Administrative Voice

For decades, scientific exchange has been an effective vehicle for sustained interaction among nations, even during periods of heightened diplomatic tensions. The ocean and atmospheric sciences in particular have long been areas of vibrant international collaboration, because the effective understanding of the physics of the world’s oceans, climate and weather patterns, and the associated impacts to life on our planet, requires measurement and modeling programs that cross political boundaries and span vast distances. We will discuss some of these programs, with a particular focus on collaborations between UH-Mānoa and Chinese institutions.

Michael BRUNO is the Provost at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, where he was previously Vice Chancellor for Research. His research and teaching interests include ocean observation systems, climate change, and community resilience. He is the author of more than 100 technical publications in various aspects of these fields, including the book The Urban Ocean, published by Cambridge University Press in 2018. He holds a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering from the New Jersey Institute of Technology, a M.S. degree in Civil Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley, and a PhD degree in Civil and Ocean Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in Oceanography/Applied Ocean Science & Engineering.
