SUMMARY:Stoked on Science Conference
DESCRIPTION:Stoked on Science Conference\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Exploring Careers in Ocean Science\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join like-minded peers who are passionate about the ocean. Conduct research with leading scientists in our labs and at sea aboard the R/V Sea Explorer. Gain an understanding of the education and career pathways in ocean science. Empower yourself to advance your passion for the ocean into a career. \nAt the Stoked on Science (S.O.S.) Conference\, you’ll get the chance to hear from influential ocean scientists about their career journey and how they became experts in their field. You will also be engaging in exclusive hands-on activities reflecting each scientist’s line of work. Breakfast\, lunch and snacks will be provided as well as a S.O.S. t-shirt and goodie bag. You will rotate around the facilities with the chance to hear from each scientist both in our lab and on the boat. Join us for a fun-filled day of science and leave with an interest to explore the ocean further! \n  \nDate: August 3\, 2024 \nTime: 7:45am-3:00pm \nPrice: $70 \n  \n			\n				Tickets\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				LOOKING BACK AT 2019 Scientists\nExploring Careers in Surf Science\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dr. Jeff Nessler Professor\, California State   University\, San Marcos\n				I teach courses in Biomechanics of Human Movement and Human Motor Control in the Department of Kinesiology.  My education was a combination of mechanical engineering and movement science\, and my early research focused on gait and locomotion in individuals with neurological injury.  Recently\, I have become interested in other forms of locomotion\, particularly surfing and skateboarding\, and my research has focused on these areas.  More specifically\, paddling mechanics\, balance and wave riding in surfers. \nMy career is intellectually stimulating\, and each day is different.  I spend a lot of time reading and thinking about interesting research\, teaching it to others\, and coming up with fun experiments. \nI would like to provide important and impactful information for researchers\, athletes\, and coaches involved in surfing and skateboarding\, particularly as they begin to train athletes for the Olympics. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Matt Kibby Forecaster\, Surfline\n				 I studied at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University\, and achieved a B.S. in Meteorology with a minor in math.  Between growing up in\, around and on the ocean\, and becoming quite the weather nerd in my college years\, my career as a Forecaster at Surfline is extraordinary.  I can combine two of my biggest passions. \nAs a Forecaster\, I am responsible for surf reports and forecasts along the West Coast of the U.S. and Hawaii\, as well as various international locations.  In addition\, I perform statistical analysis of historical surf reports\, and model data for use in long term forecasts and climatological studies. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dr. Phil Bresnahan   Research Engineer\, Scripps Institution of Oceanography\, UC San D iego\n				 I build tools (sensors and robots) to measure ocean chemistry—especially changes to ocean chemistry resulting from pollution.  Right now\, my favorite instrument to work on is called Smartfin; it’s a surfboard fin with sensors embedded in it to measure temperature\, wave motion and position (GPS).  We distribute Smartfins to surfers around the world to study their local home breaks\, and become more engaged in stewardship and protection of the waves they love. \nI would like to help scientists learn how to make stronger connections with their communities.  There is so much scientific information that most people don’t know—partly because we’re learning new things all the time\, but partly because scientists don’t always know how to connect with non-scientists.  I think it would be awesome to help a few more scientists\, especially those doing environmental work\, to figure out what they have in common with their community members outside of the lab. \nPeople come up to me all the time to ask why my fin is blinking and if it scares sharks away.  I do not know about the second part but to the first\, I tell them it’s because I’m collecting data while I surf! \n			\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		 \n	\n	\n		\n		 \n	\n\n\n	\n		\n		 \n	\n	\n		\n		 \n	\n\n\n \n\n	Captcha  + 59 = 68\n	 \n\n\n Δ

SUMMARY:Hōkūleʻa Dockside Canoe Tours
