- W3044396987 abstract "Anthony (Tony) Laughton was an oceanographer who promoted the science of oceanograpy in Britain. Focusing on the shape of the seafloor, his work included underwater photography, ocean drilling, long-range side-scan sonar and scientific charting of the ocean floor. Following undergraduate studies at King's College, Cambridge, he joined Maurice Hill (FRS 1962) at the Cambridge Department of Geodesy and Geophysics, beginning a career in marine geophysics. Following his PhD, he spent a year at Lamont Geological Observatory, USA, where he met many leading US workers, and became interested in deep-seafloor photography and bathymetric mapping. Returning to the UK, he joined the National Institute of Oceanography (Institute of Oceanographic Sciences from 1973) at Wormley, Surrey, and became director in 1978. He developed the first UK seafloor camera, was an enthusiastic supporter and user of the revolutionary Precision Echo Sounder and later of the GLORIA long-range side-scan sonar. He played a significant part in the International Indian Ocean Expedition, subsequently developing a new understanding of the Gulf of Aden. A consummate committee man, he had a vital role in reviving the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans and promoted UK involvement in the international Deep-Sea Drilling Project. He was an accomplished amateur musician (playing French horn), small-boat sailor and handyman." @default.
