Contact: Lisa Young 334/861-7509 Dr. Peter W. Glynn The faculty of The University of South Alabama's (USA) Department of Marine Sciences and The Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL) are pleased to announce the selection of Dr. Peter W. Glynn to be the ninth participant in the Pete and Marty Wiese Distinguished Lecture Series. This endowed lecture series, which began in 1994, is a gift from Fairhope resident Mr. Peter Wiese, a generous supporter of the Department of Marine Sciences at the University of South Alabama and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. Dr. Glynn's, a Professor of Marine Biology and Fisheries in the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, selection was based on his sustained record of research excellence in the field of coral reef ecology. His research activities have drawn both national and international awards including the C. Darwin Medal for Reef Studies; Sigma Xi Scientist-of-the-Year Medal; and his designation as Scholar-in-Residence, National Center for Caribbean Coral Reef Research. Dr. Glynn will visit the DISL and USA campuses during the week of January 7, and will present a free public lecture the evening of January 10 on the impacts of global warming and increasing ultraviolet radiation on coral reef survival. The lecture will be presented at 7 PM in the auditorium at the John W. Laidlaw Performing Arts Center on the USA campus. For reservations, please contact USA's Department of Marine Science at 460-6792. |
