DESCRIPTION:Rosalind (Roz) Savage of United Kingdom\n\n“My mission is to spread 
 ripples of awareness and behavioral change among us to reduce ocean 
 pollution, habitat  destruction, and global warming.”\n\nIn this seminar 
 Roz Savage will discuss her efforts to identify and reinforce positive 
 actions we can all take to make a difference, while connecting science with 
 her ongoing first-hand observations on the open waters of the Atlantic and 
 Pacific oceans.\n\nRosalind (Roz) Savage, a Fellow of the Royal 
 Geographical Society, United Nations Climate Hero, and an Athlete 
 Ambassador for 350.org, is a British ocean rower and environmental 
 campaigner, who in 2010 became the first woman to row solo across the 
 Pacific Ocean in efforts to gain further awareness of global warming and 
 ocean plastic pollution.  Coupled with her solo row across the Atlantic in 
 2005-6, she has now rowed over 11,000 miles, taken 3.5 million oarstrokes, 
 and spent cumulatively nearly a year of her life at sea in a 23-foot 
 rowboat.  Roz Savage has been listed amongst the Top 20 Great British 
 Adventurers by the Daily Telegraph, and the Top 10 Adventure Twitters by 
 Outside Magazine.  Her book, “Rowing the Atlantic:  Lessons Learned on 
 the Open Ocean,” is published by Simon & Schuster.\n\nRoz took up 
 competitive rowing at University College, Oxford, and went on to gain two 
 half-blues in representing Oxford against Cambridge, and to win blades with 
 the University Women's 1st VIII in 1988 and 1989.  By 2001, at age 34, she 
 was a management consultant and investment banker whereby she took on a new 
 life of discovery.  In 2003 she became a Fellow of the Royal Geographical 
 Society and took part in an Anglo-American expedition that discovered Inca 
 ruins in the Andean cloudforests near Machu Picchu.  She then spent an 
 additional three months in Peru, travelling solo and researching her first 
 book "Three Peaks in Peru."  Roz ran in the London and New York marathons, 
 finishing in the top 2% of women in each, and has run a personal best of 3 
 hours 19 minutes.  Roz' story was filmed as "A Little Silver Boat in a Big 
 Silver Sea" as part of the ITV1 documentary television series "Is It Worth 
 It?," first broadcast in March 2007 in the UK.\n
