of Oceanography.
Scott Nixon, Professor of Oceanography
and UNESCO/Cousteau Chair in Coastal Ecology and Global Assessment at
the University of Rhode Island discusses how climate change may have
altered the seasonal cycle of events in Narragansett Bay and weakened
the formerly close links between the bottom of the bay and the overlying
water. He has been studying the bay and other Rhode Island coastal ecosystems
since 1969. He served for 16 years as Director of the Rhode Island Sea
Grant College Program and for many years as Co-Editor-In-Chief of Estuaries,
the journal of the Estuarine Research Federation. He has published over
100 scientific papers and served on numerous committees of the U.S. National
Research Council, including the Ocean Studies Board. He has been recognized
with several awards, including the Ketchum Award for excellence in coastal
research from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Odum Award
from the Estuarine Research Federation for lifetime achievement. (http://www.gso.uri.edu/users/swn).
