3 
P.M.

The Secret Lives of Baby Fish: From Tuna to Eels to River Herring

*Joel Llopiz, Assistant Scientist, Biology Department*
Research in the WHOI Fisheries Oceanography and Larval Fish Ecology lab 
aims to understand what influences the survival of the earliest life 
stages of important fish species around the world. Learn fun facts on 
what larval fish eat, how researchers can tell how fast they grow, and 
how researchers can determine where they are drifting out in the open ocean.

Anna Wargula, Joint Program Student, Applied Ocean Physics & Engineering 
Department 	July 19, 2016 • 3 P.M.

The Power of Waves at Martha’s Vineyard

*Anna Wargula, Joint Program Student, Applied Ocean Physics & 
Engineering Department*
Norton Point, the southern barrier beach of Martha’s Vineyard, is one of 
the most dynamic coasts in Massachusetts. In April 2007, an inlet 
breached during the Patriot’s Day storm, exposing Katama Bay to tides 
and waves from the Atlantic Ocean. In August 2011, Hurricane Irene 
struck Martha’s Vineyard with 18-foot waves and 40-mile-per-hour winds 
and stopped the normally two-knot tidal flows out of the bay. Learn how 
WHOI scientists make measurements in breaking waves and strong currents 
and what these measurements tell us about ocean waves’ impacts on tidal 
flows in inlets and bays.

Alex Bocconcelli, Research Specialist, Applied Ocean Physics & 
Engineering Department 	July 26, 2016 • 3 P.M.

Blue Whales in Patagonia

*Alex Bocconcelli, Research Specialist, Applied Ocean Physics & 
Engineering Department*
Learn about a collaboration between WHOI and scientists in Chile to 
better understand the blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) living in 
northern Patagonia. The researchers photographed the whales to identify 
individuals and used overhead drone video to gather information on the 
animals’ body conditions. They attached digital recording tags (DTAGs) 
to the whales via suction cups to collect information about diving, 
feeding, and vocal behavior. This collaboration has great potential to 
provide information to policy makers on how to protect the unique 
habitats for highly endangered blue whales in this region.
