May 2, 2024 - PMEL Seminar Series
Speaker: Sam Laney, NOAA/PMEL
Title: Three Decades at the interface between ocean science and technology
Abstract: Interdisciplinary work that connects ocean science and technology brings unique challenges but also valuable rewards. As a professional introduction to my new PMEL colleagues, I will present some highlights of my 30+ years in ocean research where I either leveraged or developed new technologies and approaches to advance ocean research questions in areas such as algal ecology, polar oceanography, marine optics, ocean observing, and other areas. My emphasis will be less on the achievements and advances per se, and more on various approaches to cross-disciplinary efforts that have been effective in synergizing ocean research and technologies to enable new observations and new knowledge.
