On November 3, 2008 Board ChairLinda Cox Maguire read this into therecord at the Semi-Annual Meeting of theCorporation of Sea Education Association.

On June 28, 2008, we were saddened tolearn of the death of Robert C. Seamans, Jr.SEA lost an emeriti trustee, an inspirationalleader, and a loyal supporter and friend.Bob had been involved with SEA since hewas recruited by Jimmy Madden in 1977and, as recently as last November’sSemi-Annual meeting, was an activeand enthusiastic participant in itsgovernance. He was a man of greataccomplishment and SEA was fortunateto have had his leadership as Board Chairfrom 1989 to 1993.

During his term as Board Chair therewas a marked growth in SEA’s endowmentand he established a new precedent bysetting a term for the position of BoardChair. All who worked with Bob knewhim to be thoughtful, thorough, analyticaland smart. But he will be rememberedmost as an optimistic, a gentle and acompassionate man. He was modestdespite all his achievements and requiredquite a bit of persuasion before he agreedto the naming of SEA’s newest vessel.

We are honored that he agreed andglad that the SSV Robert C. Seamansthat bears his name will carry so manystudents to sea to study the oceans. Sorather than observe a moment of silencein his memory, let us celebrate by salutinghim today with a hearty round of applause.

Robert Channing Seamans, Jr.

October 30, 1918 – June 28, 2008

Bob Seamans was closely associatedwith Sea Education Association for over30 years. He was recruited to serve onSEA’s Board by James Madden in 1977,and was Board Chair from 1989 to 1993.The lecture hall in the Madden Center onthe Woods Hole Campus is named forDr. Seamans, and SEA’s newest vesselwas named in his honor in 2001. This yearthe SSV Robert C. Seamans embarked onits eighth academic year of carryingstudents to sea to study the oceans.

“His strong family support,

especially Gene, his wife, made all this possible.”

2 Following SEA Winter/Spring 2009

Bob was a skillful and competitive

racing captain. I was delighted to be hisnavigator on several races. At the time of hisfirst Marblehead to Halifax race, Bob wasDeputy Administrator of NASA working withthe Apollo program while a satellite navigationsystem, now known as GPS, was beingdeveloped. After two days of fog and clouds,we were off Cape Sable at the southern tip ofNova Scotia with only a rough dead reckoningposition. Fortunately the weather clearedsufficiently to enable me to get a few eveningstar sights. As I was computing our positionwith the Nautical Almanac and tables, Bob,sensing my feeling of self importance, lookedover my shoulder and, with his smile and goodhumor, said, “Paul, you better enjoy yourcelestial navigation while you can, becausesoon you will be obsolete!”

—Paul Perkins, SEA Trustee Emeritus

Two days before Dad died, I had a chanceto chat with him. He described what awonderful career he had with NASA, the AirForce, the Carnegie Institute, NationalGeographic, Academy of Engineering, SeaEducation Association, MIT and Harvard. Hisstrong family support, especially Gene, hiswife, made all this possible. No matter howbusy Dad was, he always found time to bewith his family.

—Robert Seamans III (Toby),

oldest son of Bob and Gene Seamans

Even in his final moments, his optimismshown brightly, giving reassurance, as italways did, to those of us around him. In theface of a battle he knew he could not win,his…no-nonsense pragmatism and hisdetermination served him well. It made hislife worth living.

—Joseph Seamans,

middle son of Bob and Gene Seamanss

“He lived his life with optimism and joy.”

Robert C. Seamans, Jr., Trustee Emeritus and former SEA Board Chair, was bornin Salem, Massachusetts on October 30, 1918. He attended Lenox School, received hisBS from Harvard and both an MS in Aeronautics and PhD in instrumentation from MIT.

Dr. Seamans helped lead the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)during the years after 1961 when President John F. Kennedy declared his intent toland Americans on the moon. He was instrumental in the 1968 decision to sendApollo 8 to the moon, despite some staff objections, and it was this successfulmission that led to the lunar landing in 1969.

