Descent to the Ocean's Depth: Climate Change and Oil Spills

Descent to the Ocean’s Depth: Climate Change and Oil Spills

Tuesday, June 27, 7-8 p.m.

Quidi Vidi Brewery

A casual Science talk with Dr. Uta Passow:
“Only the surface ocean has light which allows algae to grow. At depth live relies on the sinking of marine snow for food. Sinking marine snow also plays a vital role in climate change and transports pollutants like oil to these farthest corners of the ocean. We will explore the characteristics and role of marine snow.”
