The next lecture in the Woods Hole Research Center's seminar series will be
on Thursday, July 15, at 11 a.m., when Dr. Richard S. Williams, Jr., will
speak on "The Earth's Cryosphere and Global Environmental Change." It will
be held in the Harbourton Auditorium of the Woods Hole Research Center, 149
Woods Hole Road. The seminar is free and open to the public; however,
seating and parking are limited. Please call 508-540-9900 for reservations.

Dr. Williams has done extensive research on the earth's cryosphere--glaciers,
snow cover, floating ice, and permafrost. His seminar will focus on glaciers
and their potential to significantly raise sea water as the earth warms.

Dr. Williams is a senior research geologist at the Woods Hole Science Center
of the U.S. Geological Survey, a vice chairman emeritus of the National
Geographic Society's Committee for Research and Exploration; he is also an
adjunct senior scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center. He is the senior
editor of Icelandic Ice Mountains (2004) and co-author of the undergraduate
textbook, Physical Geography: The Global Environment, published this year by
Oxford University Press.
