<> LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

No travel this week thank goodness. This rare circumstance combined with a certain slowness that seems to pervade the Campus in late August has allowed me to catch up with many important tasks. Which is good because next week I will temporarily relocate myself upstate to contemplate a small lake while cursing at the slowness of the email connection.

A large portion of our Marine Department staff has been in Norway all week overseeing the final stages of the acceptance inspections for our new research vessel. She is in dry dock in Stavanger – if all goes well she will be sailed by the delivery crew across the Atlantic in early September and will be laid-up in Rhode Island while we start the process of collecting bids from shipyards for the modification work, and order the long-lead-time science equipment.

And while all this is going on EWING sails from Oregon tomorrow for a major coring cruise off Alaska with Alan Mix and Nick Pisias from Oregon State University on board.

I hope next week is very quiet. It will be where I am.

– Mike