He remained a consultant to the NASA administrator after returning to MIT in 1968as a visiting professor. After serving as secretary of the Air Force from 1969 to 1973,he was then named by President Ford as administrator of the Energy, Research andDevelopment Administration in 1974. Dr. Seamans became dean of the School ofEngineering at MIT in 1977 and continued to teach there even after his retirement in 1984.

A family man, he took greatpleasure from time spent withhis wife of 66 years, Gene, andtheir five children. He lovedtennis and he loved sailing, bothcruising and racing, according tohis friend of 50 years, SEATrustee Emeritus Paul Perkins.

It was Perkins who helpedovercome fundraising concernsand issues of modesty inpersuading Bob to permit SEA toname the new vessel the SSVRobert C. Seamans. Now the Seamans, affectionately referred to by the Seamansfamily as “The Bob,” carries a sailing dinghy fondly named “Gene”. A large group of theSeamans family attended the 2001 commissioning of the boat in Tacoma, WA whereDr. Seamans spoke and presented the ship’s library with a signed copy of hisautobiographical book, Aiming at Targets.

Early during 2003, Bob and Gene Seamans, along with son Joe and grandsonMichael traveled, at SEA’s invitation, to Tahiti to sail on the new vessel. During thattrip, Joe remembers that his parents, then in their 80’s, were offered the option ofstanding watch but there was no question that they were going to do it, sometimesgetting up in the middle of the night to do so.

Bob Seamans was actively involved with SEA until six months before his death onJune 28, 2008. He attended both the June 2007 Annual Meeting in Woods Hole, andthe November Semi-Annual meeting that same year, giving a spontaneousinspirational speech to Trustees, Overseers, faculty and staff about opportunities in thefuture. He will be missed.

“My brother Bobby was an ever optimist, soexemplified by his confidence that things wouldwork out. When he was eight, he bought a raffleticket for a toy barn, and came home andannounced to his mother that he had won thebarn. His parents tried to explain that he onlybought a ticket and he’d be lucky if he won. Heinsisted on being at the church for the drawing.As he and his father walked in, they announcedBobby Seamans was the winner.”—Donny Seamans, as told to those gathered at Bob’s memorial


words Bob lived by

Life is an arrow. Therefore you must know

What mark to aim at and how to use the bow.

Then draw it to the head and let it go!”—Henry van Dyke, poet and clergyman


Jimmy Madden introduced Bob to SEA in the late 70s.Jimmy lived on Boston’s North Shore near Bob and both werekeen sailors, close friends and members of the CCA.

Though Bob stayed in the background for a number of yearsearly during my tenure at SEA, he attended all the major boardmeetings and showed a strong interest in the organization’sgrowth. In the mid 80s Townie Hornor stepped down after along stint as Chairman. Ann Brewer, a long time friend of theSeamans family, took over with the clear understanding thatshe was simply an interim Chairman.

After he joined the Executive Committee, it was increasinglyclear that Bob just might agree to take over from Ann as thenext full term Chair. He was approached and, after carefulconsideration, Bob accepted.

From this point onwards, Bob made it clear that his goal wasto “institutionalize” the organization’s governance. Thestructure, membership and goals of the Board’s standingcommittees were reviewed and, where appropriate, re-organized. He led the review and revision of the by-laws. Hewanted to bring SEA more in line with institutions of highereducation. He worked to have research project guidelinesrevised to have more academic credibility and relevance. Hechanged my title of Executive Director to President and, mostimportantly, instituted clear guidelines as to how the Presidentshould report to the board, including establishing a carefullythought-out process for conducting a performance review. Bobwanted to know if I had a complete physical on a regular basis.I said I couldn’t remember when I last had one. “You can’t runSEA unless you have a regular medical check-up”, Bob insisted.

Bob wanted to ensure that the Board was well connected tothe numerous functions of running SEA. He encouraged the staffand faculty to engage the trustees and help them betterunderstand how SEA’s mission was being implemented. Themeetings became more interactive.

