Sylvia Alice Earle is an American marine biologist, explorer, author, and lecturer. She has began a legacy of marine biography and became the leading woman of oceanography, called
"Her Deepness" by the New Yorker and the New York Times, "Living Legend" by the Library of
Congress, and first "Hero for the Planet" by Time magazine. Beginning with her associates from
St. Petersburg Jr. College, bachelors in science from FSU and masters in Phycology at Duke,
Earle began her world-changing ways throughout her career. From 1979 through 1986, Earle was the Curator of Phycology at the California Academy of Sciences and a research associate at the
University of California, Berkeley during 1969 to 1981. Her Journey continued within education

In 1979, she made an open-ocean JIM suit dive to the sea floor near
Oahu, setting a women's depth record of 1,250 ft. In 1979 she also began her tenure as the
Curator of Phycology at the California Academy of Sciences, where she served until 1986. In
1982 she and her husband, Graham Hawkes, an engineer and submersible designer, founded
Deep Ocean Engineering to design, operate, support and consult on piloted and robotic subsea systems. In 1985, the Deep Ocean Engineering team designed and built the Deep Rover research submarine, which operates down to 3,300 ft. By 1986, Deep Rover had been tested, and Earle joined the team conducting training off Lee Stocking Island in the Bahamas. She left the company in 1990 to accept an appointment as Chief Scientist at the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, where she stayed until 1992. She was the first woman to hold that position. In 1992 she founded Deep Ocean Exploration and Research (DOER Marine) to further advance marine engineering. The company, now run by her daughter, Elizabeth, designs, builds and operates equipment for deep-ocean environments. Since 1998 she has been a National
Geographic Explorer-in-Residence. From 1998 to 2002 she led the Sustainable Seas

Their aquanaut team also included underwater filmmaker D.J. Roller and oceanographer M. Dale Stokes. Earle made a cameo appearance in the daily cartoon strip
Sherman's Lagoon in the week starting September 17, 2012, to discuss the closing of the
Aquarius Underwater Laboratory. She was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Nelson
Mandela Metropolitan University in 2013. Written works on marine research conducted by Earle includes books such as Seaweeds of the Gulf of Mexico and The Panamic Biota: Some Observations Prior to a Sea-Level Canal, regarding the protection and preservation of algae and marine life within the pacific. Seaweeds of
the Gulf of Mexico outlines the importance of protozoa in the gulf of Mexico and the lengths at which they may be protected. As Quoted from the text, “Our understanding of algal phylogeny has dramatically increased with molecular evolutionary methods, and the latest research indicates that the Rhodophyta is a distinct eukaryotic lineage that shares a most common ancestry with the
Chlorophyta in the Plant lineage (Oliveira and Bhattacharya 2000). A second cluster, the
Chromalveolata, comprises the Stramenopiles, in which the brown algae belong, in addition
The Project Office was created in 1982 and a contract with the Australian Submarine Corporation Pty Ltd (ASC) was signed in June 1987. The first submarine, HMAS Collins, was launched in August 1993. This was a significant achievement for ASC and its subcontractors given that the production program commenced at widely separated sites in 1987 and ran in parallel with design and system development (ANAO, 1998).

People looked up to her as she represented women’s positions in politics, child care programs, and fought to decrease the spending limits that were set for defense installations (Abbott, Leonard, Noel, pp. 480, 2013).

The Gulf of Mexico dead zone is caused by four main factors: nutrient loading of the Mississippi River, eutrophication, decomposition of organic material by bacteria on the ocean floor and depletion of oxygen due to stratification (Hypoxia In the Northern Gulf of Mexico 2014). These four factors combined...
Dr. Lundell served as a Professor of Botany at Southern Methodist University from 1943-48, and founded the Southern Methodist University Herbarium while serving as Director for the Institute of Technology and Plant Industry at Southern Methodist University from 1943-46. In 1946 he became the Director for the SMU Herbarium and served until 1948. He then became the Executive Vice President, Director and Chief Research Scientist

In 1988, she was elected into Hunter College’s Hall of Fame. Her last award was in 1993 where she was named a “Howard University Pioneer in Academic Medicine.”
