SUMMARY:Discovery Lecture Series - August 5
DESCRIPTION:John Calambokidis\, Research Biologist\, Cascadia Research \nThe amazing underwater world of blue and humpback whales: new tags provide insights into their lives and the threats they face \nJohn Calambokidis of Cascadia Research has studied blue and humpback whales off California for 30 years. Starting with photographic identification of individual whales that now allows Cascadia to track most of the animals that feed off the US West Coast. More recently he has been using various types of tags to open up the underwater world of these animals. This has included video cameras that provide unique views of how these animals feed and interact underwater. These tags have also become powerful new tools for examining the threats whales face off California allowing an examination of how they respond to Navy sonar or the close approach of ships. The talk will trace some of the evolution of this research\, the new insights it is providing into the underwater lives of whales\, and will include some unique underwater videos of whales. \nJohn Calambokidis is a Senior Research Biologist and one of the founders of Cascadia Research Collective\, a non-profit research organization formed in 1979 based in Olympia\, Washington. He periodically (1991-2013) serves as an Adjunct Faculty at the Evergreen State College teaching a course on marine mammals. His primary interests are the biology of marine mammals and the impacts of humans. He has served as Project Director of over 100 projects. He has authored two books on marine mammals (on blue whales and a guide to marine mammals) as well as more than 150 publications in scientific journals and technical reports.

SUMMARY:Discovery Lecture Series - February 5
DESCRIPTION:The Vast Frontier: Tales From the Darkside\n Presented by Mike Schaadt\, Director of Cabrillo Marine Aquarium \n\nThe ocean provides 99% of the living space on our planet and most of it is hundreds of feet of water column in the open oc \nean. Virtually every taxonomic group on earth has a representative that lives in this vast living space. Scientific studies of this important area of our planet are woefully lacking. What we do know is helping us determine what actions people can take to keep the oceans healthy. \nMike Schaadt\, a life-long Southern Californian\, is Director of Cabrillo Marine Aquarium (CMA). He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Marine Biology and a Master’s degree in Biology from CSU Long Beach. Mike has been involved in formal and informal marine science education for more than 35 years. Mike has taught biology at local community colleges and brings to his job a strong background in science education. He has authored or co-authored over a dozen journal publications/book chapters and three books. He has a keen interest in finding novel ways to motivate people to learn about and care for the oceans. His research interest is the natural history of plankton with special emphasis on deepsea forms. \nClick here for teacher resources related to this lecture. \nPlease RSVP to: lecture@cmaqua.org
