<>LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
I think there should be an age limit beyond which one is not
allowed
to take red-eyes from the west coast! I came back from a fund
raising trip (a very successful one) on Tuesday morning and
then
worked my way through a full day of meetings - ragged around
the
edges at the end. But it was all worth it.
With the summer comes the intern program - and we are blessed
with
38 new young and curious minds on Campus this year - welcome
to all -
and I am confident that as in previous years, Dallas Abbott's
leadership will result in an important and valuable experience
for
everyone.
Art Goldstein the Division Director of the Earth Sciences
Division at
NSF visited for the day on Wednesday - that was a valuable
opportunity for communication with NSF leadership, and I hope
everyone (who wanted to) had at least some opportunity for
interaction with him. He was certainly highly complementary
of
Kerstin Lehnert and Suzanne Carbotte's work with their several
digital data base projects, referring repeatedly to Lamont
as a
'Center of Excellence' in this regard. Very gratifying! And
of course
it is not Kerstin and Suzanne alone who deserve this credit
- there
are many in their respective groups who do the hard work that
wins us
this valuable recognition.
I hope everyone saw Mark Cane's recent announcement yesterday
about
the three planned new permanent appointments onto the DEES
staff -
three new and extremely valuable additions to Lamont that
bring
important new expertise and interests: Terry Plank in Geochemistry,
Jerry McManus in Paleoceanography and Meredith Nettles in
Seismology.
These are three individuals who will unquestionably continue,
and
grow, our tradition of excellence and accomplishment.
Have a great weekend,
Mike
