DESCRIPTION:Solitons are single\, solitary waves which can pro
 pagate large distances without essential change in
  shape. The history of the soliton is a story of c
 ontrasts\, a story of slow progress and lightning 
 speed\, of high achievement and financial disaster
 .\nSince their accidental discovery about two cent
 uries ago\, solitons have slowly but surely conque
 red the scientific world\, making their way into m
 athematicians&rsquo\; notebooks\, into laboratorie
 s the world over and firmly into the imagination o
 f a generation of scientists.\nWhile soliton resea
 rch is filling thousands of scientific journal pag
 es year after year\, the question remains: Can sol
 itons ever get out of the lab?\nIn this lecture\, 
 we review various efforts to identify solitons in 
 the ocean. We will follow the speaker&rsquo\;s own
  journey in the quest for observing solitons\, ans
 wering Willard Bascom&rsquo\;s call to action: Sho
 uld we brood over the inconsistencies of Nature?\n
 The public lecture will take place at the The Lit 
 & Phil library. Click on the following link for mo
