1. List three places in the deep sea visited by ocean explorers
within the past three years.
In 2012 they explored the place off the coast off Virginia and Maryland, in 2011 they went to Bermuda, and in 2013 they went offshore of Virginia
2.There are many individuals studying the deep sea or involved with
work done there. List at least five, and describe their fields of research or work they
have done.
Dr. Peter Etnoyer is a marine biologist and he has went underwater identifying corals, Dr. John K. Reed is a biologist/ taxamonist and he has been the mission coordinator for some of his teams expeditions, Dr. Robert Ballad is an oceanographer and he has worked on investigations of Titanic and he currently studies the deep sea, Dr. Kristinee Laidree is a marine mammal biologists and she studies the life of marine mammals, Dr. Bob Embley is a geophysicist who continuely analyzes the seafloor and tries to create a seafloor map out of it.
3. Describe what your day might be like if you were a marine mammal biologist.
You would study a lot of new fishs or other things in the ocean, and work for like nearly your whole day. You will study and analyze the ocean and the marine life with the ecosystems and the environment.
4. In some ways, deep-sea explorers of modern times are similar to
historic explorers. They are brave, curious men and women who are at the
cutting edge of their field of interest. They are very unique individuals.
One of the senior scientists interviewed on the OceanAGE Web page explains the
difference between a submarine and a submersible. Find her name and record what she
says about this difference.
It is Dr. Edie Widder and she says that the difference between a submarine and a submersible is a submarine has enough power to leave port and come back to port under its own power. A submersible has very limited power reserves so it needs a mother ship that can launch it and recover it.
5. What is the name of the fish ecologist who wanted to be an
astronaut until he realized that the ocean was virtually unexplored and the
other-worldly creatures that he wanted to see and study were living right here at
home?
Dr. Peter Auster
6. How do you think that exploring the deep sea is similar to exploring outer
space?
We don't know what's within the deep sea so exploring down there can be interesting as much as exploring space where we don't know what's out ther in space.
7. Which ocean explorer traces his interest in ocean science to a
vacation with his parents to the Florida Keys when he was five or six and encountered a
manatee?
Brian Kennedy
8. There is a big world waiting for you to explore it, and the
technology to do so gets better every day. Yesterday’s discoveries are today’s
necessities. Which explorer looks for marine plants and animals that produce
chemicals that can be developed into drugs to treat human diseases?
Dr.John K. Reed and he is a Biologist/ Taxomonist
9. As we learn more about Earth’s ocean, we realize that even
though the ocean is vast, its resources are limited and need protection. Which
marine ecologist looks for “sweet spots” in the ocean, places where life is rich and
abundant, and then works with governments and nonprofit organizations to secure
protection of those resources for future generations?
Dr. Peter Etnoyer
10. Which ocean explorer was an insect dietician and sonar operator
aboard a U.S.Navy submarine before becoming chief electronics technician
aboard the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer?
Richard Conway
