We have several new faculty and research scientists at UNH this semester. Please join us in welcoming Linda Kalnejais, Earth Sciences; Diane Foster, Ocean and Mechanical Engineering; Tom Lippmann, Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping; and Majorie Boettcher, Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping.

Getting the word out! Faculty and Grad Students, please refer your new students and colleagues to the Marine Program for inclusion in our distribution lists. These email lists are used to notify them of available opportunities and to keep them informed of marine events through the Saltwater News. We also want to include them all in our Graduate Student Page on the Marine Program website. Help us reach as many students as possible! Contact information: Linda Wade at linda.wade@unh.edu.

Jeff Bolster, Professor of History, presents "Changes in the Sea: North Atlantic Fishermen and Marine Ecology in the Age of Sail" as part of the Center for the Humanities Faculty Fellows Lecture Series. This lecture takes place on Wednesday, November 5, at 4:00 PM in the Piscataqua Room in Holloway Commons.
