Oceanographic Institution (rain or shine)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is celebrating 75 years 
of ocean research, education, and exploration in 2005. Founded in 1930 
to help advance the role of the United States in worldwide oceanographic 
research, WHOI has grown from a summer laboratory to a thriving, 
year-round, major research operation. Today the Institution has a staff 
and student population of nearly a thousand people working and studying 
on two campuses in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod and at 
research locations around the world. It operates three large research 
vessels, several smaller boats, the submersible Alvin, and a fleet of 
deep-diving remotely operated and autonomous vehicles.

This will be WHOI's first open house in 25 years. Both the Woods Hole 
and Quissett campuses will be included, with shuttle buses running 
between them. Parking will be available on the Quissett Campus and in 
the village lots of various Woods Hole research institutions.

Open house features include robotic vehicles, the coastal research 
vessel Tioga, scientific exhibits and demonstrations, a just-published 
book on the institution's history, and 20 talks on subjects ranging from 
right whales and red tides to coastal erosion and archaeological mapping 
in Greek waters. An incomplete list of open house components (more are 
being added) appears on the web site included below.
