Subject: (Interview). Subtitle: Sylvia Earle. Timecode In: 00:01:52. Timecode out: 00:27:41. Notes: Oceanography. NPR/NGS RADIO EXPEDITIONS Show: Sylvia Earle interview at NPR Log of DAT #:1 Engineer: McQuay Date: September 25, 2001 Studio 2B 00:55 (AC) Alex Chadwick ¿ We, we live next to the reservoir, the Georgetown reservoir and uh, so there¿s a lot of bird-life there, including there are these kind of railings and stanchions and things back there at the edge of the reservoir, and these turkey vultures like to kind of hang out there and talk to each other. One afternoon a couple of years ago there were 8 or 9 of them up there and¿you want me to conduct this interview? I think I¿m in this turkey vulture story I should go on¿and there¿s a soccer ball down there and they came down into the back yard and played with the soccer ball for a little while (SE-oh my) they would kind of get up on it for a little while, one of them would and then he¿d fall off and one of the others would try¿8 or 9 of them just standing around this soccer ball for about 20 minutes and then they got bored and flew off. I was quite impressed with those birds. 1:49 1:50 AC Um, here we go. Are we rolling Bill? We are. Sylvia, just say who you are and how we should identify you. 1:56 SE (Sylvia Earle)--I¿m Sylvia Earle, explorer in residence at the NG society, I¿m uh, chairman, founder, whatever of Deep Ocean exploration and research. 2:08AC And author of many tomes but most importantly-- 2:10 SE Oh the very exciting news that finally the Atlas of the Ocean, with the National Geographic has been published. It¿s been dominating my life now for quite some time. 2:24 AC Tell me, there have been other ocean atlases, uh, in the past, but what is new about this one--what is new and distinctive about this atlas? 2:34 SE What is new about the Atlas of the Ocean, just produced by the NG is that it is the first atlas produced by the NG about the ocean. And here is the organization so well known for its wonderful atlases of the land, of history, of peoples, so many things that have been produced over the ages. And also this: if they had produced this or if anyone had, say 25 years ago, given the amount of new information that has come about in the last couple of decades, we¿d have to start almost not from scratch necessarily but we¿d have to rewrite whatever there was because you know, new information is coming at an astonishing rate, still. I think perhaps one of the most important messages conveyed by this important book is how little we really know, even now despite the fact that perhaps in the last 25 years we¿ve learned more than all preceding human history about the nature of this incredible body of water that dominates planet earth. 3:40 AC You have two important partners in working on this book. The National Association of Space Administration and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-- 3:50 SE And actually the navy; we have three partners. 3:52 AC And the navy. And what is it that they have done to, to help you here. 3:58 SE Well, they¿ve opened their resources to us. The maps that are included in the Geographic¿s ocean--Atlas of the Ocean reflect information much of it that heretofore has not been publicly available but is here not just available but presented in such a beautiful and accessible form. This is meant to be a resource for the professionals but it¿s also meant to be accessible for students for teachers, for anybody, even if they didn¿t think that they needed to know anything about the ocean, they will really enjoy the images that are conveyed and it isn¿t just maps but in true NG style they dived into their files and sent out the word among photographers around the country and around the world and have distilled the most amazing assemblage of images about the part of the oce...
