<>LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

Our new research vessel, Marcus G. Langseth came out of the water
last weekend, and is in dry dock at the shipyard in Shelburn Nova
Scotia - there are a host of excellent photos on the web if you are
interested:

I heard from Bob Gagosian at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution at
the beginning of the week about his plan to step down as Director
there in six weeks. So now three major oceanographic Institutions are
without permanent directors (i.e. WHOI, SIO and Hawaii) - I am
beginning to feel lonely.

Our Advisory Board met here on Wednesday afternoon - another
successful meeting, and thank you to Beate Liepert who gave an
excellent talk on global dimming - a topic that she pioneered.

We were privileged to entertain Bill Schleicher Wednesday evening
and through Thursday - Bill is Gary Comer's 'right hand man' - he
received presentations on our completed plans for the new
Geochemistry building from our architects and project managers.
Already we are beginning the planning for the groundbreaking ceremony
in September - we will have to find some suitably shiny shovel for
Wally to wield!

Summer will return this weekend, I am told. Enjoy.


- Mike
