<> LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Because I spent two days in Washington this week, (or more
accurately, lovely Crystal City - in a Sheraton, no less)
so Friday seems to have arrived more quickly than usual. This
particular sojourn in more southern climes was motivated by
our need to keep involved with the deliberations of the Marine
Mammal Commission as they consider possible impacts on marine
life from sources of anthropogenic sound.
Please try to keep at least sometime open on May 13th and
14th - we will be holding a series of five 'workshops' to
discuss the current draft of the Lamont strategic plan. The
five 2-3 hour sessions will be focused in turn upon the five
'science' sections of the plan - Climate, Solid Earth, Earth's
Surface, Biogeosciences and Education. Drafts of the text
for each of these sections will be made available next week
- attendance will be open to all - and the goal will be to
receive input on how we can improve, identify gaps, correct
errors, change emphases - as is required. But we want to come
out of these meetings with clear direction on how to reach
a final version of the text within a week or two. Ellen Kappel
of Geo Prose Inc. will attend to help with the actual writing.
Before you all send me email asking 'What is the function
of the plan?' followed quickly by 'Who is the audience?',
and in order to save me having to repeat this five times at
the workshops in a couple of weeks, I will prepare a short
statement that attempts to clarify this and will include it
in next weeks report. I would write it now, except it is after
5pm and TGIF is in full swing and I really need a soft drink
of some kind.
Enjoy the sun,
– Mike
