Forum: The life, sound and history of oceans


Forum: The life, sound and history of oceans. Paul Snelgrove, Annea Lockwood, Andrew Lambert 03 Sep 2011

The latest technology is allowing us to view ocean depths not just in real time but over long periods and gives us a continuous picture of the dramas unfolding down there. Paul Snelgrove from the Ocean Sciences Centre at Memorial University in Newfoundland is at the forefront of research which has been revolutionised by these new developments. For composer and sound artist Annea Lockwood the unique rhythm of water running in great rivers like the Danube and the Hudson has the power not only to enchant us but to connect us more deeply to nature. Back on the sea surface historian Andrew Lambert tells us about the forgotten naval war of 1812 and explains how it shaped the national cultures of the US, Canada and Britain.
