Bob Rich Endangered Fishing Traditions of the Greater Miami Area

Bob Rich is a native of Miami, where he spent his entire life and built a successful career in the maritime industry.

The industry was relatively small at the time, with no pressing need for radios and depth finders, but it has since grown and transformed with the advent of technologies like the Global Positioning System (GPS).

Ved Chirayath Structure from Motion: Oral History of Reef Mapping in Hawaii

Professor Chirayath grew up in Southern California with a passion for NASA's mission and space exploration. In 2003, a sophomore in high school, he modified a consumer digital camera and telescope to successfully detect an extra-solar planet, 150 light years away, roughly twice the size of Jupiter. Since then, his research interests have relied on the intersection of multiple disciplines, including aeronautics, astrophysics, earth sciences, engineering, and optics.
