A renowned oceanographer and explorer, David Gallo, Ph.D, joins Headwaters Science Institute to share astonishing footage of rarely seen deep-sea creatures, volcanic vents and his groundbreaking exploration of the Titanic wreckage.

He also shares with Headwaters an extended and updated version of his TEDTalk “Underwater Astonishments” that has received millions of views, which includes the path he took to becoming an oceanographer, the threats our oceans and entire planet face from human impacts and advice for students interested in embarking on a life in science. 

For nearly 30 years he was Director of Special Projects at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution – a preeminent, globally recognized scientific laboratory. Subsequently he was Senior Adviser for Strategic Initiatives at RMSTitanic Inc. Today, he is independent and remains at the forefront of ocean exploration, participating in, being witness to and communicating the development of new technologies and scientific discoveries that shape our view of planet earth.

He has been described by TED Conferences as “an enthusiastic ambassador between the sea and those of us on dry land.” With more than 16 million views his TED presentation “Underwater Astonishments” has been among the all-time top TED Talks. Dr. Gallo is personally committed to keeping curiosity alive. He has lectured internationally to audiences ranging from children to CEOs with the goal of awakening the little bit of Jacques Cousteau and Jules Vernes that resides in each of us. He has appeared in numerous documentaries (Discovery Channel, History Channel, National Geographic).

He is also no stranger to televised national and international news programs such as Face the Nation (CBS), Good Morning America (ABC), The Today Show (NBC), The Weather Channel, PBS, and MSNBC). He was a CNN on-air analyst throughout the failed search for Malaysian Flight 370 and remains a CNN ocean analyst today.
