In 1963, Dr. Walter Munk and colleagues at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego conducted an experiment tracing the course of waves and wave energy from their origins in Antarctica to the shores of Alaska. Waves Across the Pacific (1967), produced as part of the National Science Foundation sponsored Lamont-Columbia University Marine Science film series, "The Earth and the Sea," documents their innovative efforts to trace how waves move across the globe. Join the Buffett Institute’s Shifting Shorelines Global Working Group for a screening and discussion.
