Speaker: Dan Eckert - Time Lapse Photographer

Dan became a producer of time lapse videos in the early days starting with 8mm film. He captures ordinary views abundant around us in artistic ways blending 3D objects in time and space!

An example of Hyperlapse photography and Dan’s Camtrac can be see at this link https://vimeo.com/266894250

Sam will tell the story of how fire protection engineers and fire service professionals worked with the Army Air Force and the Royal Air Force during WWII to plan the firebombing of German and Japanese industrial and population centers.

Friday February 19^th Noon to 1PM

Speaker: Hans K Van Tilburg PhD

Maritime Heritage Coordinator Pacific Islands Region

NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries

Topic: "Nanhai #1: A Window on the Maritime Silk Road"

Hans returns again to eaH to tell us about China's ambitious Nanhai #1 excavation project, initiated in 2007, which achieved an engineering milestone in the recovery of underwater cultural heritage that has never been replicated. The discovery of a 900-year old Song dynasty merchant vessel culminated in the removal of the adjacent seafloor along with the entire intact wreck, allowing for meticulous "in situ" excavation under environmentally controlled conditions within a specially-built lab on a nearby island. The wealth of porcelains and trade goods found with the vessel demonstrates the extensive and vibrant past of the Maritime Silk Road, and archaeologists are only now reaching the lower levels of the vessel’s cargo holds. The project is also relevant to today’s resource and management issues in the South China Sea.
