Posted: Thursday, November 19, 2009Upcoming Great Lakes Center Seminars
The Great Lakes Center presents several seminars over the course of the academic year. The next seminar, “Acoustics of Pelagic Fish Schools,” will be presented on Thursday, November 19, at noon in Classroom Building B118.
Thomas R. Hahn, assistant professor of applied marine physics at the University of Miami, will present a series of theoretical and practical developments in active and passive low-frequency acoustics of pelagic fish. These developments may have applications to research in the Great Lakes. Hahn’s research focuses on practical and basic problems in underwater acoustics, and he has published numerous articles.
On Monday, December 7, Gregory L. Boyer, professor of biochemistry at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, will present “Toxic Cyanobacteria in the Great Lakes: Problems, Issues, and Solutions.” Boyer has traveled around the world studying cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae. The presentation will be held from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. in Upton Hall 230.
The campus community is invited. Light refreshments will be available.
