- Tickets, $20, available here
If you missed the UW Alumni Association’s lecture series last spring, “The Global Ocean & Human Culture: Past, Present & Future,” you can now watch the talks on UWTV. John Delaney, a UW professor of oceanography, presented the four lectures last April and May in the UW’s Kane Hall.
The talks now available for streaming are:
- Human Culture, Science of the Ocean, Art of the Sea (seen above, presented April 15)
- What path for Technology/Science/Oceans/Humans? – Part I (April 29)
- What path for Technology/Science/Oceans/Humans? – Part II (April 29)
- A Powerful Discovery: Volcanoes and Life (May 6)
- A Dialogue: Life Within Planets and Beyond Earth, a conversation between Delaney and John Baross, UW professor of oceanography (May 20)
He will present the fifth and final lecture Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. in Kane Hall 110 on The VISIONS ’14 Expedition: Completing Construction of the World’s Largest Cabled Ocean Observatory. Read a recent UW Today story about the 83-day expedition.
Delaney leads the Ocean Observatories Initiative team funded by the National Science Foundation to construct the world’s largest underwater ocean observatory off the Washington and Oregon coasts. Made up of 575 miles of cable, the network will stream continuous live ocean and seafloor data onto the Internet, transforming the way scientists can study the ocean.
The lectures are presented by the UW Alumni Association and Seattle Arts & Lectures. The spring talks also began airing this week on the UWTV broadcast channel.
