“How inappropriate to call this planet ‘Earth,’ when it is clearly ‘Ocean.’”
― Arthur C. Clarke
Join me in exploring the vast and wondrous world of our ocean, which covers three quarters of Earth's surface and hold 97% of its water. This majestic ecosystem not only inspires awe and wonder, but also sustains life for nearly three billion people who rely on marine and coastal biodiversity. At the end of the four-week course, we will understand, appreciate, and protect Earth's ever-evolving ocean.
Over 500 species of sharks roam Earth’s marine ecosystems, but most people are familiar with only a few—typically the ones whose ominous dorsal fins have made it onto the silver screen. In this five-part lecture series, dive into the world of these elegant, powerful predators, exploring the diversity of life that exists across different species of sharks.
