OceanAGE Careers invites students to interact with the talented people who explore our ocean planet. From underwater pilots to research scientists, these marine explorers provide students with first-hand knowledge of exciting careers through live interviews, profiles, and mission logs. Each profile describes what they are doing now and the steps they took to get to this point. We also offer Web forums and Web chats with selected experts throughout the year. Video profiles, biographies, and background materials related to the work of our explorers are available before a Web event. http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/welcome.html http://www.oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/include/images/ocean_explorer_podcast_100.jpg http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/oceanage/welcome.html ********************************************************************************** http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/oceanage/04keller/welcome.html March 11, 2010 <i> <strong> Dr. Randy Keller </strong> </i> <br/> <br/> Assistant Professor <br/> <i> College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences Oregon State University </i> <br/> _____________________________________________________________________ ********************************************************************************** http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/oceanage/05kelley/welcome.html March 11, 2010 <i> <strong> Dr. Deborah Kelley </strong> </i> <br/> <br/> Associate Professor <br/> <i> University of Washington School of Oceanography </i> <br/> _____________________________________________________________________ ********************************************************************************** http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/oceanage/05shank/welcome.html March 11, 2010 <i> <strong> Dr. Timothy Shank </strong> </i> <br/> <br/> Associate Scientist <br/> <i> Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole, Massachusetts </i> <br/> _____________________________________________________________________ ********************************************************************************** http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/oceanage/04baco_taylor/welcome.html March 11, 2010 <i> <strong> Dr. Amy Baco-Taylor </strong> </i> <br/> <br/> Visiting Investigator <br/> <i> Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution </i> <br/> _____________________________________________________________________ ********************************************************************************** http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/oceanage/05auster/welcome.html March 11, 2010 <i> <strong> Dr. Peter Auster </strong> </i> <br/> <br/> Associate Research Professor <br/> <i> University of Connecticut </i> <br/> _____________________________________________________________________ ********************************************************************************** http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/oceanage/05embley/welcome.html March 11, 2010 <i> <strong> Dr. Bob Embley </strong> </i> <br/> <br/> Senior Scientist/Geophysicist <br/> <i> NOAA Vents Program, Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory </i> <br/> _____________________________________________________________________ ********************************************************************************** http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/oceanage/04weirich/welcome.html March 11, 2010 <i> <strong> Jeremy Weirich, LT </strong> </i> <br/> <br/> Maritime Archaeological Program Officer <br/> <i> NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration </i> <br/> _____________________________________________________________________ ********************************************************************************** http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/oceanage/03etnoyer/welcome.html March 11, 2010 <i> <strong> Peter Etnoyer </strong> </i> <br/> <br/> Doctoral Fellow <br/> <i> Harte Research Institute Texas AM University-Corpus Christi </i> <br/> _____________________________________________________________________ ********************************************************************************** http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/oceanage/06laidre/welcome.html March 11, 2010 <i> <strong> Kristin Laidre </strong> </i> <br/> <br/> Marine Biologist <br/> <i> University of Washington </i> <br/> _____________________________________________________________________ ********************************************************************************** http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/oceanage/03reed/reed.html March 11, 2010 <i> <strong> John K.
