Annually the directors of the major bluewater ocean science institutions meet as the Partnership for Observation of the Global Ocean (POGO  http://www.ocean-partners.org ).  On 7 January 2009 Jesse addressed the group about Advances & Challenges in Global Observing Systems for Marine Life drawing on technologies advanced by the Census of Marine Life research program (http://www.coml.org ) .

Caution: the pdf of the 51-slide presentation is 14 MB.

2 December 2008 Jesse presented a seminar on the question “Is Richer Greener?” at the request of Rockefeller University graduate students. We post the slides from the talk, which was jointly prepared with new PHE research assistant Smriti Rao, who imaginatively updated several figures prepared as part of our work on dematerialization and the ImPACT Identity.

We post Jesse’s keynote talk, “On the Difficulty of Seeing What is Near”, delivered to the 2006 Kobe , Japan , conference of the Census of Marine Life on life in the near-shore marine environment

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s Banbury Conference Center hosted the pair of meetings in 2003 that gave birth to the DNA barcoding movement. Jesse opened the “Banbury III” meeting 28 October 2007 on “Using Barcode Data in Studies of Molecular and Evolutionary Dynamics” with a talk on “Telescopes, Microscopes, Macroscopes and DNA Barcodes.”

On 16 April Jesse delivers “The Future Environment for Energy Business” to the APPEA conference in Adelaide. Here are the figures.

On 24 April 2006 Jesse gave an expanded version of his Industrial Physicist paper about Big Green Energy Machines on zero-emission power plants and the supergrid for joint distribution of hydrogen and electricity at the Goddard Space Flight Center. We post the text of the talk and figures.

We post the text (but not slides and movies) from Jesse’s talk “How to Census Marine Life” delivered in Venice 15 June 2006 under the auspices of the European Regional Implementation Committee for the Census of Marine Life (Euro-CoML) and Telecom Italia’s Progetto Italia.

The festival in Washington DC celebrating the nature films of Jacques Perrin opened last night with an event highlighting Galatee’s new Oceans Project. We post Jesse’s Welcoming Remarks to Jacques Perrin.

We post Jesse’s “Nuclear and Renewable Heresies”, delivered as a plenary address to the Canadian Nuclear Association 10 March 2005 in Ottawa.

On 22 June Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, received the first Millennium Technology Prize [www.technologyawards.org] (1 million Euros) in Helsinki. Jesse was one of the speakers at the accompanying symposium. His remarks on Big Green Energy Machines were reported in the main Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat [part 1, [part 2]. We thank Pekka Kauppi for a translation to English. The Suomen Kuvalehti (”Newsweek in Finland”) also ran a story that highlights both ZEPPs and the Continental Supergrid [part 1, part 2].
