Speaker: RDML Tim Gallaudet, PhD, USN Retired. Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and Deputy NOAA Administrator.
Abstract: Over the past three years with NOAA, I have witnessed the fine women and men of our agency achieve truly tremendous accomplishments in environmental science and engineering. From deep ocean acoustics to space weather, marine biology to atmospheric chemistry, and numerical prediction to satellite engineering, our activities have been extraordinarily diverse, superior in quality, and exceedingly impactful. I will acknowledge as many of these advances as time will allow, emphasizing how the communication and application of these results have benefited every American life, every day, in a positive way.
