Sailing to Mars via Earth's Newest Landmass<http://www.anymeeting.com/PIID=EE56DA81804D3D>, Dr. Kerry Whittaker, Assistant Professor of Oceanography

On September 27th, 2019, the SSV Robert C. Seamans departed Pago Pago Harbor, American Samoa, bound for Earth’s newest landmass located in the Kingdom of Tonga.  This landmass was formed in an explosive volcanic eruption connecting the uninhabited islands of Hunga Tonga and Hunga Ha’apai (HTHH).  The mission: to better understand the biology and geology of this new volcanic landmass.  HTHH is unique, in that it represents the first new and persistent landmass formed on Earth in the age of satellite remote sensing.  HTHH has been deemed ‘Mars on Earth’ due to its similarity to Mars topography, and offers the opportunity for researchers to understand island evolution and formation in real time.  In this webinar, SEA Chief Scientist Dr. Kerry Whittaker will discuss the collaborative scientific and educational mission at HTHH, and share the experience of sailing to Mars on Earth, and studying Earth’s newest landmass, Hunga Tonga- Hunga Ha’apai.
