What does the future of ocean exploration look like? Deep-sea explorer Robert D. Ballard, famous for the discovery of hydrothermal vents, “black smokers,” and the wreck of the RMS *Titanic*, will discuss the history and future of ocean exploration technologies. From the earliest manned deep-diving submarines to the latest remotely operated vehicle (ROV) systems that use satellite technology to transmit data in real time, technology has increasingly made interactive ocean exploration a reality. Ballard will highlight past scientific achievements in ocean exploration and outline the opportunities ahead for using advanced tele-presence technologies.
