Film and Post-Film Discussion Wave Power: The Potential of Oregon's Ocean Energy is a film directed by Oregon Sea Grant which explores the new technology breakthroughs in converting the natural power of waves to a usable energy source. It compares some of the techniques for harnessing ocean currents and vertical waves. Also included is a discusson by Hawaii scientists who are currently exploring this new fuel source.
The film will be followed by a discussion on Hawaii's wave energy potential.

Events involving C-MORE
The Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE) is a recently established (August 2006) NSF-sponsored Science and Technology Center designed to facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the diverse assemblages of microorganisms in the sea, ranging from the genetic basis of marine microbial biogeochemistry including the metabolic regulation and environmental controls of gene expression, to the processes that underpin the fluxes of carbon, related bioelements and energy in the marine environment.
