Messy Studio: World Oceans Day Special

Jeremy B. C. Jackson: Panama, the Gulf Stream, and Europe

Dates


LIVESTREAMED

On Ocean Archive and on Ocean Space and TBA21–Academy Facebook pages

The rise of the Isthmus of Panama over the past ten million years isolated the Atlantic Ocean from the Pacific, caused massive Caribbean extinctions, and strengthened northward oceanic transport of heat from the tropics towards the Arctic. Now global warming is paradoxically slowing down that ocean circulation with uncertain consequences for European climate and fisheries. Jeremy Jackson will retrace the deep histories of the Gulf Stream to offer new insights into oceanic assemblages.

Messy Studios are peer-to-peer gatherings conceived by Territorial Agency mobilizing critical thinking and research along the interconnected narratives and ecopolitical trajectories of “Oceans in Transformation. Messy Studios engage scientists, artists, governmental and civil society groups, policy makers and conservationists to come together with the aim to forge new pathways for action and new imaginaries for the ocean.
