Australia has been at the forefront of climate applications research for decades, particularly in relation to the rural sector. We found that participatory, stakeholder driven R&D that combines climate science with quantitative simulation tools can lead to better risk management and policies. Here we report on the global relevance of lessons learned in Australia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11.04.2004 :: Nathaniel Philbrick. Sea of Glory: America's Voyage of Discover, the U.S. Exploring Expedition, 1838-1842 3:00 p.m. 258 Mary Gates Hall In 1838, the U.S. government launched the largest discovery voyage the Western world had ever seen. Four years later, the U.S. Exploring Expedition (Ex. Ex.) returned with an astounding array of accomplishments and discoveries: 87,000 miles logged, 280 Pacific islands surveyed, 4,000 zoological specimens collected, including 2,000 new species, and the discovery of the continent of Antarctica. And yet at a human level, the project was a disaster-not only had 28 men died and 2 ships been lost, but a series of sensational courts-martial had also ensued that pitted the expedition's controversial leader, Lieutenant Charles Wilkes, against almost every officer under his command. Nathaniel Philbrick is author of the National Book Award-winning bestseller In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex. Co-sponsored by the College of Ocean and Fishery Sciences and the School of Marine Affairs, the Department of History, and the Program on the Environment.

Sea of Glory: America's Voyage of Discovery, the U.S. Exploring Expedition, 1838-1842. 7:30 p.m. 110 Kane Hall In 1838, the U.S. government launched the largest discovery voyage the Western world had ever seen. Four years later, the U.S. Exploring Expedition (Ex. Ex.) returned with an astounding array of accomplishments and discoveries: 87,000 miles logged, 280 Pacific islands surveyed, 4,000 zoological specimens collected, including 2,000 new species, and the discovery of the continent of Antarctica. And yet at a human level, the project was a disaster-not only had 28 men died and 2 ships been lost, but a series of sensational courts-martial had also ensued that pitted the expedition's controversial leader, Lieutenant Charles Wilkes, against almost every officer under his command. Though comparable in importance and breadth of success to the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the Ex. Ex. has been largely forgotten. Nathaniel Philbrick combines meticulous history with spellbinding human drama as the Ex. Ex. circles the globe from the palm-fringed beaches of the South Pacific to the treacherous waters off Antarctica and to the stunning beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Nathaniel Philbrick, author of the National Book Award-winning bestseller In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex, is director of the Egan Institute of Maritime Studies and a research fellow at the Nantucket Historical Association.
