The ocean covers 70% of our planet, and the deep sea makes up about 90% of the ocean, making this the largest living space on Earth. Despite darkness, intense pressure, and extreme cold, countless species of fishes, squids, corals, octopuses, sponges, jellies, and microbes thrive in the midwaters and deep sea. Scientists deploy a remarkable array of underwater tools to make discoveries, find new species, and learn more about the enormous impact of this remote habitat on the health and well-being of our planet. This webinar reveals what scientists are learning about this mysterious and important underwater realm.

What if many brain diseases are not inevitable consequences of aging, but the likely result of decades of accumulated environmental exposure, and therefore preventable? In this interview-format webinar with audience Q&A, neurologist Dr. Ray Dorsey, co-author of The Parkinson's Plan, will discuss the likely environmental causes of Parkinson's and other brain diseases such as intellectual disabilities, ALS, dementia with Lewy bodies, and Alzheimer's. Participants will hear what the current evidence shows, what remains uncertain, and what practical steps individuals and communities can take to reduce risk.

As wildfire behavior becomes increasingly complex and unpredictable, emergency response organizations must evolve beyond systems designed for a different era. This presentation explores how Colorado is leveraging emerging technologies—including real-time geospatial awareness platforms, unmanned aircraft systems, and data-driven decision support tools—to improve responder safety, coordination, and operational effectiveness. Drawing from the Colorado Team Awareness Kit (COTAK) program and the work of the Center of Excellence for Advanced Technology Aerial Firefighting, attendees will gain insight into how innovation, technology, and organizational change are reshaping public safety and disaster response.
