Antarctic Whale Science: How Do Humpbacks Find Their Food? With Professor Mike Coffin
2022-07-19 18:30 - 20:00 | Abbott Room
Scientists tagging humpback whale near Neko Harbor, Antarctica.
Humpback whales feed mainly on krill and small fish, but how these 25,000 – 30,000 kg baleen cetaceans find sufficient food for sustenance without echolocation remains a mystery. An ongoing, multi-year, science-industry collaboration is attempting to solve this conundrum by testing the hypothesis that an engimatic organ beneath the lower jaw of humpbacks senses chemicals associated with plankton consumption by krill. This presentation focuses on the inaugural collaborative expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula in March 2019, including a 30-minute film encompassing both scientific and tourism activities.
Marine geophysicist Mike Coffin investigates interactions between the oceanic environment and the solid Earth. After growing up in Bangor, he was educated Dartmouth College (AB) and Columbia University (MA, MPhil, PhD). Ever since, he has pursued an international career that reflects the boundless nature of the global ocean. He has worked in Australia (1985-1989; 2011-present), the US (1990-2001), Japan (2001-2007), and the UK (2008-2010). He has also held visiting positions in the US (1982, 2002, 2016-present), Norway (1992, 1996), Australia (2000), and France (2001). Mike has led or participated in 37 blue-water research expeditions, focused mainly in the Southern, Pacific, and Indian oceans.

Dialogue Series with Michael Shell
2022-08-01 07:00 - 20:30 | Abbott Room
“How can we hospice the death of the old structures and systems while we mid-wife the birth of the new?”

Please join us August 1, 7pm for the 3rd installment in a series of 5 dialogues into systems. Hosted by Michael Shell
We all know our current systems and structures are crumbling. Governments, businesses, hospitals, justice systems, schools and other forms of top-down structures are no longer sustainable, and perhaps never have been. These were put into place to create reliable and predictable outcomes and maintain the status quo. We are being challenged today to upgrade our thinking, create new narratives, become more adaptive, and appreciate the interconnection of systems in which we live. But how do we make this change? People want their work to have purpose. They want to know they are contributing to new systems and communities that sustain life rather than harm it. Join this interactive and emergent conversation and get inspired to make positive changes in your individual and collective lives.