It was important for him to know what I was going to say. Hewould review my report for each meeting. Inevitably, I wouldbuild my report around some philosophical idea. At first, it washard for him to understand why I would approach the reportthat way. I explained there was so much factual data being fedto the board at these meetings, there had to be a way to talkabout our educational mission in more conceptual, philosophicalterms. He eventually came to enjoy “Father Parker’s sermons”,as he called them.

Bob was very concerned that I take my allotted vacation time,something that was not so easy to do. With this in mind, heinvited Kate and me to join him and Gene for a week’s sailing onthe Chesapeake aboard Viva. We accepted with much enthusiasm.

Aboard Viva, we had a wonderful time exploring the creeks ofthe Chesapeake. I had come to know those waters well so wasable to introduce Bob and Gene to some quiet anchorages theyhadn’t known. But, what has stood out most in my memory of

that trip was the joy of sharing with Bob our passion for jazz.Amidst the cries and squabbles of birds seeking the best perchfor the night, and with a drink in our hands, we would watch thesunset listening to the best of John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong,Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington and Fats Waller. Billie Holliday’srendition of “Solitude” will always remind me of those magicalevenings.

Well, it was not too long before we were campaigning foranother vessel. By this time Bob had stepped down as chair.Others had taken over. But his interest in SEA continued to beas strong as ever. Although we had named the lecture hall inthe Madden Center after him, the thought of having his nameon the new ship was always at the back of my mind. It was clearthat she should have a name worthy of her. It was also clear thatthe campaign needed an infusion of fresh blood if we were tomeet our fundraising goal.

It was about this time when Paul Perkins, a long-timemember of the Board and one of Bob’s closest friends, calledfrom Florida. He said that he and Bob were participating in theirannual tennis tournament and he was wondering if we wouldever consider naming the new ship after Bob. “Of course!” Isaid. “I’ve often thought of the idea. Would Bob be interested inhaving his name on the boat?” Paul’s response was, “I don’tknow, but you might try asking him. Shall I put him on?” Aftersome silence, Bob came to the phone. “How is it going, Rafe?You should be down here having fun!” I put the question tohim, “would you seriously consider having your name on theboat?” “But I’m not dead yet!” was his reply. “I thought youmight enjoy the pleasure before it was too late” was mine. “Letme think about it. I will get back to you”. The following morninghe called back to say that it would be an honor to have hisname on the boat. “Now I suppose you are going to want a listof my family and closest friends”. “That would be a good placeto start”, I replied with a great sense of relief. We talked a littlemore about the vessel as well as his desire to have the nameinclude his middle initial. Later, Bob and Gene worked together

FOLLOWING SEA AROUND THE WORLD & IN SPACE

SEA Flag Travels into SpaceFormer SEA Assistant Scientist, Richard R. Arnold II, now a NASA Astronaut, isassigned as a mission specialist on Discovery which launched on March 15, 2009.Ricky was an assistant scientist on W-126A/B and on W-127’s trip north from Miamito Woods Hole. He also served as visiting scientist for Class 134A in 1994.

This mission will deliver the final pair of power-generating solar array wings andtruss element to the International Space Station. The arrays will provide enough elec-tricity to power science experiments and support the station’s expanded crew of six.Altogether, the station’s arrays can generate about 120 kilowatts of usable electricity,enough to provide about 42 2,800-square-foot homes with power.

The 14-day flight will include four spacewalks, lasting about 6.5 hours each, tohelp install the S6 truss segment to the right side of the station. STS-119 is the125th space shuttle flight, the 28th flight to the station, the 36th flight of Discovery,and the first flight in 2009.

“The astronauts of Discovery’s mission will take objects into orbit that mean a lotto them, but also many that are symbolic of larger causes, goals and expectations,”according to NASA’s website. Most of the items will remain tucked in lockers insideDiscovery while the crew goes about its tasks. Among the items is a SEA flag carriedonboard by Ricky Arnold who contacted SEA to request an item to take on the mission.

