Tracking Trash: Flotsam, Jetsam and the Science of Ocean Motion November 18, 2007

For years, oceanographers have used drifting objects to study ocean movement. Join author Loree Griffin Burns as she tells the story of real scientists who track the trash spilled into the ocean --from
sneakers to rubber ducks that have drifted thousands of miles from the Pacific Ocean across the Arctic and into the Atlantic. Find out what they've discovered -- and how they're using this scientific data to
better understand and protect Earth's oceans.

This event is FREE with museum admission. No RSVP needed!
