This conference brings together scholars from the humanities and the sciences to discuss the history and function of measuring and modeling techniques for the study of oceans, in general, and of the Pacific Ocean, in particular, and to connect the scientific mode of dealing with oceans and marine life with approaches from media studies, history of science, and literature. It is a cooperation of UCSB and the Institute for Advanced Studies in Media Cultures of Computer Simulations (MECS) in Lüneburg, Germany.
