Three lives drawn to the ocean—now they study it
In the short video series, “Tied to the Ocean,” meet three marine scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) who are advancing the ocean’s role in a clean energy future. From coastal modeling to marine ecology and engineering, their work is helping to harness the incredible potential of marine energy, minimize environmental impacts, and support resilient coastal communities.
Are you tied to the ocean? Join PNNL in advancing a cleaner future using the power of the ocean.
The series features:
Zhaoqing Yang
A PNNL scientist who models ocean processes to better understand and predict things like coastal flooding and potential wave energy.
“When I see the ocean—it’s mysterious, beautiful, but at the same time so powerful…. That’s why I like to study it! You see the two extremes: the beauty and the power of natural phenomena.” – Zhaoqing Yang
Erin WaltersA PNNL scientist and ocean engineer who is advancing marine energy technology. “It might sound a little cliché, but every day’s an adventure.” – Erin Walters John VavrinecA PNNL scientist and research diver who studies ocean ecology to better understand how to minimize the potential impacts of marine energy devices. “We always are working on the mystery; we always are working on finding the answers.” – John Vavrinec
