There will be a joint event with the AGU Thursday evening:<br /><br />"Marine Mammals at the Poles: Sentinels for Climate Change<br />Exploratorium, Pier 15, Fisher Bay Observatory<br />Free, RSVP required. Email reserve@exploratorium.edu, or call 415.528.4444 and choose option 5.<br /><br />As global temperatures slowly rise, ice caps at the north and south poles are melting. This is bad news for walruses, Weddell seals, and other animals that live on the ice. Whale species that frequent the Arctic Ocean are beginning to change their migration patterns. Join a conversation about how research on marine mammals reveals the effects of climate change on Earth’s ecosystems."<br /><br />I'm hoping Watts shows up to set those delusional scientists straight during the questions period ...<br /><br />Also, it appears that anyone in SF can go even if they're not registered for the conference (until spaces run out) though I've not tested it, being at the SMM conference.<br />dhogazanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-34374638190117499852015-12-15T18:54:40.576+11:002015-12-15T18:54:40.576+11:00I'm now able to get video as well as audio, so...I'm now able to get video as well as audio, so if you are having trouble I suggest you persevere.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-55322556761087633792015-12-15T15:56:20.389+11:002015-12-15T15:56:20.389+11:00I probably won't be posting much this year, be...I probably won't be posting much this year, because I can't access the video. AGU seems to have blocked video if it figures the bandwidth isn't sufficient. And it's set the threshold low (I can stream video from everywhere else except AGU). <br /><br />I could probably get it if I used my wifi connection instead of ADSL, but that would eat up my quota too quickly.<br /><br />Apologies for the whine, but I was so looking forward to AGU15. It's really disappointing to not have access.<br /><br />If you see sessions that you like, post a link to them in the comments.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.com
