(KAIR)--A world-renowned ocean explorer, who is working to find Amelia Earhart’s missing airplane, will address Atchison students next month.

That’s according to a news release issued by the office of United States Senator Jerry Moran.

The release says the Kansas Republican will host Dr. Robert Ballard on Tuesday, September 3, with Ballard to speak with students about the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

Ballard is a Kansas native. According to the release, he is known for discovering the Titanic and other long-lost vessels in oceans around the world. During his address to students, he plans to discuss his current work of finding Earhart’s plane. At the same time, he will video conference scientists on board an exploration ship which is actively exploring U.S. territory in the Central Pacific.

The hour-long forum, to include a question and answer segment, will be held at the Atchison High School gymnasium beginning at 1:00.

Community members are invited to attend.
