Prof Cesar Jung-Harada: International Ocean Stations

The ocean is where all life comes from and our future depends on it. Especially in the case of Singapore as an island city-state, sea-level rise and ocean health will have massive implications. In the Exhibition at ArtScience Museum, Cesar presents an imaginative vision of the future in which sea-levels have risen significantly, and we have adapted using ancient knowledge, innovative technology, and the imagination of children. In this talk and expanded Q&A, Cesar will present the exhibition materials, and discuss with the audience about potential futures for Singapore and a warmer world.
