Tommy Riparetti hopes to captivate Web viewers with lively commentary from a media control room on the EV Nautilus research ship as the ROVs Hercules and Argus explore new ocean depths of the Cordell Bank, a marine sanctuary off the coast of San Francisco.

A science communication fellow for the Nautilus Exploration Program, Riparetti will be sitting next to scientists and ROV pilots as they conduct research and exploration. Riparetti’s job is to follow the deep-sea footage, ask the team questions and explain what’s happening to people watching live-streaming video on the Nautilus Live website.
