DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/nhetc/62/">A
  Chern-Simons Theory for the North Atlantic Ocean</a>\nby David Tong (Univ
 ersity of Cambridge) as part of NHETC Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn some ways 
 the ocean acts like a topological insulator. There are chiral edge modes\,
  localised at the coast\, that go clockwise in the Northern hemisphere and
  anti-clockwise in the Southern hemisphere. I’ll describe these properti
 es and explain how they can be understood in terms of something more famil
 iar to high energy physicists. I’ll show that the equations that govern 
 the long-time dynamics of the ocean can be recast as a Maxwell-Chern-Simon
 s theory.\n
