1 From Ancient to Modern

2  If you had to pick one ocean or sea to explore which one would you pick and why? 10/29/20152

3  Please write down some topics that you are considering for your oceanographic research paper, including a small outline of what you intend to cover.

4  What would happen if all of the sharks disappeared from the ocean? List the chain of events.

5  Marine History Paper Marine History Paper 10/29/20155

6  Phoenicians Navigators and Merchants to England Successful and Brave 10/29/2015 6

8  Prince Henry Of Portugal School for navigation Scholarly Monarch Focused on Scientific Principles 10/29/2015 8

9  Captain Cook Great Navigator and Discoverer Found Hawaiian Islands and many other Pacific Islands Native of England 10/29/2015 9

10  Benjamin Franklin 1750 Charted the Gulf Stream To increase postal service To increase vessels speed To gain advantage in war time 10/29/2015 10

11  Matthew Maury 1850 Wrote Physical Geography of the Sea Considered the first Oceanographer His data is still being used today He was the leader of the U.S. National Ocean Survey which became the U.S. Navy 10/29/2015 11

12 10/29/2015 12 Matthew Maury 1850

13  Charles Darwin HMS Beagle 1850 Classified, collected and studied marine organisms Three year oceanic study by English Navy Darwin discovered and drew new species of animals from all over the world 10/29/2015 13

14 10/29/2015 14

15  HMS Challenger 1870 3 ½ year study First true research ship Challenger Reports = 50 volumes Discovered the principle of Constant Proportion and Manganese nodules Thompson = Leader, Natural History Murray = Assistant, Geologist Information is still currently used 10/29/2015 15

23 Alvin played a pivotal role in Project FAMOUS (French-American Mid-Ocean Undersea Study). Along with the French submersibles Cyana and Archimede. Alvin helped the French and American scientists confirm the theory of sea-floor spreading along the mid-Atlantic Ridge. 10/29/2015 23

24  Project Famous 1974 Study of Plate Tectonics Study of Hydrothermal vents Sensors (Echo Sounders) located in the stern Satellite link to onboard computers Alvin allowed researchers to conduct biological, chemical, geochemical, geological and geophysical studies. 10/29/2015 24

25  Alvin, Archimede and Cyana Modern, smaller with safety escape systems Gather current data on the oceans depths or the benthic area ROV = Remotely Operated Vehicle is a robot which is used by a submersible. ROV’s are unmanned, and can enter more dangerous areas. 10/29/2015 25
