- June 6. Immersion Presents: Ancient Eruptions! Wheaton viewers joined Dr. Ballard's 2006 expedition in exploring the Aegean Sea and Sea of Crete aboard URI's Research Vessol, Endeavor. During this part of the expedition, scientists were studying a volcanic eruption that happened about 3600 years ago on the Greek island of Thera. They used remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) developed by the Institute for Exploration to look at volcanic materials on the seafloor. They want to understand better what happened during the ancient eruption. Many Rhode Island schools viewed the live broadcasts and witnessed many of the volcanic materials that were found on the seafloor.
