What to do with a 67' stranded fin whale?
Eddie Kisfaludy, Oceans Aloft LLC

Over this past Thanksgiving holiday, Eddie Kisfaludy with help from Scripps, NOAA, and Sea World sank an adult fin whale offshore San Diego to create the largest whale fall known to science. A lot went into making this operation successful in a short amount of time and it turned out to be quite an interesting story. For the past decade, Eddie Kisfaludy was the Biological Specimen Collector, Experimental Aquarium Manager, airplane pilot, and Curator of Field Operations for the Marine Biology Research Division at SIO. He now owns Oceans Aloft LLC, a private consulting company specializing in the support of unique oceanographic, cinematographic, and aviation related projects.

About

The Scripps Technical Forum (STF) is a grassroots effort to make technical expertise and resources more widely available within the UCSD/Scripps community; to enhance communications between technical staff and departments; explore extended opportunities for interdepartmental collaboration, technology transfer, and industry interactions; to explore innovative solutions to emerging challenges; to monitor and disseminate trends and new technologies; and, aid in personnel retention and enhance job satisfaction, including continuing education, and opportunities for job growth.

The group is open to anyone within SIO and UCSD interested in applied technology. We host a monthly midday meeting with free pizza and an interesting program of presentations given by members of the community and industry. Our monthly newsletter highlights events, people, places, and items.
