Uncovering the Ocean's Secrets

For two decades (and counting), Susan Casey has embedded with marine scientists as they endeavor to solve the ocean’s many mysteries. Is the giant squid a ferocious predator or a shy opportunist? What is it like at the bottom of the Mariana Trench? Why are ancient marine microbes the source of our next-generation medicines? Did life begin at a deep-sea hydrothermal vent? In this talk, Casey unveils the latest discoveries and the technologies making them possible—and explains why a deeper understanding of the undersea world is essential if we hope to thrive in the world above.

Book Signing

Immediately following the lecture, there will be a book signing with Susan Casey. A limited number of the speaker’s books will be available for purchase at the venue.

This event is free to attend with registration.
