Chasing Science at Sea

Chasing Science at Sea immerses readers in the world of those who regularly go to sea-aquanauts living underwater, marine biologists seeking unseen life in the deep ocean, and the tall-ship captains at the helm, among others-and tells the fascinating tale of what life, and science, is like at the mercy of Mother Nature.

Ellen J. Prager is currently the chief scientist at the world’s only undersea research station, Aquarius Reef Base in the Florida Keys, and a freelance writer. Among her publications are The Oceans and Furious Earth: The Science and Nature of Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tsunamis, a series of children’s books including Sand, Volcano, and Earthquakes with the National Geographic Society; and a children’s novel, Adventure on Dolphin Island.
