SEASCAPE GOLF COURSE MONARCH ROOM
LUNCHEON PROGRAM:
Our speaker will be John Ryan from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. His presentation will be “Hearing the lives of Earth’s largest animals”.
In the sonic realm of the sea, magnificent and massive animals use sound to communicate, socialize, forage, navigate, reproduce, and transmit culture. In this brief exploration, we’ll take a deep dive into the ocean’s world of sound — immersing in the powerful songs of Earth’s largest animals and exploring dimensions of their phenomenal lives that are revealed in the vibrations that sound carries.
John Ryan received the PhD degree in biological oceanography from the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography in 1998, with support from an Office of Naval Research fellowship. He came to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship… more than a quarter century ago. Appreciating the science~engineering collaborations inherent to MBARI, John has remained there and is now a Senior Research Specialist. His research explores ecosystem processes that shape oceanic life, from blooms of microscopic algae to behavior of gigantic whales.
