A famed ecologist\, ornithologist\, and ichth yologist from New York\, Beebe’s research crew was named the Department of Tropical Research (DTR). Women and men\, scientists and artists\, belonge d to the DTR (part of the New York Zoological Society\, now known as the W ildlife Conservation Society)\, and some went on to Hollywood fame. \; Members Ruth Rose and Ernest Schoedsack made King Kong\, and Floyd Crosby (Tabu\, High Noon) got his first professional experience behind a movie ca mera on a 1927 expedition to Haiti. On February 25\, Science on Screen pre sents documentary films that Crosby and other DTR members shot\, some of w hich have not been screened since the Department of Tropical Research tour ed with them in the 1930s. \n\n\n The film program will be introduced by J on Dohlin\, Vice President and Director of the New York Aquarium\, and pre sented with live musical accompaniment by High Water. It will be followed by a discussion about marine ecology and underwater filmmaking with conser vation biologist and whale researcher Howard Rosenbaum and Fabien Cousteau \, grandson of pioneer Jacques Cousteau and himself an oceanographic explo rer and filmmaker. The program duration is approximately 90 mins.\n\n\n Be fore the film program\, hand-colored lanternslides from the Department of Tropical Research expeditions will play. Music from DTR cinematographer Fl oyd Crosby’s son\, David Crosby (Crosby\, Stills\, &\; Nash)\, will als o be featured. \n\n\n Credits: All footage courtesy the Wildlife Conservat ion Society.

Cousteau has used film underwater to study marine animals\, and has co llaborated to produce television specials such as Attacks of the Mystery S hark (National Geographic)\, Mind of a Demon (CBS)\, and Ocean Adventures (PBS). Cousteau is founder of the Ocean Learning Center\, which raises awa reness and leads initiatives to help preserve marine habitats and life. \n \n \n Howard Rosenbaum \;is the Director of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Ocean Giants Program and has more than 25 years experience in m arine mammal research and conservation activities involving a number of la rge whale and dolphin species. His research interests involve the applicat ion of current techniques in molecular biology to the conservation of wild life. In addition to his position at the Wildlife Conservation Society\, D r. Rosenbaum is a Senior Scientist at the American Museum of Natural Histo ry\, is on the United States delegation to the International Whaling Commi ssion\, and is a faculty member at Columbia University. \n \n\n\n Jon Forr est Dohlin is a Vice President of the Wildlife Conservation Society and th e Director of the New York Aquarium\, where he oversees the care and exhib ition of its animals and conservation programs.
