Extreme heat on land—and in the ocean
Speakers: Dr. Glen Gawarkiewicz, Physical Oceanographer, WHOI

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 us for a discussion about the links between the atmosphere and ocean, why heat waves are on the rise, and what it means for our ocean planet.