According to the NASA site, “STS-119 spacewalkers Richard Arnold and JosephAcaba, both former teachers, will ‘fly’ mementos, such as small flags, that representsome of the schools where they taught.” The flag will be returned to SEA at the con-clusion of the mission.

Rich Wilson Sails Around the World SoloSEA Trustee, Rich Wilson retired from the SEA Board for the 2008-2009 year becausehe planned to solo sail around the world on a course that takes three months tocomplete. Participating in the Vendée Globe, Rich was the only American in the raceand was also the oldest sailor at age 58.

Onboard the Great American III, Rich sailed from Les Sables d’Olonne in the Westof France, around the Cape of Good Hope, east across the Indian Ocean, skirtingAntarctica, around Cape Horn, and headed back up to Les Sables facing strong head-winds. He is only the second American to complete the Vendée.

Since beginning the race, Rich posted logs, photos and podcasts on his websitewww.sitesalive.com where there is also a question and answer feature and essayswritten by a team of experts.

On March 10th he crossed the finish line, completing the 24,840-mile VendéeGlobe solo non-stop round the world race in ninth place. He finished in 121 days,00 hours, 41 minutes and 19 seconds after leaving Les Sables d’Olonne on SundayNovember 9th and averaged 9.84 knots on the water covering 28,590 miles.

While nineteen of the 30 skippers who started from the Vendée start line onNovember 9th had to retire from the race, the most grueling challenge in solo oceanracing, Wilson was described as having “stuck rigidly to his watchwords of safety andconservatism, showing huge determination to complete the course as the pinnacle ofa sailing career which already included three ocean passage records.”

SEA congratulates Rich on this amazing achievement.


in compiling the list of names and addresses of all their friends:among them were two U.S. presidents and a First Lady. BothBob and Gene remained intimately involved throughout theremainder of the campaign.

Gene was invited to christen the SSV Robert C. Seamans withthe traditional bottle of champagne at her launching. I receivedseveral excited calls from her to let me know that she waspracticing breaking a bottle over the blade of an old plow at thebottom of their garden. She had been successful three attemptsout of four. Unfortunately, when the event came and she wasprimed to strike the bow with a bottle of the best champagne, thevessel moved. Gene’s bottle glanced the bow but didn’t break.Later, with the ship alongside, she stepped into the vessel’s gig,later named Gene, and broke the bottle over the ship’s bow.

I was present at SEA’s November 2007 semi-annual boardmeeting – the first since leaving the organization four yearsbefore. Bob was also attending the meeting along with boardmember Tom Weschler. It was to be Bob’s last. Tom hadreached his 90th birthday and Bob was in his 89th year. Theoccasion was an uplifting, nostalgic one for me. I made someremarks about the fact that these two gentlemen had broughttheir own enormous breadth of experience and service to theircountry to help further SEA’s mission over many wonderfulyears. At the end of the meeting, Bob came over to me andsaid, “You know, Rafe, we’ve really missed Father Parker’ssermons!”

We are grateful to each donor listed in this report for the part you played last year tohelp us build a strong foundation as we approached these challenging times.

You will be glad to hear that SEA is serving students at the highest level of quality andsafety – continuing its strong tradition as a superb off-campus program. As our nation –and the world – slip into a deep recession, the challenges associated with ourcommitment to excellence are becoming increasingly great.

The problems we face are shared throughout higher education. Endowments havesuffered, reducing resources to fund scholarships and support budgets; expenses haverisen; and families are retrenching financially, waiting for these difficult times to pass.We lost nearly 20 enrolled students this past fall after the economy took its dramatic,downward turn, largely because of their parents’ concerns about costs.

We seem to have steadied this initial market reaction. We have made an even strongercase for the value of SEA, and we are doing all that we can to reduce the strain onfamilies through financial aid.

