Event Information
About this Event
Join us for a media tour of selected highlights at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. The tour will feature researchers at the Argo Lab – home of an ocean observation program that has grown to include almost 4,000 floats and participation from 26 countries across the globe. From there, the tour will take you to the Scripps Benthic Invertebrate and Marine Vertebrate Collections, where the collections managers will discuss the millions of marine specimens housed for scientific research. The final stop will be access to the Ellen Browning Scripps Pier, one of the longest research piers in the world, guided by graduate student volunteers.
