Biographical History

Columbus Iselin studied under the marine biologist, Henry Bigelow, who brought him to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in 1930. As a physical oceanographer, he supervised the Atlantis in her exploration of the Gulf Stream. In 1940 he was appointed Director of WHOI. He served until 1950, then again, briefly from 1956-1958. During World War II he worked with Maurice Ewing on underwater acoustics. During the postwar years, Iselin was a member of the NATO subcommittee SCOR, where he played a role in the International Indian Ocean Expedition.
