About this talk
April 2010 – Stanford's Rob Dunbar speaks in the Galapagos as part of TED's Mission Blue Voyage to protect the ocean. Dr. Dunbar hunts for data on our climate from 12,000 years ago, finding clues inside ancient seabeds and corals and inside ice sheets. His work is vital in setting baselines for fixing our current climate -- and in tracking the rise of deadly ocean acidification.
About Rob Dunbar
Rob Dunbar looks deeply at ancient corals and sediments to study how the climate and the oceans have shifted over the past 50 to 12,000 years -- and how the Antarctic ecosystem is changing right now.
