PEANUT BUTTER CLUB AT WOODS HOLE OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTION (WHOI) : Presents a book talk by author Dallas Murphy and videographer Ben Harden on Friday, December 13, at noon in Redfield Auditorium, 45 Water Street, Woods Hole, MA. Dallas Murphy will talk about his new book To The Denmark Strait , a firsthand account of a modern oceanographic adventure. Dallas Murphy accompanies WHOI oceanographer Robert Pickart aboard the research vessel Knorr on an expedition to affirm the existence and origin of a previously unknown oceanic current between Greenland and Iceland. Learning about this current helps us grasp the mechanisms that move oceans, and which ultimately power worldwide weather systems. To The Denmark Strait offers a complete multimedia experience of a scientific sea voyage: the vivid narratives of Murphy’s daily at-sea journals are illuminated by clear explanations of the cutting-edge oceanography that propels the expedition. Stunning photographs of the Denmark Strait and dramatic videos of life aboard the Knorr animate the experience, augmenting the text with the sights, sounds and motion of science brought to life. Books will be available for purchase after the talk. Sponsored by the WHOI Information Office. Coffee, tea, and cookies served. Donations accepted.
