MIAMI—As the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science enters its 75th year of scientific discovery, it brings the South Florida community another great lineup of speakers on the latest scientific research and exploration of our planet during the 2018 Sea Secrets, a series of evening lectures designed for the non-scientific community. Each lecture will take place at the UM Rosenstiel School auditorium, 4600 Rickenbacker Causeway on Virginia Key and begin with a reception at 6:30p.m. and program at 7:00 p.m.

On Tuesday, Jan. 23 UM Rosenstiel School Professor Martin Grosell will present his talk “In the Wake of an Environmental Disaster – Is There a Silver Lining?” in which he will discuss what was learned from the extensive research effort that took place following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill. Grosell is the lead Principal Investigator and Director of RECOVER (Relationships of Effects of Cardiac Outcomes in fish for Validation of Ecological Risk).
