Into The Deep With Titanic Explorer Dr. Robert Ballard

From the creator

You might know Robert Ballard as the ocean explorer who discovered the wreck of the Titanic. We talked with him about his path to becoming an explorer, his discovery of hydrothermal vents and the extremophiles who live there, how dyslexia shaped his work, and how how technology is a means of moving spirit. From discovering new extremophile life-forms thriving at 750°F hydrothermal vents in 1977 to finding famous shipwrecks including the Bismarck and PT 109, Ballard has made history. Now the captain of E/V Nautilus, a state-of-the-art scientific exploration vessel rigged for research in oceanography, geology, biology, and archaeology, he leads young scientists as they map the ocean floor, collect artifacts from ancient shipwrecks, and relay live-time adventures from remote-controlled submersibles to reveal amazing sea life. He has just published a memoir where he gets personal, telling the inside stories of his adventures and challenges as a midwestern kid with dyslexia who became an internationally renowned ocean explorer. Here is the definitive story of the danger and discovery, conflict and triumph that make up his remarkable life. #adventure #explore #deep #ocean #science #interview #memoir