In order to sustain this commitment, we are turning to our dedicated alumni andfriends. We will be reaching out to you, asking that you help us help students andreward the hard work of our faculty, staff, and crew.

So, we are designing new academic programs, welcoming outstanding students, andcarefully tending to our ships. An exciting strategic plan we just completed in June isguiding us toward a point on the horizon that is directed by both what we hold most dearin our mission and what we find most compelling about serving students in the future.

We hope that you will help us get there.

SeaPerch ProjectThe SeaPerch project came full circle when studentsand teachers from the Taiohae Middle School in NukuHiva toured the Robert C. Seamans during a Class 216

port stop at theMarquesas (below).

The project beganin Woods Hole duringthe shore componentof Class 215 whenSEA Semester stu-dents (left) voluntarilyundertook building twoSeaPerches in theirspare time. They were

tested in Woods Hole, and then went to sea. A SeaPerchis a hand built ROV (remote operated vehicle), a sub-marine that is controlled from the surface.

One was donated during Class 215’s stop in NukuHiva to students from the same school who toured duringClass 216. Other SeaPerch ROV’s have been similarlybuilt by SEA students and donated to a marine lab inJamaica, and ECO-Mar, a non-profit that serves fishingvillages in Samana Bay, the Dominican Republic.

Jan Witting Receives 2008 ElsaesserFellowship AwardDr. Jan Witting’s project was selected from apool of strong proposals for the 2008 ArminE. Elsaesser III Fellowship Award. Jan hasbeen a member of SEA’s OceanographyFaculty since 2001. He received both his BSand PhD in Marine Biology from NortheasternUniversity.

Jan’s project involves the traditional inshorefishery techniques that are rapidly disappear-ing in the Tuamotu Archipelago in FrenchPolynesia. He is studying the vanishing tradi-tions that present a sustainable model forexploiting local marine resources and are inurgent need of preservation. Traveling to threeof the atoll islands, he will document this tra-dition using video, audio recordings, photo-graphs and written records. These records willthen be shared with local community organi-zations involved in preserving traditional land-scape use methods.

SEA Overseer Ben Cuker Wins AwardThe first ‘Excellence in Education’ Award hasbeen presented to Dr. Benjamin Cuker by theAmerican Society of Limnology andOceanography (ASLO). Since 1988, Dr. Cukerhas served on the faculty of the Departmentof Marine and Environmental Science atHampton University. Beyond his duties as aprofessor and researcher, he has devotedmuch of his career to promoting diversity inthe aquatic sciences. In congratulating Ben,SEA’s President John Bullard said, “Your com-mitment, your imagination and your persist-ence have overcome all the obstacles thatefforts to diversify the sciences encounter.”

More Legacy StudentsThe number of SEA Semester students whoare legacies continues to grow. In Class 221,Erin “Ginger” O’Reilly (top, left), daughter ofPatrick O’Reilly, W-76 and Sarah Kearsley(top, right), daughter of Richard Kearsley,W-25, were classmates and are shipmates onthe SSV Robert C. Seamans. Class 222included student, Ben Sinnett (below), son ofEmily Bramhall, W-27.

Annual FundSEA’s Annual Fund appeal will close on June 30 for the2008-2009 year. The Annual Fund is the cornerstone ofSEA’s fundraising and annual giving provides for 15%of the operating budget. Since endowment income isgreatly reduced in the current market, and college stu-dents are struggling with the cost of education, SEA’sneed for support is greater than ever. Annual Fund giftsgo to scholarship, program enrichment and mainte-nance of our vessels.

The alumni reunion class with the greatest percent-age of participation will win the opportunity to go on anovernight sail on Alumni Reunion weekend.

Please consider making a donation by returning theremittance envelope contained in this mailing. Rememberthat our Annual Fund year runs from July 1st toJune 30th. A gift of any size will be greatly appreciated.

