Oceanographer John Delaney is leading a team to construct an underwater network of high-definition cameras and sensors. This project aims to transform our oceans into a global interactive lab, generating an abundance of data about the world below.

Delaney, a Professor of Oceanography at the University of Washington, is also Principal Investigator and Director of the Regional Scale Nodes Program, holding the Jerome M. Paros Endowed Chair in Sensor Networks. His innovative work is featured on TED.com.

John Wick and the Marin Carbon Project are developing innovative carbon farming

John Wick and the Marin Carbon Project are developing innovative carbon farming practices based on their research of the carbon cycle’s impact on soil. These practices draw down dangerous levels of atmospheric carbon and sequester that carbon in the soil where it becomes an agricultural asset. More carbon in the soil increases fertility and yields and make farms more resistant to droughts. If adopted on a global scale, carbon farming can make agriculture a driving force that will help solve the climate crisis and cool the planet.
