Earth Talks: Exploring the Oceans seminar series is being developed to engage the Penn State community in marine research. Marine research is a highly interdisciplinary field that spans the wide breadth of Penn State's departments, colleges, and institutes. This seminar series is sponsored by EESI and PSIEE in conjunction with the Center for Marine Science and Technology. Typical seminar format will be two 20-min talks each week, except in the cases where invited speakers from off-campus will present a 45-min presentation. The presentation slots are open to all Penn State faculty, researchers, and graduate students conducting research in the marine environment. Our hope is to schedule 2 different ocean topics within each seminar to attract those with diverse interests to listen, learn, and network. The seminar will cover topics from coastal to deep water environments, ocean technology, and ocean modelling.
