Bowdoin Guest Lectures: Lets continue the dialog

Students of “Contemporary Arctic Environmental and Cultural Issues" and "Oceanography" classes and "Friends of the Peary-McMillan Arctic Museum:"

We shared 2 days last week at your beautiful college in Brunswick, Maine. It was a wonderful new learning experience for me of the "physics tribe." I want to thank you for your interest in the work and passions of an Arctic Oceanographer. These interactions with people of different ages, disciplines, and cultural backgrounds are one of the most fun and rewarding parts of my my job. [.pdf of evening lecture]

Since you asked so many excellent questions that may not all have been answered last week,I wonder, if we can continue the dialog here. I promise to answer each and every question that you pose. This can relate to your classes, ideas, plans, and future career choices or it can relate to field sites, techniques, people, and animals that we may have encountered in our research.

Please keep up your curiosity and challenging questions. They will continue to serve you very well.

P.S.: After our meeting I had conversations with electrical engineers about listening to narwhales [First acoustic recordings of narwhales in winter]. In 2012 we saw these whales next to Petermann Gletscher [Photo Credit: Jonathan Poole].
