Photographs, 1973-1990.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/43935032

The accession consists of 252 color 35mm slides taken during the period 1973-1990 depicting oceanographic work at sea and experiments conducted by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Almost all images were taken by David F. Willoughby, an engineer at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California. The collection includes four images of Willoughby taken by Janice Allan. The collection is accompanied by a list of slide captions arranged by slide number. Each caption includes the date and subject of each slide, the names of vessels and/or experiments, the names of individuals in each image and other identifying information. Willoughby selected these images from all of his slides of work at sea as his best images and prepared the list of captions at the request of SIO Archives. The slides include many images of Leroy M. Dorman, Robert D. Moore, John A. Orcutt, William A. Prothero and their projects including the digital ocean-bottom seismometer (OSB) project. The work of many other scientists, technicians, seamen and graduate students ... are represented in the collection. The slides include images of vessels including R/V Alexander Agassiz, ALVIN, R/V Ellen B. Scripps, R/V Endeavor, D/V Glomar Challenger, R/V Melville, R/V Thomas Washington, R/V Wecoma. The slides include images documenting the LONGLINES refraction seismology experiment of 1977, ROSE experiment of 1979, MAGMA, SAMSON and VENT experiments in 1980, and NGENDEI experiment in 1983. The images were taken on many expeditions including TEMBLORES, SIQUEROS Expedition (1974), FDRAKE77 (1977), and WELCO77 (1977).
