Support for the David C. Chapman Lecture Series on Coastal Ocean Processes

摘要

The long-term goal of this project is to celebrate the heritage of Dr. David C. Chapman, a distinguished coastal oceanographer with strong ties to the Office of Naval Research, who died in 2004. The project's primary objective is to communicate to the broader Woods Hole community the state of the art in a wide range of coastal subjects, spanning all ocean disciplines. To accomplish this objective, the authors have initiated a series of 'David C. Chapman Lectures,' to be given approximately once per year. An interdisciplinary committee of WHOI scientists has selected the distinguished speakers. In each case, the lecturer has been from outside the institution, and arrangements were made for the speaker to spend several days at WHOI, so as to allow interactions with students and scientists. All lectures to date have been well-publicized and very well-attended by a broad group of Woods Hole-area students and scientists.
