The world’s ocean has changed substantially over the last 60 years. In our next public lecture, our experts will explore and discuss the challenges and innovative approaches used to understand and predict global ocean change. It will be taking place on Monday 25 September at 17:15 at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London.
The lecture will encourage discussion around future prospects for improved measurement and prediction, and the vital importance of coordinating limited national and international resources to maintain and develop ocean monitoring and prediction systems. With best possible knowledge put forward, humanity must plan for a challenging future and engage with environmentally sustainable marine policies on a far grander scale than previously imagined.
