Dr Fiona Grant from the Marine Institute will give a talk at the ‘Women and the Sea’ symposium on the topic “Putting Eyes in the Deep Ocean”. Fiona began her studies in geology before going on to specialise in marine geophysics and earth system dynamics. Her first job was as conservation coordinator for wild salmon and sea trout before taking responsibility for research infrastructures in the Marine Institute. Her talk will focus on some of the challenges in observing the deep ocean environment, how to harness ocean energy in Galway Bay and present some of the latest results from studies in the Atlantic Ocean.
