Maggie Merrill and I had the opportunity recently to spend half of a day with Dr. Robert Ballard and two of his stu- dents, Katy Croft and Mike Brennan, at the University of Rhode Island Narragansett Bay Campus campus, to discuss Dr. Ballard’s new Archaeological Oceanography program. What we found is a mentor determined to attract the brightest minds, to develop and deploy the best technolo- gies, to challenge the status quo and lay the groundwork for oceanographic study for a generation to come.
