Cindy Clark - Director of Scripps Communications
Cindy is the contact for a scientific project in the works that needs input from our ocean technology experts.
In a nutshell, a TV producer has conceived a global art installation project with an oceans theme. It consists of launching seven, 40-foot diameter spheres into the world's oceans to bring attention to the oceans. Scripps has been invited to be a science partner with no financial obligation.
We can help validate the science value of this art/environment project. Tony Haymet is very interested in Scripps's involvement and suggests placing GPS on these spheres so they could be recoverable if lost. This is an open discussion about what scientific instrumentation is feasible and could be valuable to add to these spheres; how feasible this entire project may be; and who may be interested in taking this a step further for Scripps.