PASSAGES



W-1crossing paths

The Westward had come in at 0600. The Westward is a sister ship of the Yankee. She’sa Topsail schonner, 100 feet long. Just before we were going to leave a 16 foot whalercame by. A man in it said for us to come over. They use a 9 foot Avon to land. We sawthem flip it. So we went over. When we got aboard it was lunch time. The Captaininvited us for lunch. We had bread, Potateo salad, and Cold MEATLOAF. Boy, that wasgood. The boys didn’t respect there captain or us. The didn’t have shirts on ether (note:a family rule of ours was to have shirts on at meals). The Captain is Roger Gray and hiswife is Frances Gray. Frances Gray gave us six Whole Canned Chickens. O boy.

The Westward. She had a break in her deck ¾ of the way aft. Nice engine room. Heryard was on deck. 46 feet long. They put it up in James Bay. Almost no doors havehandels. They have a key. Lot of doors have keys sitting in them. There’s a watertightdoor with a key hole. The one thing I didn’t understand are the watches. There is sevenpeople on a watch. They stand watch day and night, port or sea. They stand four hourwatches. In 11 days they saw the Galapagos. The people on watch don’t get to sea that port.

Daddy was interested in it because of the (Brigantine) Yankee. The builder talked todaddy about sertain things. It was the first time daddy had been aboard. After we gotback a boat from the Westward came by. We invited them aboard. Jeff Davis and LarryJ. Hobbs. Larry was a mate and got paid. Jeff had to pay. Larry has had lots ofexperiences. His address is Waimanalo, Hawaii. He was neat. That night the Perrine kidsand Bercaw kids went to the Westward. We had cold strong Kool-Aid.

The next morning we were going to have pig liver. But when we smelled it, it hadalready spoiled. The pigs heart still was good. We had pigs heart. It was just like liverexcept firmer. We had dinner that afternoon; Pork and Sweet & Sour sauce, carrots andrice. Trina, Mommy and me took a hike. We were planning to hike to Buccaner Cove.We got pictures of the Westward and started hiking. We hiked, hiked, and double hiked.Finally we got on the left side of a big hill. Wrong side.

After supper Daddy showed his Yankee lectiour on the Westward. The French,Perrines, Bercaws and Four Winds people. Four Winds is a 60 foot schooner. The peopleon it are making a movie. Daddy showed it with there (the WW’s) projecter from thecapanion way. We had to take all the slides from the cardtriges and put them in order ina big box. He made a very good lecture. He added two pictures of Natasha. Bravo! Wehad cold Kool-Aid afterwards. ■

Note: When I was ten years old I sailed aroundthe world with my family on NATASHA, our38-foot ketch. In February 1972 during ourcircumnavigation, we crossed paths with theWESTWARD in James Bay, Galapagos Islands.She was on W-1, her first SEA voyage. Thefollowing is an excerpt from my log regardingthat event; I’ve left my original spelling andgrammar.

WESTWARD (W-1) Galapagos Islands, February 1972 By Captain Sean S. Bercaw

Sean Bercaw served as Captain on the SEA faculty from 1994 to 2003. This story is a followup to“Message in a Bottle” (Following SEA, Winter/Spring 2008). During 1972, when sailing aroundthe world with his family, he encountered Westward on its first SEA cruise.

(Above) A page from Westward’s log thatnotes the visit of the Bercaw family and aphotograph of Westward at anchor in JamesBay in the Galapagos, taken by Sean’s father,Jay Bercaw.


There was a secondcrossing of paths for W-1 alumnaCheryl McKinley and former SEA CaptainSean Bercaw in August of 2008. During an Alumni andParent Cruise onboard the SSV Robert C. Seamans. Sean andCheryl realized that their paths had also crossed 36 years earlier during thevoyage of SEA’s first class on RV Westward.

Cheryl was one of the 15 student apprentices setting sail on January 6, 1972 from SanDiego on what was described in the June 1972 issue of SAIL magazine as “her first of acontinuing series of oceanographic expeditions to remote places around the world.” Thevoyage was to take them to the volcanic island Socorro, off the coast of Mexico, on to theGalapagos Islands for an extended stop, through the Panama Canal and on to Puerto Rico.

