Dustan Sails : The Amazon On The Calypso | Dr. Phillip Dustan, Assistant Professor of | Biology, was the only American scientist | aboard the Calypso as it sailed up the Ama- | zon River last May. The Calypso (which is the research vessel | of the ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau) was conducting what was believed to be the | first large-scale survey of the Amazon’s pro- ductivity. The Amazon is the largest river in the world and runs through the heart of the world’s richest tropical rain forest. (continued to page 105) | | Dustan 103 ‘
