A talk on interagency collaboration with Sarayu Ramnath
Join master’s student Sarayu Ramnath for an engaging talk about the importance of public datasets in conducting interdisciplinary environmental research. This is a free presentation in partnership with the National Science Foundation's National Center for Atmospheric Research’s “Resilient Earth, Resilient Communities” exhibit currently at the Wynn Nature Center.
Sarayu Ramnath is a master’s student at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at UC Santa Barbara. They work on two Pacific-focused climate projects: supporting a baseline environmental assessment for NOAA's Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary along the California Current, and co-authoring a climate vulnerability assessment for marine megafauna in the Eastern Tropical Pacific with Conservation International’s Save the Blue 5 initiative. Both projects leverage public datasets and collaborative research to better understand and support climate resilience in marine ecosystems.
The Wynn Nature Center is hosting a traveling earth science exhibit from the National Science Foundation's National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR). Learn how, through careful environmental observation, we gather vital information that helps us prepare for the future and build stronger, more resilient communities. The exhibit will be a combination of informational panels and interactive elements displayed in the Carl E. Wynn Visitor Center. The exhibit will be on display from July 12th through August 30th, when it will get packed up and sent to its next stop on the tour of Alaska! Come interact with the exhibit and explore how communities and scientists alike contribute to a wealth of knowledge about our planet.
