Global Winds and the History of Exploration with Captain Elliot Rappaport

Earth’s wind systems have for millennia been an engine of human expansion across the globe. Join us to learn about the driving forces behind these winds, and the pathways between continents they have provided to seafarers over time– Pacific islanders, Arabian merchants, Norse voyagers, and finally the navigators of western Europe.

Captain Elliot Rappaport, Assistant Professor of Marine Transportation, has had a long career at sea focused on the operation of sail training and oceanographic research vessels.
