SALT’s Is this our last chance? program, supported by Garanti BBVA, in collaboration with WWF-Turkey (World Wide Fund for Nature) will conclude with Derya Akkaynak’s talk titled “Değişen İklim Isınan Okyanuslar [Climate Change, Ocean Warming]” on Saturday, November 27, at 17.00.
Akkaynak, who is a scholar at Florida Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in the USA, will examine the impact of the climate crisis on oceans. Upon receiving her bachelor’s degree from Middle East Technical University, Department of Aerospace Engineering, Akkaynak completed her graduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She graduated from the dual PhD program in Mechanical Engineering and Oceanography offered by the reputable Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and MIT. During her post-doctoral fellowship at Princeton University, Akkaynak received the “Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists” in Physics and Engineering in 2019. The award was granted for her collaborative work with Dr. Tali Treibitx, an algorithm titled “sea-thru” which restores the colors of images recorded underwater.
The talk (in Turkish) will be moderated by Ayşe Oruç from WWF-Turkey and broadcast live on the youtube.com/c/saltonlineorgchannel.