Cheryl’s return visit to the Galapagos Islands in 2007 had led her to reconnect withSEA and then sign up for the S-218D alumni sail. By chance Sean had been recruited bySEA to sail as a Mate on that same trip and ended up on the same watch as Cheryl.

As a boy, Sean had been sailing round the world on his family’s ketch, Natasha, whenWestward was sighted at anchor in the Galapagos. Although Sean’s father Jay had neverseen the boat, he had been consulted on its construction by Drayton Cochran,Westward’s original owner, and thus recognized it right away. Cheryl remembered theBercaw family’s visit to the vessel, especially the slide show of the 5th voyage of theBrigantine Yankee that was viewed on deck by the apprentices. Jay had been Mate onboth the 5th and 6th world voyages on the Yankee.

Asked about comparisons in what she experienced on the Seamans versus her W-1trip, Cheryl responds that the pace is very familiar; watch standing, camaraderie andteamwork are also similar. The grace and elegance of the ship was the same. “There seemsto be a bit greater emphasis on science today as compared to more seamanship in 1972,”she said. The same 1972 SAIL magazine article though, describes W-1 off watch activityas “lectures on a broad spectrum of subjects including ocean currents, water systems, seawater physics and chemistry, bottom topography, plankton life, cetacean physiology andbehavior, marine ecological systems, navigation, meteorology and sailing theory.” ■


Do increasing global temperatures have an effect on the intensity and frequency ofextreme weather events? For coastal communities, the relationship between globalwarming and cyclone activity is particularly interesting for reasons that are altogetherobvious. This is the question that recently brought WHOI scientist Dr. Jeff Donnelly tothe Society Islands, French Polynesia on board the SSV Robert C. Seamans. The missionof the ten-day research cruise was to map and sample the soft sediment deposits of thelagoon environments of Tahaa, Bora Bora and Huahine.

These sediments potentially preserve a detailed weather record all through to the endof the last ice age some 10,000 years ago. The sediment is an aggregation of weatheringproducts running down from the volcanic peaks of the islands, and calcium carbonateproduced by invertebrates and algae on the surrounding coral reefs.

SCIENCE CORNER Climate Science at Sea


The basic idea behind this research effort is that large storm events will generatesediment and debris that is discernibly different from the usual gradual accumulation.On the reef side, the large seas break large corals off the reef and roll them around. Theresulting mixture of coral sand and shell fragments is then washed over the reef anddeposited in the lagoon. On the land side the large rainfall accelerates erosion and moveslarger particles down the steep inclines and swollen rivers. After the storm is over, theusual gradual sedimentation process proceeds and eventually buries the evidence of thestorm. Repeat this process for thousands of years, and you potentially have a very nicerecord of major storms locked in the lagoon sediments.

Dr. Donnelly and his science party of six boarded the ship in Papeete on the 10th ofJanuary. The cruise had been in the planning for about a year, and much of the researchgear had been loaded on the ship in San Diego before the two fall sea semesters. Afterdeparting Papeete in the afternoon of January 10, we traveled some 115 nautical miles tothe twin islands of Raiatea and Tahaa where we spent the next five days. A routine forthe work quickly established itself, with the mornings and early afternoons filled withacoustic CHIRP sonar surveys of the lagoon sediments, followed in the afternoon by afew core samples of selected locations.

The full results of the research will trickle in once Dr. Donnelly’s group has had achance to analyze the cores back at WHOI, but the early indicators are very promising.Dr. John Woodruff from UMass Amherst created 3-D maps of the coring locations fromthe detailed CHIRP data produced as Seamans was “mowing the lawn” in a crisscrosspattern around the core sites. These maps show multiple layers deep beneath the presentday seafloor, and with the help of one 4m long core sample Dr. Andrea Hawkes (a Post-Doc from WHOI) was able to determine that one of the most prominent layers was theexposed ground during the last ice age. Above this layer, a quick look at some of thecores showed evidence of shallower layers of coarser sediments that seem indicative ofstorm events. So both the acoustic data and the core samples have been very promising.

