Keynotes

Beyond Titanic: The Pursuit of Tactical Oceanography
David Gallo, Senior Advisor for Strategic Initiatives Center for Climate and Life, Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, was one of the first scientists to combine robots and submarines to explore the deep seafloor. His TED presentation “Underwater Astonishments” has attracted 11 million views, placing it among the top ten.

Pursuing Ancient Myths and Unveiling Lost Cultures with New Technologies
Chris Fisher, PhD, is a professor of anthropology at Colorado State University and was part of an expedition to Mesoamerica, following the trail of remotely-located cultures that thrived a thousand years ago and then vanished. He will describe what they discovered and the tools they used to uncover them, of which airborne Lidar was a key technology.
