Oceanographer Ed Dever will describe us of the Ocean Observatories Initiative at the Hatfield Marine Science Center (2030 S.E. Marine Science Dr., in the South Beach area of Newport) in the Guin Library Seminar Room at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 5.  The talk is free and open to the public.

Dr. Dever is a professor in the department of College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University who specializes in the physics of the ocean and atmosphere.  His topic is “How to Access Multidisciplinary Time Series Data from the Ocean Observatories Initiative.”

Here is his summary of his subject matter:

“The Ocean Observatories Initiative is long term NSF-funded project to provide multidisciplinary observations for research and education.  The OOI currently operates arrays in the North Pacific (Station Papa, Regional Cabled Array and Coastal Endurance Array) and North Atlantic (Irminger Sea and Coastal Pioneer Array).  In this talk, I will describe the types of data available from the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) and several ways to access these data.  I will focus on the OOI Endurance Array off Washington and Oregon operated by Oregon State Univ.  For more help in accessing the OOI data, Craig Risien and I will be at HMSC from 10-4 on 6 March.  We are happy to arrange additional one-on-one meetings to suit your schedule.” 

The talk is part of the HMSC Seminar Series.  All of these presentations are free and open to the public.
