Spring 2015 Aquatic Academy - Ocean Exploration - Session 1

The Spring 2015 Aquatic Academy focused on ocean exploration. This series of evening courses for adults allowed participants to meet modern-day ocean explorers, learn what potential the ocean holds, from undiscovered life forms to natural resources, and which technologies might play a role in helping us better understand our World Ocean and life on our planet.

In this first session on March 3, speakers included Dr. Rick Spinrad, chief scientist at NOAA, and Lance Towers, director of Advanced Technology Programs at The Boeing Company.
