  • Henry Melson Stommel<Br> 27 September, 1920ÂŒ17 January
    Journal of Marine Research, 50, i-viii, 1992 Henry Melson Stommel 27 September, 1920-17 January, 1992 Henry Stommel's heart stopped beating shortly after midnight on Friday, January 17, 1992, four days after he had undergone surgery for liver cancer at Deaconness Hospital in Brookline, Mass. His death brought to an end the career of a man who, for 45 years, was the most significant scientific contributor to the development of oceanography and who brought a rare degree of harmony and collegiality to the field. When Hank arrived at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 1944 there was little reason to suppose that anything momentous had taken place. As an undergraduate at Yale he had been advised by a counselor that, since he evidently had no talent for science, he should take up law. In 1944 he was a second-year graduate student in Astronomy at Yale and was a conscientious objector to war. The job at Woods Hole was a way of serving his country without going to the battlefield. The Yale Astronomy Department from which he had come was strongly focused on celestial mechanics, and Hank had developed an interest in the marine environ- ment through his study of celestial navigation, one of the courses that he taught. He had read a lot about the ocean and decided to prepare a synthesis that he dedicated to the students in the navy program in which he had been teaching. It was a trait that was to stay with him thoughout his life; he would be heard. Over a three-week period he wrote a 208-page book, Science of the Seven Seas, which was published by Cornell Maritime Press in 1945.

  • Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001
    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • Henry Stommel the Scientific Work of Henry Stommel Arnold B
    Henry Stommel The Scientific Work of Henry Stommel Arnold B. Arons Tanquam ex ungue leonem. lean Bernoulli, 1697 Henry Stommel graduated from Yale University in 1942 with a major in astronomy and remained at Yale as an instructor in mathematics and astronomy through the wartime years of 1942-1944. In 1944 he took a job with Maurice Ewing, whose group was then located at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The job, however, initially did not involve full-time residence in Woods Hole. A Coast and Geodetic Survey chart of the Mississippi Delta can still draw Stommel into reminiscences about a period of instrument mon- itoring at an isolated station in the far reaches of the delta, finger pointing to the location of the remote outpost. On taking up more continuous residence at Woods Hole, Stommel became one of a group of bachelors who formed a kind of informal fraternity residing in the old rectory of the Episcopal church on the east comer of Church Street and Woods Hole Road. All the inmates were members of the Institution staff, and to describe some of them as "characters" would be a form of gentle British understatement. The atmosphere of the rectory, however, was stimulating and congenial and consti- tutes another source of Stommel's anecdotes and rem- iniscences. Some of the more senior individuals of this group were quick to grasp the quality of their new young member's intellect. I recall two of them, at that early date, predicting his future leadership in research. Toward the end of World War II, Stommel, becoming interested in the oceans, educated himself in basic oceanography.

  • BIO Review This Year
    Bedford Institute of Oceanography The Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO) is the principal oceanographic institution in Canada; it is operated within the framework of several federal government de- partments; its staff, therefore, are public servants. BIO facilities (buildings, ships, computers, library, workshops, etc.) are operated by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, through its Director-General, Ocean Science and Surveys (Atlantic). The principal laboratories and departments are: Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) = Canadian Hydrographic Service (Atlantic Region) = Atlantic Oceanographic Laboratory = Marine Ecology Laboratory = Marine Fish Division Department of Energy, Mines and Resources (DEMR) = Atlantic Geoscience Centre Department of the Environment (DOE) = Seabird Research Unit BIO operates a fleet of three research vessels, together with several smaller craft. The two larger scientific ships, Hudson and Baffin, have global capability, extremely long endurance, and are Lloyds Ice Class I vessels able to work throughout the Canadian Arctic. BIO has four objectives: (1) To perform fundamental long-term research in all fields of the marine sciences (and to act as the principal Canadian repository of expertise). (2) To perform shorter-term applied research in response to present national needs, and to advise on the management of our marine environment including its fisheries and offshore hydrocarbon resources. (3) To perform necessary surveys and cartographic work to ensure a supply of suitable navigational charts for the region from George’s Bank to the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic. (4) To respond with all relevant expertise and assistance to any major marine emergen- cy within the same region W.D. Bowen - Chief, Marine Fish Division, DFO M.J.
