[SEMCO] FREE Live Interactions: Earth Day Endeavor Live!

[Holly Morin]

Inner Space Center presents: Earth Day Endeavor Live!

From April 18-23, the Inner Space Center (ISC) will be supporting the University of Rhode Island (URI) Graduate School of Oceanography’s (GSO) Research Vessel (R/V) Endeavor during the research cruise component of a URI Honors course led by GSO faculty, Dr. Melissa Omand, and graduate student, Christopher Orphanides. The research cruise will focus on whale-zooplankton-environmental interactions that occur in coastal and offshore waters of Southeastern New England. Investigating these interactions is central to management and conservation decisions for marine species such as the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale.

Explore with us on April 22, Earth Day, as Omand, Orphanides, and a group of 11 URI Honors students apply oceanographic instrumentation to display, analyze, and communicate collected data. Through live interactions, students, educators, as well as the general public can engage in the interdisciplinary nature of oceanography with an emphasis on the physical dynamics of ocean waters and how these influence marine life (and more specifically the marine food web) - from plankton to whales. 

Each event will be about 25-minutes in duration and will provide live feeds from the ship as ISC team member, Holly Morin, introduces viewers to the scientists and students on board the Endeavor.  Updates on science conducted, data collected, and animals sighted will be provided.  Participants will be able to ask questions to those expedition members participating in the interaction.
