Radically Expand Coastal Ocean Research through Sensors | Robinson Fulweiler | TEDxBoston

We propose a bold vision for conducting ocean science. The coastal ocean is essential to the well-being and long-term sustainability of humanity, yet our scientific knowledge on coastal ecosystems falls short. We are calling for a new model that addresses social, economic, political, and logistical factors that impede participation in coastal investigations and stewardship. Our aim is to produce a science research model that increases access to coastal ocean science through instruments and community relationships. Our new model will build on familiar tenets of the share economy developed to respond to the needs of coastal ocean research and science.

Robinson (Wally) Fulweiler is an ecosystems ecologist and biogeochemist, whose research is focused on answering fundamental questions about energy flow and biogeochemical cycling of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and silica), carbon, and oxygen in a variety of environments. She is especially interested in how anthropogenic changes affect the ecology and elemental cycling of ecosystems on a variety of scales (i.e., local nutrient loading; regional/global climate change). Current research is centered on the transformations and the ultimate fate of nitrogen in the marine environment and the impact of climate change on benthic-pelagic coupling. Dr. Fulweiler maintains the Coastal Ecology & Biogeochemistry Lab and has a joint appointment with the Department of Biology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
