Using the power of telepresence, Ocean Exploration Trust connects learners around the world with exciting events diving into the topics, technologies, and careers in ocean exploration. Programs introduce learners to professional explorers from the Corps of Exploration and bring the latest discoveries from expeditions straight to audiences whether at home or in school.
Meet the Team student and career features are interactive opportunities to meet early career professionals who study and work in ocean science, technology, and engineering. Learn about their pathways and explore the many possibilities in STEM careers!
From Shore to the Abyss Project Panels bring learners to coastal ecosystems to learn about exciting research projects focused on the conservation of coral reefs made possible through OET’s expedition experience alongside research teams from the National Geographic Society. Learn about these teams' passions for stewardship, cutting-edge technologies, and citizen science techniques!
Next on Nautilus expedition overviews feature the latest updates from the 2022 Nautilus expedition in the Central Pacific. Join our team to recap thrilling discoveries and preview science and technology developments you can see on Nautilus Live.

An Ocean of Sound: Mammals, Underwater Noise, and Ecosystem Health
The underwater soundscape is a critical snapshot of the world underneath the waves. Sound is essential for marine life survival - especially for marine mammals. Join our LIVE event and learn from scientists aboard E/V Nautilus how we’re investigating whale and dolphin vocalizations deploying underwater microphones in Hawaiian waters during our From Shore to the Abyss Program with the National Geographic Society.
Join OET and NGS marine mammal project team members Carissa Cabrera, Dr. Matthias Hoffmann Kuhnt, Abel Ho, and Dr. Adam Pack and get your questions answered in this interactive Project Panel event to learn more about the importance of audio in ecosystem health.
Artificial Intelligence for Shark Conservation
Sharks around the world are in decline and conservationists must find new ways to monitor their populations. Enter SharkPulse, a new tool that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to simplify and speed up shark identification to help build a worldwide observer network where everyone can take the pulse of global shark populations. Join the geniuses that turned this tantalizing tech into a reality and learn how you too can join their efforts to save sharks.
Join OET and the National Geographic Society shark project team members Kelly Koller, Dr. Sara Khalid, Jeremy Jenrette, and Dr. Francesco Ferretti in this first of the From Shore to the Abyss Project Panel live event.
Ke ʻŌlino Nei Mālamalama: HCBE in the future
Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī Coalition is proud to present the third Hawaiian History Month in 2022!

Moderator: Ka'ano‘i Walk
Hidden in the Deep: Deep Sea Microplastics Event with Ocean Wise
In this virtual session, the Ocean Exploration Trust joined Ocean Wise live from their 2022 expedition aboard the Nautilus. Featuring Science Manager Taylorann Smith, the team discuss deep sea discoveries, life on the Nautilus, and microplastics in the deep ocean.
Ocean Wise’s virtual educational programming is part of the Waves of Change program made possible with funding from the Government of Canada.
NOAA OECI Science Seminar: Exploring Volcanoes Under the Sea
The United States' exclusive economic zone in the Central Pacific is dotted with hundreds of volcanic seamounts that are home to important ecosystems and valuable mineral resources. Join NOAA’s Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute partners from the E/V Nautilus as we make the first exploration of the region around Chautauqua Seamount to uncover their secrets and learn how we explore, why we explore, and where we explore volcanoes under the sea.
The Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute (OECI) is hosting a six-part series of monthly OECI presentations as part of the NOAA Science Seminar Series. This final seminar, “NOAA OECI: Exploring Volcanoes Under the Sea”, will be streamed live, at 3pm ET on 12/15/2021.
