Ocean Encounters: Heatwaves! Extreme Heat on Land — and in the Ocean

Event Date: 
September 21, 2022

This summer was another hot one for many, with long, sweltering stretches of higher-than-usual temperatures — and not just on land. Heatwaves are also sweeping the ocean, with implications for marine life and the people who depend on it.

Join the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for "Ocean Encounters: Heatwaves! Extreme Heat on Land — and in the Ocean," a virtual discussion about the links between the atmosphere and ocean, why heat waves are on the rise, and what it means for our ocean planet.

When: Wednesday, September 21, 2022; 7:30-8:30 p.m. ET

Speakers:

  • Dr. Glen Gawarkiewicz, Physical Oceanographer, WHOI
  • Dr. Svenja Ryan, Physical Oceanographer, WHOI
  • Dr. Jennifer Francis, Atmospheric Scientist, Woodwell Climate Research Center

Ocean Encounters is an ongoing virtual series from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
