<>LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR<>
We had a two day
visit from the NSF oversight committee for our
several important marine geophysical and geochemical data
base
projects - led by Suzanne Carbotte, Bill Ryan and Kerstin
Lehnert. It
is quite a senior committee chaired by Russ McDuff of UW with
the
likes of Tom Shipley from UTIG, Mike Perfit from Florida,
Geoff Abers
(BU), and several other equally accomplished folks. All indications
are that it was an extremely successful site visit - with
the
committee being universally impressed with the progress that
our
investigators are making in making large and complex data
sets widely
and easily available to the research community. The NSF OCE
contingent was led by acting Marine Geoscience Section head
Rodey
Batiza, along with program managers Barbara Ransome and newcomer
(to
NSF) Adam Schultz. Adam is billed as the 'new Dave Epp' -
as he is
taking on most, if not all, of Dave's programmatic responsibilities.
So doubtless we will be seeing a lot of him in the future.
It was good to see Elke Weber (from the Psychology Dept and
the
Business school) out here at Lamont (to give the Friday colloquium)
-
a long time participant in many EI initiatives over the years,
she
gave, as always, a great talk.
I hope many of you were able to take ten seconds to look out
on the
river through the autumn leaves this afternoon - it was beautiful
in
the late afternoon sun.
Have a great weekend,
- Mike
