GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): Discoverer: U.S. research Vessel "Sally Ride". Year of discovery: 2019. History: Named after Dr. Walter Munk (1917-2019), a legendary American oceanographer whose body of work had profound implications throughout our science and society. Dr. Munk’s contributions to science throughout the latter half of the 20th century and into the present century were measured not only in terms of the new knowledge his research yielded, but in the quality and diversity of the questions he considered. Among his many achievements, Dr. Munk advocated for the construction of the Ocean Class research vessels in the United States, the newest of which is the U.S. research vessel "Sally Ride", operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography -- which conducted the seafloor mapping of this feature. |