DESCRIPTION:FREE TO THE PUBLIC \nHōkūle’a Dockside Canoe Tours\nCome aboard the legendary Hōkūleʻa and meet the crew circumnavigating the Pacific on the Moananuiākea Voyage. \n			\n				RSVP HERE!\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About Hōkūleʻa and the Moananuiākea Voyage: \nThe Hōkūleʻa is a symbol of the Hawaiian cultural renaissance and a vessel that pays homage to the ancient Polynesian navigators who used the stars\, winds\, and natural signs to navigate the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. The Hōkūleʻa has been instrumental in reviving and preserving traditional Polynesian navigation techniques. \n\n\n\nThe Moananuiākea Voyage was an expedition that began in 2013 and aimed to sail around the world using traditional navigation methods. The voyage sought to promote environmental sustainability and raise awareness about the importance of protecting the world’s oceans. It also aimed to reconnect indigenous communities across the Pacific and share knowledge about traditional navigation and stewardship of the ocean. \n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Hōkūleʻa\n\nOn March 8\, 1975\, Hōkūle‘a\, a performance-accurate deep sea voyaging canoe built in the tradition of ancient Hawaiian wa‘a kaulua (double-hulled voyaging canoe)\, was launched from the sacred shores of Hakipu‘u-Kualoa\, in Kāne‘ohe Bay on the island of O‘ahu. She was designed by artist and historian Herb Kawainui Kāne\, one of the founders of the Polynesian Voyaging Society. The canoe was named Hōkūle‘a (“Star of Gladness”)\, a zenith star of Hawai‘i\, which appeared to him growing ever brighter in a dream. This launching was one of many events that marked a generation of renewal for Hawai‘i’s indigenous people. \nFun Facts: \n\nBuilt in Honolulu\, Hawaiʻi and launched on March 8\, 1975\nHas sailed over 140\,000 nautical miles across the Pacific\nLength: 62 feet\nWidth: 20 feet\n\nRead more here… \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nPolynesian Voyaging Society Mission: \n\n\n\n\nFounded in 1973\, the Polynesian Voyaging Society’s mission is to perpetuate the art and science of traditional Polynesian voyaging and the spirit of exploration through experiential educational programs that inspire students and their communities to respect and care for themselves\, each other\, and their natural and cultural environments. \nThrough voyaging\, PVS hopes to inspire humanity to care for the earth by highlighting the vital importance of oceans\, indigenous knowledge\, communities\, education\, and sustainability. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This visit is in partnership with: \nPolynesian Voyaging Society\, Ocean Institute\, Olukai\, Ama Olukai Foundation

My education was a combination of mechanical engineering and movement science\, and my early research focused on gait and locomotion in individuals with neurological injury.  Recently\, I have become interested in other forms of locomotion\, particularly surfing and skateboarding\, and my research has focused on these areas.  More specifically\, paddling mechanics\, balance and wave riding in surfers. \nMy career is intellectually stimulating\, and each day is different.  I spend a lot of time reading and thinking about interesting research\, teaching it to others\, and coming up with fun experiments. \nI would like to provide important and impactful information for researchers\, athletes\, and coaches involved in surfing and skateboarding\, particularly as they begin to train athletes for the Olympics. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Matt Kibby Forecaster\, Surfline\n				 I studied at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University\, and achieved a B.S. in Meteorology with a minor in math.  Between growing up in\, around and on the ocean\, and becoming quite the weather nerd in my college years\, my career as a Forecaster at Surfline is extraordinary.  I can combine two of my biggest passions. \nAs a Forecaster\, I am responsible for surf reports and forecasts along the West Coast of the U.S. and Hawaii\, as well as various international locations.  In addition\, I perform statistical analysis of historical surf reports\, and model data for use in long term forecasts and climatological studies. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dr. Phil Bresnahan   Research Engineer\, Scripps Institution of Oceanography\, UC San D iego\n				 I build tools (sensors and robots) to measure ocean chemistry—especially changes to ocean chemistry resulting from pollution.  Right now\, my favorite instrument to work on is called Smartfin; it’s a surfboard fin with sensors embedded in it to measure temperature\, wave motion and position (GPS).  We distribute Smartfins to surfers around the world to study their local home breaks\, and become more engaged in stewardship and protection of the waves they love. \nI would like to help scientists learn how to make stronger connections with their communities.  There is so much scientific information that most people don’t know—partly because we’re learning new things all the time\, but partly because scientists don’t always know how to connect with non-scientists.  I think it would be awesome to help a few more scientists\, especially those doing environmental work\, to figure out what they have in common with their community members outside of the lab. \nPeople come up to me all the time to ask why my fin is blinking and if it scares sharks away.  I do not know about the second part but to the first\, I tell them it’s because I’m collecting data while I surf! \n			\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		 \n	\n	\n		\n		 \n	\n\n\n	\n		\n		 \n	\n	\n		\n		 \n	\n\n\n \n\n	Captcha  + 73 = 80\n	 \n\n\n Δ

