DESCRIPTION:Modern technologies have given birth to a new “golden age”
  of exploration\, allowing us to go further\, digitally stripping away the
  vegetation\, and peer into the earth to reveal stories hidden beneath lay
 ers of time.  What emerges is a catalog full of the various experiments in
  human understanding\, expression\, and imagination.  If you remove the co
 ncept of linearity in our timeline\, the rise and fall of collective knowl
 edge exposes something deeper in our human nature\, the unpredictability o
 f our imagined realities.  This talk will discuss the enigmas of our indiv
 idual and collective imaginations.\n\n\nDr. Albert Lin is an Associate Res
 earch Scientists at UC San Diego and a award winning Explorer of the Natio
 nal Geographic Society.  An Engineer by training he has spent the last dec
 ade developing and applying technologies towards the exploration of our sh
 ared humanity.  This journey has taken him from the Arctic Circle to the m
 iddle of the Pacific Ocean\, and from the deserts of the Middle East to th
 e jungles of Central America.  For this work Lin has received numerous rec
 ognitions including National Geographic’s Adventurer of the Year\, the U
 nited States Geospatial Intelligence Academic Achievement Award\, the Expl
 orer’s Club’s Lowell Thomas Medal\, and the Nevada Medal (as the young
 est ever recipient).  An avid science communicator Lin has created nearly
