William Lange

William Lange has been involved in developing and applying new technologies and techniques to observe and view the underwater world for 20 years. He was among the first to use high resolution and high-definition imaging systems for oceanographic research. His efforts have resulted in the production of camera systems with unprecedented clarity and resolution. These imaging systems, designed to work from very shallow coastal zones to depths exceeding 20,000 feet, have been used to survey and explore numerous shipwrecks, including the wreck of the RMS Titanic. They have also produced startling images of new life forms, including those found at the deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Working in collaboration with Sony, Bill's work has revolutionized the way that we view the oceans including the mid-water regions and the deep-sea floor, which make up two of the largest environments on Earth.
