ABOUT DAVID GALLO:
David Gallo is an American oceanographer and Director of Special Projects at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution - a preeminent, globally recognized scientific laboratory. For more than 25 years, David has been at the forefront of oceanic exploration, participating in and witnessing the development of new technologies and scientific discoveries that shape our view of planet earth. He has been described by TED as "an enthusiastic ambassador between the sea and those of us on dry land." With more than 8 million views on his TED talk, "Underwater Astonishments" is among the top 3 most-viewed TED Talks to date.
Gallo earned his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in geology from the State University of New York in Albany and a Doctorate degree in oceanography from the University of Rhode Island. In 1987 he joined Robert Ballard's team at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as Assistant Director of the Center for Marine Exploration.
David has participated in expeditions to all of the world's oceans and was one of the first scientists to use a combination of robots and submarines to explore the deep seafloor. He recently co-led an expedition to create the first detailed and comprehensive map of the RMS Titanic and he also co-led a successful international effort to locate the remains of Air France flight 447. Davis is presently involved in planning an international expedition to locate and document the wreckage of Ernest Shackleton's ship, HMS Endurance.
David is outspoken about the relationship between humanity and the sea. He strongly believes that instead of taking the oceans for granted, we need to recognize the oceans' critical role in providing the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Dr. Gallo believes human activity has impacted the ocean on a global scale with significant consequences. David claims that oceans hold the clues to our past and the key to our future, yet they remain mostly unexplored and misunderstood.
Dr. Gallo is personally committed to conveying the excitement and importance of ocean exploration to the public. He has lectured internationally to audiences ranging from children to CEO's. He has given more than 10 TED and TEDx presentations and has appeared in numerous documentaries (Discovery Channel, History Channel, National Geographic) and has been featured on numerous televised news programs (Weather Channel , PBS Need to Know, MSNBC Ed Show, and NBC Today show).
In recognition of his role in exploration and communications, David is the co-recipient of a Computerworld-Smithsonian Award. He is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a National Fellow of The Explorers Club, and a recent recipient of the Lotus Club Distinguished Achievement Award in Science. He is a member of the XPrize Deep Ocean Advisory Board and James Cameron's Deep Ocean Task Force.

The overall message here is absolutely vital. This is our shared home and we all need to take care of it and each other

[@reggiemass909]

Very good public speaker. Entertaining and informative.

[@juliamcdonald-carberry146]

Fantastic talk & filled with so much relevant & critically important information we all need to know. He truly gets it & tries to help us understand that we don't. We need to listen to this man, others like him & share this video with anyone we can get to watch this video. The scientists like him & the others who participated in making the documentary he mentions during his talk are so right when they tell us we need to explore & learn everything we can about our oceans & how they effect our world. We really don't know what we don't know about our world. We need to know our oceans well & how to live in harmony on our planet.

[@db8tkre824]

Awesome presentation Dr. Gallo! Being ex-Navy, I was fortunate to spend some time doing some maintenance activities on the US Navy's DSRV and crawl in, around and thru it, man was it thought provoking!! Keep up the good work and please continue spreading the word! Ciao!!

[@CathyMatete]

Incredibly fascinating! Just discovered Gallo from an interview from the submerged submarine in the Atlantic and how he describes an entire universe under the sea!

Thanks for posting this great and interesting talk. The satellite pictures were cool especially the African campfires and the representation of the volume of our fresh water which was a huge surprise as was the volume of sea water.

[@RoZaxTheGreat]

no ship out of your reach? what about those at the bottom of the marianas trench?

[@dereksuddreth8672]

I serve aboard the USS Brewton FF-1086, a US Navy Knox Class Frigate (during the Cold War) as a Sonar Technician/Operator. Our ship's mission was to search for, acquire and track Soviet submarines. The biological layer in the open ocean rises toward the surface at night, and the animal sounds you hear on the passive sonar also increase during that time. Shrimp, whales, dolphin and fish can be very noisy creatures. Once I heard what sounded like a woman screaming on the mid-watch. The duration was around ten seconds. The hair raised on the back of my neck! Not knowing what is was, we logged it as a "biological anomaly". I have not heard anything quite like it since. During the same West Pacific Deployment in 1979, the C.O. ordered the ship to a "full stop' over the Mariana Trench. We dropped the sea anchor. Armed Gunners Mates were posted on the stern and midships on the port side (shark watch), and "Swim Call" was announced over the 1-MC. Commander Hodge was the first one in. Those on watch were relieved and every man aboard had the opportunity to participate. Some opted out. I took my turn jumping from the motor whaleboat boom at midships. The current was unbelievably swift. By the time I surfaced, I was almost at the stern ladder. I did this twice, all the while thinking of unfortunate sailors being eaten alive by oceanic white tips. I was young and bullet-proof then. I am older and wiser now. I would never attempt this again!

[@Arie-Z]

Was it just a one off anomaly throughout ur carrer? Would love to know what type of creature made that sound.

[@dereksuddreth8672]

@@Arie-Z I never heard anything from my superiors on the mid-oceanic scream. The US Navy often classifies unknown sounds until they are ID'd, and often the findings are never released. I witnessed the C.O. and Division Officer on different ship deployment confiscating recordings in Sonar Control of a man made origin. This was obviously above our pay grade, and probably involved one of our own subs.

[@Arie-Z]

@@dereksuddreth8672 In your opinion do you think that mid ocean scream was man made, cause by my reckoning military vessels are often at the forefront of new discoverys. It just sucks how every anomaly is classified never to be heard from again.

[@john_iceman4285]

awesome :)

[@mcorriette1]

The reason people are fascinated by space more than the sea is that the ocean is 2 miles deep and space is infinite

[@sofaoverlord7501]

I hate people doing that water volume comparison and saying "Its ONLY that much".. There is aproximately as much water on earth as the Moon has mass. Thats a lot. And this is does not account for underground water table volumes which are locked away and extremely difficult to measure in volume.

[@V90Z]

I looked at a picture at scale of the moon and the earth and it's not far off from what was shown when comparing it to the size of a soccer ball vs a ping pong ball. But yeah, when I saw that part my heart sunk a little hahah
