<>LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
I
spent Monday down in Galveston on board our research vessel
Marcus G. Langseth. She looks ready to sail to me!
Take a look at John D's magnificent pictures at:

More
than 24 kilometers of hydrophone streamer are loaded on the
winches, the gun umbilicals are rigged and ready, the seismics
lab has more than 46 flat screen displays to bemuse the most
alert watchkeeper, and the starboard bridge wing gives a wonderfully
uninterrupted view of the whole of the starboard rail, working
deck and A frame. So she is going to be a great research vessel.
But
still there are delays. She was supposed to sail on her test
cruise this week but it will not happen - we still have more
Coast Guard inspections to pass.
Congratulations
are due Lamont alum Amy Clement - currently at the Rosenstiel
School in Miami - she will receive the AGU McElwane award
- very prestigious and very well deserved. Congratulations
Amy.
I
am still waiting for things to 'slow down for the summer'
- seems to happen on Morningside, but not out here…….
Except
that the summer intern program is drawing to a close, so the
extra shuttles running for the interns will be discontinued
on Wednesday, August 1st
Another
Research Life Panel session this afternoon - talking about
that great favorite - The Responsibilities of Principal
Investigators. Many thanks to our own Edie Miller and Sally
Odland for helping out with this along with Jim Kemp from
Research Administration down town.
Have
a great weekend,
Mike
