Description
Summary:This 2012 "New Frontiers" Oceanography supplement highlight the Okeanos Explorer and Nautilus exploration programs as they provide a foundation of systematic telepresence-enabled exploration of the world's ocean. Both programs emerged from a national dialogue on ocean exploration, culminating in the 2000 report of President Clinton's Panel on Ocean Exploration, Discovering Earth's Final Frontier: A US Strateg for Ocean Exploration. (Full details appear in the March 2011 supplement available at http://tos.org/oceanography/archive/24-1_supp.html.) Ten years after this report, Okeanos Explorer and Nautilus exploration programs operate worldwide, fully involving scientist and members of the public who participate from shore via telepresence to advance ocean exploration, technology development, and literacy. This second Oceanography supplement finds our programs moving toward a national strategy for ocean exploration, partnering with academic, industry, government, and nongovernmental organizations to meet our primary goals of global ocean exploration; education, outreach, and training; and technology development.
