Season's Greetings from OES President Jerry Carroll
Season?s greetings from OES President Jerry Carroll
Seasons greetings to all our OES members as we get ready to start a
new year. Our membership has increased and we have several new Chapters
with others being organized. Our two OCEANS Conferences in Santander, Spain
and Kona, Hawaii were very successful. We will have OCEANS Conferences in
Yeosu, Korea and Hampton Roads, Virginia in 2012. We had our first Conference
organized by Societies in the IEEE Division IX on Sustainable and Integrated
Transportation FISTS 2011 in Vienna, Austria. Our OTC Conference was expanded
with an Arctic OTC in Houston in February and OTC Brazil in October. Our
OES Members are a vital part of the OTC Technical Program.. We had our 10th
Current, Waves and Turbulence Measurement Workshop in Monterey, CA. in March
and participated in SYMPOL in India in November. Under the direction of
Editor-in-Chief Bill Carey, our Journal of Oceanic Engineering has maintained
its high standards. Thanks to all our volunteers and to our members for
another great year. Special thanks to our retiring ADCOM members and welcome
to our new ADCOM members. -- Jerry C Carroll, President, IEEE/OES
