[SEMCO] Dispatches from the Sargasso Sea, Free Remote Talk

[Doug Karlson]

Dr. Jeff Schell, SEA Professor of Oceanography, will present "Dispatches from the Sargasso Sea," the next in our "Class on the Quarterdeck" series, tomorrow, Tuesday, May 12, at 2 pm. These remote talks are intended for a general audience, and they're free and open to the public. Please join us on Zoom: https://bit.ly/2Wn0u7H<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F2Wn0u7H%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3QNZ3H7cRWhM1l1IqwLV3XQ99pKvS9Tgtci_zMYgfcb1UU7uWSQi5yk-I&h=AT16m5A6clKviaeZspSeEBHxHeFFAcqOkul3sHi56aGuI5cAR4Gv2NtJT-74zhtlQpG5_B80ZgvUcGOmLVgXd3MGzr1P4vdlW4Rz8aLyCRngPMbclJIvy9uZMqnZT3VchsKckFoVHKZrKyKTKMQS2pfgGokY_lUd8UUMl_ssesTdXAcu2zW56DHrKF6T8LMeeGZ1DJ-mqlHpIQrXZ66SUGwL_OFkkC0-AeFasTzbK-nMRovk-iJyHc9fWkaYaEGqtG_qLLBTHrwKFwkMTAs3IlxOB3Neg5Oh8H_buqOVVujTBbl58AkqPmSm46YN4j_AUTvNrtr8rTOffATagfYqXjZ0ssij0RmAR5gyKC2E5iwoGtgbHDrbzneMIpEWmXnaA7scYgXirEjgukrS3Kc-jBsh3QevQrDH3MPXRoz4G-OGjSQ8v7bFP19zw4JaGHqFdyKH1N4lFIuGrhBv_zjsK6Z1Sckj_fTHfyTh4hE_73L2hgep6QX2RoSeH2Yc-MBlDIScQ-qLlhSl89lPHPCqQNA9DxuYP5_ZBcw-bNf2kwDiJixF7hYvi40rX2Kl4Lj5sEbp_qipT2Pfw059FEHXzhnMFEvF96IdAgf9bCnuf_3I> Meeting ID: 269 358 7355, Password: Sargassum



About the talk: Dr. Schell will update us on SEA research into the mysteries of the Sargassum ecosystem. Sargassum is an open ocean seaweed found in the Atlantic Ocean that fosters a unique community of mobile fauna - a drifting oasis in the sea. It is important as an open ocean ecosystem, but recently has had negative impacts on Caribbean islands when large influxes swamp ports and beaches disrupting economic activity. Much is still not understood about temporal variability and physical mechanisms determining the distribution of this unique algae as well as the biodiversity of this drifting habitat. Much has been speculated from satellite and model studies, but little has been observationally verified. Fortunately, SEA has one of the largest in-situ datasets of Sargassum so we have an opportunity to verify which theories are correct.
