Description: Except for his service career in the Navy during and immediately after World War II, Dr. Revelle has spent his entire career with the University of California’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. He has been the director of the Institution since 1951. He received his Ph. D from the university in 1936. He is the author or co-author of numerous scientific articles and belongs to many scientific societies. Dr. Revelle here discusses what may be learned from the sea. He shows that the ocean is deep enough to hold seven grand canyons, and he explains that most scientists feel that sea monsters are actually giant eels, 90 to 100 feet long, too large to be places into nets. He also explains how the ocean affects weather. He is interviewed by Dr. Julian Goldsmith of the University of Chicago.
