know about the author? ahis university education focused on the theoretical knowledgebhis dream at university was to become a volunteerche took pride in having contributed to the worlddhe felt honored

up on the shores of the northwest coast of the united statesthere were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wearebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes about 60,000 in total fell into the ocean in a shipping accidenthe phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes backas expected, the company told him that they didntebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experimentif he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currentsthe pacific northwest is one of the worlds best areas for beachcombing（海滩搜寻） because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the areaebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landedin a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoeswith this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their studyas the result of his work, ebbesmeyer has become known as the
