Heidi Dierssen, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Marine Sciences, University of Connecticut
Rethinking the Blue Marble – the Colour of the Sea and Sky
Tuesday, March 8, 2022, Lecture begin at 7:30 p.m.
We are beginning to fully comprehend how changes in the coupled ocean and atmosphere together produce extreme weather events like the recent tornados in Kansas, droughts and wildfires in California and hurricanes along the Eastern seaboard. The ocean and the atmosphere are thousands of times wider than they are thick — like thin pages in a book. Their behaviors are intimately connected, but the two fluids are often monitored and studied as different chapters rather than woven together in a single story. NASA’s upcoming Plankton Aerosol Cloud and ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite scheduled to launch in 2024 is the first mission designed by a team of atmospheric and oceanic scientists led by Dr. Heidi Dierssen here at the University of Connecticut. Join us to hear about this exciting new initiative!
