Revelle's significant contributions to oceanography originally came to 

 the attention of the Regional Oral History Office, at the University of 

 California's Bancroft Library, through Harry N. Scheiber in 1984. 

 Professor Scheiber was instrumental in the interviewer-editor' s 

 obtaining a seed grant from the DCSD Chancellor's Office to initiate 

 preliminary research and interviewing. The entire "Oceanography, 

 Population Resources and the World" project received additional support 

 from Friends of Roger Revelle, Friends of the UCSD Library, the 

 Institute of Marine Resources, the Office of Naval Research, the History 

 Department at Bowling Green State University (OH) , as well as SIO 

 itself. 



The original audio tape recordings for the interviews represented in 

 this transcript are housed at the Regional Oral History Office, Bancroft 

 Library, University of California Berkeley.