Our next target was Bora Bora, and after two busy days there we traveled to MaroeBay in Huahine, where we have just spent a productive day conducting another acousticsurvey and collecting core samples. Tomorrow we’ll head back for Tahiti after trying tocollect a final 5.5m long core using an extended tube welded together today. FromPapeete some of the cores will be shipped directly to WHOI, others will detour with theSeamans to Hawaii and will reach the lab later in the spring.

At WHOI in Dr. Donnelly’s lab, a host of detailed lab analyses will examine aspectsof the elemental composition of the cores millimeter by millimeter, helping to identifycertain events in time that have left an identifiable marker in the sediment record.Isotopes from the atmospheric nuclear testing, for example, can be used to date layersfrom the 1950’s. Other methods will include carbon dating, grain size analysis andpollen and foraminiferan microfossil analysis. From all this Dr. Donnelly hopes toreconstruct a detailed, dated record of cyclone strikes in these islands for the past 4,000or so years. Given that the Pacific cyclone frequency is closely tied to El Niño, thisresearch may provide new information of El Niño occurrence as well. One of the graduatestudents on board, Michael Toomey (alumnus of SEA WHOI/MIT 2008 program) willuse the collected data for much of his PhD thesis work in the coming years.

So it has been a very successful research cruise. With no students, the life led on boardtook an a little different working rhythm for us. For the deck crew led by Capt. PhilSacks, the acoustic surveys meant busy days of precise piloting in the very close quartersbetween the reefs and the islands while stopping for coring presented plenty of exercisein anchoring. As for the science crew, we were very busy helping to develop deploymentmethods for the vibracorer from the Seamans, something new to us and the boat.Running the ship’s gear during deployments was our routine, while after the first coupleof days introduction to our CHIRP system the WHOI crew was able to take over thedaily lab operations for the acoustic surveys.

Overall, it was a very positive collaboration. Summarizing it like this of course missesmuch of the experience, the sights we were treated to by the various islands, the balmyweather, the meals…. Personally one of the most rewarding parts of this cruise has beenthe working community on board. We had one lab and six deck volunteers whose helpwas instrumental and who, with the WHOI science party and regular crew made this asuccessful, fun cruise. Don’t be surprised to read more about similar work in the future! ■

Vibracorer recovery with the 3.5 m corebarrel. Drs. Jonathan Woodruff, AndrewAshton, Jeff Donnelly, and Andrea Hawkes(l-r) are preparing to detach the core tubefrom the vibracore head and bring itonboard. You can see how deep the corepenetrated from the line of sediment on theoutside of the steel core.

Some results from a CHIRP survey of BoraBora. The small map on top right shows theisland and the route of the ship, while thegray trace on top shows in a linear form thebottom and sub-bottom profile for the wholeship track. The three images on the bottomshow the bottom trace convolved to theshape of the ship track (left), the interpolatedbottom contour of the lagoon bottom today(center), and the lagoon bottom as itappeared some 10,000 years ago. You can seethe outline of this ancient seafloor as the firstdark line below the surface of the bottomsediments, which appear as the darkest bandin the CHIRP trace. Note also that you cansee multiple more outlines deeper down inthe sediment, evidence that with longenough core it would be possible to samplemuch older sediments reflecting depositionthat occurred tens of thousands of years ago.

In Their Own Words

SEA had a tremendous influence on me, includingmy choice to work with entrepreneurial teams tochange the world. To this day, I think aboutshipboard life as one of the best models of howpeople accomplish great things in small teams. SEASemester is the most extraordinary educationalexperience imaginable, and I look forward to the daywhen my children are in college and can experienceit for themselves. –Steven K. Gold, M.D., W-88
