Want to sail the world to measure seismic activity at the bottom of the ocean? Detect fault zones and protect people from earthquakes and tsunamis? Or just geek out over cool rocks and the inner workings of our planet? A career in geology may be just the thing!

Join us as we talk with three people with very different jobs—all in geology—about how they got into the field and where their careers are taking them.

SPEAKERS & HOST:
Hannah Brewer, seismometer technician, WHOI
Rufus Catchings, research geophysicist, USGS
Denali Kincaid, volcanologist
Véronique LaCapra, host and Director of Special Projects, WHOI

Even on the calmest day, the ocean is constantly in motion. From powerful ocean currents to the smallest eddy, moving seawater is a key driver of the Earth system, distributing heat, nutrients, and carbon—sustaining life at every scale and shaping weather and climate around the globe.

Join three WHOI scientists for a discussion about ocean currents, how they are changing, and the implications for marine life and all of us.

SPEAKERS & HOST:
Amala Mahadevan, physical oceanographer, WHOI
Gordon Zhang, physical oceanographer, WHOI
Svenja Ryan, physical oceanographer, WHOI
Véronique LaCapra, host and Director of Special Projects, WHOI

Microbes and plankton may be small, but they have a big part to play in shaping our planet. The ocean’s smallest inhabitants form the base of marine food webs, help regulate global climate, and may hold the secrets to the origins of life on Earth. Join us as we explore “invisible” ocean life and its profound and far-reaching impacts.

SPEAKERS & HOST:
Julie Huber, marine microbiologist, WHOI
Heidi Sosik, plankton ecologist, WHOI
Nina Yang, biological oceanographer and Postdoctoral Investigator, WHOI
Véronique LaCapra, host and Director of Special Projects, WHOI
