Renowned Ocean Explorer & Scientist
On more than 120 deep-sea expeditions, Robert Ballard has made many major natural discoveries, such as the deep-sea vents. Oh, and he found the Titanic. The man who made some of the most startling undersea discoveries in recent years, Robert Ballard describes what it was like to locate the Titanic, among other sunken famous ships.
Adventures in Deep Sea Exploration: Living the Dream
In his talk, through the use of stunning high-quality images and personal accounts, Dr. Ballard will present his most recent work in deep water archaeology and the technology of tele-presence. He discusses motivating people to think outside the box, learning how to deal with failure-that failure is just a step along the way to success, motivating children to choose careers in math, science, and engineering; and how to live your dream. Ballard is a dynamic speaker who will have you on the edge of your seat wanting to start a whole new career in exploration!
