It's Bush's fault!
Spare me! $300,000 is less than half the median price of of a house in my town. This work could help settle some enormous questions and it needs to be done. If you want to bitch, do it about stuff that really is a waste like subsidies to Kansas farmers.
Very interesting stuff. Thanks for posting the article.
Global warming is a b****.

Very very exciting.
Oustanding book. Great thread, too. Count me in for spending money on the search for ice-age civilizations.

Bob Ballard studies the sea floor all over the world, looking for a variety of things. Years ago he searched Loch Ness to see if there was a large creature of some kind. He's best known for his discovery of the Titanic. But this particular study pertains to the inundated former habitation of humans.

Paleo-Indians of the Ice Age 2000 is a multi-phased program to locate ancient shorelines of the last Ice Age when paleo-indian populations were living and hunting on this now submerged landmass. During Phase I of the project, the Navy's research submarine NR-1 was used to survey portions of the Hudson Shelf and Canyon off western Long Island.

Surprisingly, little bottom-trawling activity was observed and water visibility was good to excellent, averaging 20 feet. Several large geologic regions were examined and documented, including the delineation of an ancient shoreline characterized by thick deposits of broken sea shells. Because NR-1 cannot operate in water depths of less than 155 feet, the submarine was unable to explore major portions of the flood plain where numerous woolly mammoth and mastodon teeth have been recovered. We are grateful to the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center for its partnership and support.

Yeah, I know $300K -chump change.
This work could help settle some enormous questions and it needs to be done.
Yeah, especially:
Robinson said that even if the expedition failed to find evidence of human habitation, it would lay the groundwork for doing so by determining the location of the ancient coast and the prehistoric beds of Texas rivers like the Sabine and Trinity.
Funny thing, I couldn't go to sleep last night wondering about this.
If you want to bitch, do it about stuff that really is a waste like subsidies to Kansas farmers.
I do bitch about that.
What a great adventure!!
Indeed it is!
"Underworld" Great book, read his other books too. Very interesting hypotheses about missing early civilizations and how to perhaps locate them.
