Webinar: Mary Sears & The Race to Solve The Ocean
In World War II, victory in the Pacific depended on strategy, bravery and military might. It also depended on knowledge of the ocean. Learn about an American marine scientist named Mary Sears who, along with a team of fellow marine biologists and WAVEs, researched the sites of proposed amphibious landings and prepared detailed oceanographic intelligence reports for the Navy. Join Dr. Kate Musemeche as she recounts the story of Mary Sears and the team of marine biologists at the Navy's Hydrographic Office in their race against Axis Powers to solve the ocean.
"I thoroughly enjoyed this webinar and look forward to future programs. Everything about the
webinar was professional and engrossing. Thank you to all concerned." -Patrick Carmichael
