<>LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
I flew down to Gainesville, Florida on Tuesday, where it was
warm and sunny - when it wasn't warm and raining - to serve
on a Visiting Committee for the University of Florida. It
was interesting to dig into the infrastructure of a State
University with 50,000 graduate and undergraduate students
on a single campus, and understand how they made it work.
It was a culture so different from ours that it was difficult
to recognize it as the same profession (sometimes)!.
I flew down to Miami today (Friday) to meet with some good
friends of Lamont, and then home on Friday night.
This Sunday the 2006 Public Lecture series kicks-off with
what I am sure will be an excellent presentation by Dave Walker
entitled "Is the Earth's Core Leaking?" - 3:00 pm,
Monell Auditorium.
For the first time we will charging a $5 admission fee, because
attendance at every talk last year exceeded the capacity of
the auditorium. If your friends or neighbors have an interest,
encourage them to attend and certainly feel free to come along
with them. (Staff themselves will not be charged the admission
fee.)
Subsequent lectures are:
April 9 - Climate Change Problem: A Permanent Underground
Carbon Storage Solution? - Juerg Matter
April 30 - The 100th Anniversary of the San Francisco Earthquake
of 1906: What Have We Learned SInce Then About the Earthquake
Process and Prospects for Earthquake Prediction? - Lynn Sykes
May 21 - The Katrina Disaster: A poor world tragedy in a rich
country - John Mutter
Have a great weekend - I shall be glad to get home after a
week on the road, even though the climatic conditions will
be less favorable.
- Mike
