Carolyn Hall (she/her) is a Brooklyn-based historical marine ecologist, award winning dancer/performer, and science communications instructor. Her blending of all of these finds a home in personal, interactive art-meets-science projects designed to encourage reconnection and awareness between people and their environments. She is often found working along shorelines hatching plans to make complex, data-rich issues around fish, water, and climate change more understandable, embodied, and memorable through artistic and public engagement. Two such projects are Sunk Shore (with collaborator Clarinda Mac Low), an experiential shoreline walking tour that uses climate change data to time travel to a speculative future, and Timelines Through a Fish-Eye Lens, an interactive visualization of the complicated history of New York City’s fish and fisheries.

She serves on the Steering Committee of the Climate and Science Communications programs of the American Fisheries Society, is a co-founder of Exact Communication, is a core member of the art/environmental collective Works on Water, and currently performs with Carrie Ahern and Maho Ogawa.
