New Coastal & Marine Team Associate Program Coordinator
 |
John Haines
|
I am very pleased to announce that John Haines has been selected for
the Associate Program Coordinator position, which was nationally
advertised. John leaves an Oceanographer position with the St. Petersburg
Field Center.
After obtaining his Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography at Dalhousie
University in Nova Scotia, John joined the Survey as one of the
initial members of the St. Pete office. He has since been involved
in Coastal & Marine Program projects in the Great Lakes and
participated in the nearshore experimental programs at Duck,
North Carolina, in 1994 and 1997. His research record includes
publications on nearshore flows, the impact of water-level variations
of Gulf of Mexico wetlands, remote video monitoring, and decadal-scale
variability in beach morphology. He has been a long-time member of
our Program Council and served as Acting Team Chief Scientist for
much of FY 1998.
He is currently enrolled in a DOI training assignment and just
delivered (yes, he actually did) his third child (second son), so he's
somewhat occupied. He will come into the position in August and
relocate to Reston with his wife, Meredith, and expanded family probably
in September. I look forward to working with John to keep the Program
running on an even keel. With the NRC program review now complete,
John and I and others will use the recommendations to prepare a new
National Strategic Plan that will be used to guide coastal and marine
research over the next several years.
