</span></b>He’s spent a combined total of more than seven years at sea on SEA tall ships and more than 25
<i>in the same office</i>! From 1984 to 2018, Chuck Lea, a long-time SEA Semester Professor of Oceanography has seen it all. Chuck will share observations – and a few sea stories (!) - collected over more than three decades sailing the high seas with SEA Semester
students. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:4.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:4.5pt">Take a nostalgic journey to Chuck’s early days at SEA, and see how the organization has evolved over the years. Changes in the boats, science equipment, the people, the program will be examined. Everything from
how climate change influences what we teach to documentation of what his office looked like before he trashed it will be presented. Accompanied by many old photos taken over the years, this promises to be a highly entertaining and informative lecture.<o:p></o:p></p>
