So, I've been reading up on marine archeologists...my first impressions are completely absurd. I am surely reading this wrong...
1.
What does a marine archeologist do?:
Tell us more about your research and the types of things you do.As an marine archaeologist for NOAA’s Office of Ocean Exploration, I coordinate maritime heritage activities for the program. Since we concentrate on the initial phases of marine archaeology –
investigation and discovery of shipwrecks - my hydrographic experience comes in handy. Hydrographers use remote sensing tools to explore the ocean floor and help create nautical charts for safe navigation. We can also use these tools to
find lost shipwrecks and delineate prehistoric landscapes.
Helping other researchers
find new shipwrecks is one step in the process of better understanding our maritime past. Managing remote sensing data and creating a useful inventory also help researchers learn more and better manage these sites. In some cases,
these newly discovered shipwrecks need protection and preservation. I also work closely with other NOAA programs to help
establish shipwreck policies with other federal and state agencies that best meet the needs of the public and communities.