My education was a combination of mechanical engineering and movement science\, and my early research focused on gait and locomotion in individuals with neurological injury.  Recently\, I have become interested in other forms of locomotion\, particularly surfing and skateboarding\, and my research has focused on these areas.  More specifically\, paddling mechanics\, balance and wave riding in surfers. \nMy career is intellectually stimulating\, and each day is different.  I spend a lot of time reading and thinking about interesting research\, teaching it to others\, and coming up with fun experiments. \nI would like to provide important and impactful information for researchers\, athletes\, and coaches involved in surfing and skateboarding\, particularly as they begin to train athletes for the Olympics. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Matt Kibby Forecaster\, Surfline\n				 I studied at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University\, and achieved a B.S. in Meteorology with a minor in math.  Between growing up in\, around and on the ocean\, and becoming quite the weather nerd in my college years\, my career as a Forecaster at Surfline is extraordinary.  I can combine two of my biggest passions. \nAs a Forecaster\, I am responsible for surf reports and forecasts along the West Coast of the U.S. and Hawaii\, as well as various international locations.  In addition\, I perform statistical analysis of historical surf reports\, and model data for use in long term forecasts and climatological studies. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dr. Phil Bresnahan   Research Engineer\, Scripps Institution of Oceanography\, UC San D iego\n				 I build tools (sensors and robots) to measure ocean chemistry—especially changes to ocean chemistry resulting from pollution.  Right now\, my favorite instrument to work on is called Smartfin; it’s a surfboard fin with sensors embedded in it to measure temperature\, wave motion and position (GPS).  We distribute Smartfins to surfers around the world to study their local home breaks\, and become more engaged in stewardship and protection of the waves they love. \nI would like to help scientists learn how to make stronger connections with their communities.  There is so much scientific information that most people don’t know—partly because we’re learning new things all the time\, but partly because scientists don’t always know how to connect with non-scientists.  I think it would be awesome to help a few more scientists\, especially those doing environmental work\, to figure out what they have in common with their community members outside of the lab. \nPeople come up to me all the time to ask why my fin is blinking and if it scares sharks away.  I do not know about the second part but to the first\, I tell them it’s because I’m collecting data while I surf! \n			\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		 \n	\n	\n		\n		 \n	\n\n\n	\n		\n		 \n	\n	\n		\n		 \n	\n\n\n \n\n	Captcha 18 +  = 24\n	 \n\n\n Δ

SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Series: Carlos Gauna
DESCRIPTION:The Ocean Institute’s Distinguished Speaker Series\, presented by the Nicholas Endowment\, brings interesting innovations\, real-world research\, exotic experiences\, and delightful discoveries to the surface through powerful presentations from an ocean of experts. Speakers present on a variety of topics that align with our monthly themes. \n\nAdmission includes light snacks and refreshments.  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Distinguished Speaker: Carlos Gauna\nGauna will talk about the process of filming white sharks\, from finding them to understanding their behaviors. His presentation will offer live time observations into the nature of these animals\, with a plethora of locally filmed material! He will also speak on how his observations are becoming a part of a greater picture in data collection on various shark species\, underscoring the benefit of citizen science. In addition to the science\, Gauna will give a ‘behind the scenes’ description of the filming and editing process in his artwork\, along with examples of the various types of equipment he uses. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Wednesday\, November 1 \n6:00pm – 8:30pm \nDoors open at 5:30pm \nGeneral – $10 \nMembers – FREE \nStudents (with valid ID) – FREE \n			\n				Tickets\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 About Carlos \nCarlos Gauna\, locally known as The Malibu Artist\, is a photographer\, observer\, and ocean advocate. After COVID limited job opportunities as a wedding photographer\, Gauna began aerial filming the famed Malibu coastline. His work now involves filming the little-known lives of Californias’ great white sharks by drone. Through countless hours of filming\, his art has bridged into the realm of science\, a testament to the growing importance of citizen science. Thanks to the videos captured by Gauna\, Calfiornias’ white sharks are getting the recognition deserved as ecologically important and misunderstood animals. He has submitted much of his observations and footage to scientists all over\, helping them accumulate the data to understand and protect these species. In addition to sharks\, Gauna has documented the behavior of marine mammals\, sea birds\, and rare open ocean fish. His work is generously available to all on YouTube (@TheMalibuArtist)\, with thousands of hours of film and observation.
