Polar seminar: Camila Fernández

🌊 Today at the Museum: Exploring the Oceanography of Extremes with Dr. Camila Fernández 🌍

This afternoon, we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Camila Fernández to the museum for an inspiring and thought-provoking talk titled:
"Oceanography of Extremes: How Studying Remote Areas and Extreme Events Can Help Society to Adapt." 🧭❄️

In her presentation, Dr. Fernández shared her experiences researching some of the most remote and challenging environments on Earth and highlighted how these extreme settings offer unique insights into the planet's natural dynamics. By studying these areas, scientists can better understand how ecosystems respond to environmental stress, climate change, and sudden disturbances.

She also emphasized how this knowledge can directly benefit society, providing valuable information for climate adaptation, sustainable management of natural resources, and future risk mitigation strategies. 🌡️🌪️🌱

The audience, including students, researchers, and ocean enthusiasts, engaged with Dr. Fernández in a lively Q&A session. Her passion for oceanography and her ability to connect complex scientific ideas with real-world challenges truly inspired everyone present.
