From the earliest days of exploration to modern day Global Positioning
System technology, navigation has played a crucial role in the discovery
of new worlds and the management of present lands and seas.
But how did we journey from navigating by the stars to travel technology by satellite? And what does the future
hold for us in the field of navigation? Marine Scientist Michael Dardeau will present a
fascinating lecture on the earliest attempts to structure navigation, as
seen in the recent A&E production of "Longitude," to where we are now, and what the future holds for travelers and adventurers of all
kinds.
The next presentation in the Dauphin Island Sea Lab Public Lecture series is:
Monday, December 4 - Dr. John Valentine, "Deltašs Dawn: The History and Ecology of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta"
