The aquarium will host the visit in real time in the aquarium and dive into The Oceans and Us, exploring the relationship between human impact on the planet and the changing environment. They will discuss the use of cutting-edge technology NOAA satellites and instrumentation that are being used to analyze trends in ocean temperature, currents, and patterns. They will be discussing a system called Science on Sphere (SOS Explorer App) that has a wide range of data sets and is free to download.
