Lunch & Learn: Science in the Southern Ocean
**Open to all current RISD students, faculty, and staff**
The Nature Lab's Visualization and
Imaging Research Associate, Georgia Rhodes, will present a talk about
her recent experience traveling through the Southern Ocean aboard the
RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer for a research expedition funded by the
National Science Foundation exploring how diatoms in the Southern Ocean
can provide insight into nutrient cycling and climate interactions from
past glacial periods to today.
Georgia will discuss her role leading a version of the Vis-a-thion
program on board the ship, in which she worked collaboratively with
scientists on arts-based visualizations. Food and drink will be served,
and the talk will include information about employment opportunities for
RISD students who would like to participate in the visualization
portion of this project!
