What do you sea? We sea Dr. Katy Croff Bell! Our #IfThenSheCan ambassador and deep ocean explorer is changing the future of ocean exploration. Katy uses technology to investigate the depths of the ocean. She has been on more than 40 oceanographic and archaeological expeditions, finding shipwrecks, underwater volcanoes, and new species! She is the Founder and President of the Ocean Discovery League where she is building an ocean exploration accelerator to create faster, cheaper, and more accessible ways to explore the deep ocean, and training a diverse team to lead those global efforts. Innovation in lower-cost and open source solutions means expanding ocean exploration to historically excluded communities who can now be empowered to explore their own ocean environments.
