Land of the Midnight Sums: Short history on how Svante Arrhenius
became involved with global warming.
New Scientist 25 January, 2003 pp. 50-51 has a gem of an article
on Svante Arrhenius got started on his globabl warming calculations.
It would make a wonderful addition to any course reading list. It
starts with "What would a depressed Swedish chemist, alone in the
Nordic winter as his marriage to his beautiful research assistant
collapsed, do on a Christmas Eve?....

RESPONSIBILITIES:
The successful candidate will be expected to perform state-of-the-art
research on nearshore processes with a particular focus on fluid domain
characterization and prediction through remote sensing approaches for
data acquisition and the integration of these data into numerical
models. The research will emphasize on the use and utility of the Argus
remote sensing network, or systems that are either similar or
complementary. Primary interactions and supervision will be with Dr.
Rob Holman. The position is funded under the Secretary of the
Navy/Chief of Naval Operations Chair in Oceanography Program, and the
successful candidate will be expected to interact with Naval research
and operations activities. Due to the direct Navy connections and
interactions, the ability to obtain a federal security clearance will be
an advantage.
