Veteran educator and mariner John Wigglesworth will present his observations and experiences studying the Arctic Ocean on the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Healy as part of the Synoptic Arctic Survey. Mr. Wigglesworth served as a science technician for Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, helping to gather data on many aspects of the Arctic Ocean system. He has long been involved with Woods Hole-based Sea Education Association (SEA) and will address the importance of providing opportunities to study ocean sciences to high school and college students.
The meeting takes place at The Church of the Messiah Parish and Community Center, 16 Church Street in Woods Hole. Light refreshments will be served and those attending may bring a brown bag lunch if they wish.
Please carpool if you can. Parking is available in the lot south of the Church in front of the cemetery. The limited number of spaces directly in front of the Parish Center should be used by those who benefit from having closer access to the building and for short-term parking to make deliveries.
New members are welcomed at any time during the year. Information about membership is available here
