Richard Dugdale

Today, some souvenirs of the visit of Dr. Dugdale to our University as professor in the Master of Oceanography. Dr. Dugdale is currently working in the Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies at San Francisco State University. He is Senior Research Scientist in Romberg Tiburon Center, Adjunct Professor at San Francisco State University, and Emeritus Professor of Biology at the University of Southern California. The outstanding contribution of Dr. Dugdale to biological oceanography inspired most of our work during the last decades. It has been an honour for us to receive him in our Faculty. Our students are the privileged few who enjoyed his teaching. Below some photographs of his visite to the Canary Islands.

Ted Packard and Dick Dugdale, two generations in biological oceanography.

Working very hard.



Nice place for lunch and nice photograph (thanks May).

Finally, the paper of today is a very recent publication by Iván Alonso-González et al. in the last number of Global Biogeochemical Cycles about the lateral transport of particulate organic carbon. Very, very interesting paper. Compulsory reading for all the members of the biological oceanography team.
