<> LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
This first (short) week of the new academic year has been
dominated by an excellent 2.5 day-long Symposium held in Monell
talking about the exciting potential of the three-dimensional
imaging capabilities that our new research vessel will bring
to the national and international geophysical community. Co-convenors
John Mutter and Greg Moore (Univ. of Hawaii) did a great job
bringing together a superb group of industry practitioners
from the major oil and contracting companies, along with all
the leading academics in the US, supplemented by colleagues
from Japan and Europe. The potential of 3D and 4D techniques
is overwhelming - I think the community is only just beginning
to think about the breadth of applications and opportunities
that this important new tool will provide. It was great to
become immersed in science for a few days - it reminded me
of why I got into this business.
Planning for the Geochem Building proceeds apace. We will
be appearing before the Orangetown Planning Board next Wednesday
evening - just for a 5 minute informal report but it will
be first public
announcement of our plans to the local community. That presentation
will be sandwiched between a trip to Houston on Tuesday and
a day trip to Denver on Thursday, so next week will not be
so enjoyable.
It is September 11th on Sunday - a sad day for us all to remember
as we also think of the profound tragedy of New Orleans.
We have offered haven to colleagues from Tulane University,
and
continue to search for meaningful ways in which we can continue
to help.
Have a very safe weekend,
- Mike
