On Wednesday, September 18 at 7:30 p.m., join WHOI’s Amala Mahadevan, Gordon Zhang,  and Svenja Ryan, all Physical Oceanographers, for a virtual event titled: “Restless Seas: How Ocean Currents Shape Weather, Climate, and Life.” Even on the calmest day, the ocean is constantly in motion. From powerful ocean currents to the smallest eddy, moving seawater is a key driver of the Earth system, distributing heat, nutrients, and carbon—sustaining life at every scale and shaping weather and climate around the globe. The event’s host will be WHOI’s Véronique LaCapra, director of special projects for Advancement. Register now. Share with your friends and family! Season Six of Ocean Encounters is an endorsed activity of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
