James Bellingham on Understanding the Ocean


James Bellingham on Understanding the Ocean

Leigh Martin — February 7, 2017

Last in our video series on the Digital Ocean is James Bellingham, Founding Director of the Center for Marine Robotics at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. A pioneer in the development of high performance marine robots, James shares his perspective on the challenges of working in the ocean environment, and why now is an exciting time in the history of the world.

 

About this video series: I recently had the opportunity to chat with a few of our Strategic Advisory Board members about the critical role the Digital Ocean plays in solving global challenges from climate change to population growth; the growing optimism that we are approaching a meaningful inflection point in recognizing the ocean’s importance; and how networks of unmanned systems will help us access the data needed to build solutions.
