Longitudes of Imagination | Deep Dive with SOI
Longitude Sound Bytes podcast is bringing innovative insights from professionals around the world to you.
Presented by Longitude fellows, our third installment in the Longitudes of Imagination series is showcasing highlights from the conversations with the members of the Schmidt Ocean Institute (SOI). We are exploring the roles of individuals, technologies and research that are helping advance the understanding of our oceans!
Schmidt Ocean Institute is a philanthropic foundation established by Eric and Wendy Schmidt that is enabling scientific explorations on the research vessel Falkor at no cost to the world’s scientists. As part of the UN’s proclamation of the next decade dedicated to ocean science and sustainable development, SOI is also contributing to a worldwide effort to map the entire ocean floor by 2030. Join us in exploring the synergies that make dream work come to fruition!
