Revelle College
Revelle College is the oldest residential college at the University of California, San Diego in La Jolla, California. Founded in 1964, it is named after oceanographer and UC San Diego founder Roger Revelle. UC San Diego—along with Revelle College—was founded at the height of the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. As a result, the initial class of 181 undergraduates comprised only 30 non-science majors. Revelle College focuses on developing "a well-rounded student who is intellectually skilled and prepared for competition in a complex world." Revelle's general education requirements are rigorously structured in the tradition of a classical liberal arts college. Revelle's stated goal of creating "Renaissance scholars" is reflected in these requirements, which ensure that a graduate has experience in humanities, calculus, physical science, biology, social science, a fine art, and a foreign language. Revelle College's core writing course, Humanities (HUM), ...

UC San Diego's first college is named Revelle College in his honor. Career Roger Revelle was born in Seattle to William Roger Revelle and Ella Dougan. He grew up in southern California. After graduating from Pomona College in 1929 with early studies in geology, he earned a PhD in oceanography from the University of California, Berkeley in 1936. While at Cal, he studied under George Louderback and was initiated into Theta Tau Professional Engineering Fraternity, which started as a mining engineering fraternity and maintained a strong affinity for geology and geological engineering students. Much of his early work in oceanography took place at the Scripps Institution of Ocea ...

USNS Roger Revelle (T-AGOR-24)
R/V ''Roger Revelle'' is a operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography under charter agreement with Office of Naval Research as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) fleet. The ship is named after Roger Randall Dougan Revelle, who was essential to the incorporation of Scripps into the University of California San Diego. Construction and characteristics ''Roger Revelle'' was built by Halter Marine Inc., Gulfport, Mississippi. She was laid down on 9 December 1993 and launched on 20 April 1995. She was delivered to the U.S. Navy 11 June 1996, as RV ''Roger Revelle'' (T-AGOR-24), a ''Thomas G. Thompson''-class oceanographic research ship. Her maiden voyage was from Gulfport to San Diego, California, the following month. She is a sister ship to the R/V ''Thomas G. Thompson'' ( UW), NOAAS ''Ronald H. Brown'' (NOAA) and R/V ''Atlantis'' (Woods Hole), all built upon the same design. The ''Revelle'' underwent a $60 million refit between 2019 a ...

Douglas ReVelle
Douglas O. ReVelle (December 7, 1945 – May 2, 2010) was an American scientist, who worked for the Earth and Environmental Sciences Division of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Biography ReVelle received his bachelor's degree in meteorology and oceanography in 1968, followed by a master's degree in aeronomy and planetary atmospheres in 1970 and finally his doctorate in atmospheric science in 1974. All of these degrees were from the department of atmospheric ocean and space sciences at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His thesis work was about acoustics of meteors. He then became a post doctoral fellow at the Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics in Ottawa, and subsequently at the Carnegie Institution in Washington with George Wetherill at the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism. From 1994 to 2010 he worked as an atmospheric physicist in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory.
