Previewing the 2009 Adventures in Education Program
Rochester School for the Deaf Returns to the Sea October 21-22
Oceanographer Dr. David Gallo will be the 2009 Adventures in Education Guest Presenter
Dr. David Gallo, an enthusiastic ambassador between the sea and those of us on dry land, will follow in the footsteps of fellow ocean explorers and past Adventures in Education guest presenters Jean-Michel Cousteau and Robert Ballard, October 21-22, 2009 at RSD.
As Director of Special Projects at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, Dr. Gallo works closely with scientists and engineers at the forefront of global exploration, pushing the bounds of oceanic discovery and understanding. Gallo was instrumental in the development of the JASON Project. He was one of the first oceanographers also to use a combination of manned submersibles and robots to map the ocean world with unprecedented clarity and detail.
In 1987, Dr. Ballard invited Gallo to join his team at Woods Hole as the Assistant Director of the Center for Marine Exploration. As a member of Ballard’s team, Dr. Gallo was co-expedition leader during explorations of RMS Titanic and the German battleship Bismarck.
On current topics such as the world’s oceans, deep sea exploration, and the role oceans play in climate change, Dr. Gallo says: “To discuss the consequences of climate change and its impact on global society, we first must understand the role of the oceans. The bottom line is that the information we need to guide us into the future is out there. Through deep sea exploration we are beginning to understand the intimate relationship between humanity and the sea.”
