Originating Calendar: Campus Humanities Calendar; Professor Gillen Wood recreates the HMS Challenger's pioneering oceanographic expedition to colonial Australia in 1874. Victorian-era Sydney Harbor offers a case study in early industrial marine exploitation and “shifting baseline syndrome,” where lost species and their habitats are erased from cultural memory. Only recovered consciousness of these losses can open the possibility for real-world, biophysical restoration.
