June 27, 2024

Daniel Wagner, Chief Scientist, Ocean Exploration Trust

Join Ocean Exploration Trust Chief Scientist as he describes the upcoming deep ocean exploration season. Between July-December 2024, the Ocean Exploration Trust and partners will conduct several multi-disciplinary expeditions aboard E/V Nautilus to explore never-before surveyed deep-sea habitats around Jarvis, American Samoa, Howland, Baker and Palau. This webinar will provide an overview of the science objectives of these expeditions, and outline how everyone can participate in these exploratory missions via telepresence technology.

This presentation is hosted by the Mokupāpapa Discovery Center, which is the visitor center for Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in Hilo, Hawaiʻi. This lecture series is also supported by the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation through a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
