5. “Connecting to your Coastal Cable Network” with Hayley Brazier California's Eroding Coastline
-
- Education
On this episode, I talk with Hayley Brazier. Hayley and I embark offshore as we discuss the coastal sea and how underwater cables, and undersea constructions, destabilize coastal environments. We discuss the history of the ocean floor the place where many of our most valuable technologies sit yet where we do not live. Hayley reminds us that the seas, rivers, and land are not as separate, distinct, and disconnected environments as we have come to believe.
Hayley is a PhD Candidate in the Department of History at the University of Oregon and the Curator of Natural History at the High Desert Museum. Her research is situated at the nexus of environmental history and public history, the study of water resources, public lands, and the build environment. Her dissertation examines the historical development of ocean-bottom technologies along the northeast Pacific seafloor.
Many thanks to the Bilinski foundation and the Bilinski fellowship at Bodega Bay Marine Lab for providing the funding that made this series possible.
