The Man Who Measured the Sky in the Sea

<p><strong>He was the man who warned the world. We just didn't listen.</strong></p><p>In the mid-20th century Roger Revelle-a tireless oceanographer institutional architect and visionary-turned his attention from the sea's deepest trenches to the global atmosphere. The results of his research conducted with Hans Suess were revolutionary: the oceans could not absorb humanity's fossil fuel output fast enough meaning we were initiating a large-scale geophysical experiment with the planet itself. This finding launched modern climate science.</p><p>But Revelle's impact went far beyond this definitive climate warning. He transformed the tiny Scripps Institution of Oceanography into a global powerhouse securing the funding for the iconic Keeling Curve and personally driving the creation of the University of California San Diego (UCSD). From naval research and deep-sea exploration to advising global development projects in South Asia Revelle lived a life at the intersection of science and power.</p><p><em>The Man Who Measured the Sky in the Sea</em> is the untold story of the brilliant uncompromising figure whose work defined modern oceanography built a world-class university and delivered the most crucial prediction of our time-a legacy that is more relevant now than ever before.
