Dale Chayes has enabled many major oceanographic mapping, bottom profiling and submarine research cruises during the past 36 years with his unique blend of understanding the needs of geoscience research, inventive engineering and interpersonal organizational skill.  At Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University since graduation from St. Lawrence, he has worked with personnel from numerous US and foreign academic and government research organizations and sailed on well over a hundred research cruises contributing to in a broad range oceanographic insights intended to enhance human understanding of the Earth. In the process, he has sailed on or under every ocean and most of the seas.  His recent efforts have led to improved understanding of the Arctic, one of the most important ecosystems as climate change threatens.  He has shared his work with St. Lawrence audiences by participating in the Geology Alumni Conferences.
