Convocation with David Gallo
David Gallo has for more than 30 years been at the forefront of ocean exploration, participating in and being witness to the development of new technologies and scientific discoveries that shape our view of planet earth. The oceanographer and explorer was Director of Special Projects at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution—a preeminent, globally recognized scientific laboratory—and has participated in expeditions to all of the world’s oceans. He was one of the first scientists to use a combination of robots and submarines to explore the deep seafloor, and he remains active in encouraging the development of new technologies for ocean exploration. Gallo is personally committed to conveying the excitement and importance of ocean exploration to the public-at-large, and is outspoken about the relationship between humanity and the sea. The title of his presentation is “Underwater Astonishments”.
