On November 5, Tom Stoffregen, Ph.D., professor in Kinesiology, gave an invited colloquium at the Large Lakes Observatory (LLO) at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. The title of his talk was, “Getting your sea legs: The horizon, the body, seasickness, and mal de debarquement”.

The LLO operates the R/V Blue Heron, a research vessel on the Great Lakes. In 2007, the LLO invited Stoffregen to conduct research on the Blue Heron, which began his ongoing research on human movement on ships at sea.
