Honorary Address (2004)

Volcanoes of the Deep Sea – Emory Kristof

2004 Honorary Address – November 9, 2004

Volcanoes of the Deep Sea
Through the porthole of a submersible, the CSPG in partnership with the CSEG and APEGGA presented the 2004 Honorary Address: Volcanoes of the Deep Sea.

National Geographic Photographer Emory Kristof took us to the depths of the oceans and introduced us to the sunless world that flourishes along the Mid-Ocean Ridges. At over 2000 feet below sea level, technology allowed us to discover the unknown universe of mid-oceanic ridges and deep-sea vents including scalding black smokers billowing ultra-hot fluids and unique organisms exploiting the rich waters.

Emory's work in the deep sea involved a challenging journey which has led to many scientific breakthroughs. Thanks to the generosity of our corporate sponsors, a complimentary afternoon presentation for over 2400 students inspired a new generation of scientific explorers!
