The ocean is not just the place where the fish live. It’s not just a giant puddle that happens to cover much of Earth’s surface. It’s a beautiful and dynamic engine that drives our world. If you know where to look, you can see the signature of that engine at work: it’s why South America had wars that were fought over bird poo, why jellyfish appear at night, and why plastic collects in the middle of the Pacific ocean rather than the edges.

Helen’s talk will dive into the real beauty of this blue engine: under the surface. Humans have been scooting about on the surface for centuries. It’s time to look properly at what’s been carrying us for all of that time.

This event also includes entry to see Luke Jerram's Gaia art work.

Venue: The Library at Southwark Cathedral, London.
Start time is 6:30pm.
