“OCEANOGRAPHY IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION”

ATHENS 12-16 JULY 2012

            The ICHO meeting this summer, to be held in Athens from 12-16 July, has been delayed indefinitely. Despite the admirable and well-organized plans of the local committee, headed by George Vlahakis, there was not a large enough response from the ICHO community to support an international congress. While there may have been great concern about financial issues within the European community to cause the modest response, it is hoped that a delay in scheduling the meeting will enable more ICHO members to prepare submissions for ICHO IX.

            Scholars who have submitted papers for presentation this summer are encouraged either to delay these presentations, to submit them for publication in the ICHO newsletter, or to consider submitting them for the oceanography session at the IUHPS meeting in Manchester (see information in this newsletter, "Call for Papers"). Please contact Keith Benson (krbenson@pugetsound.edu) if you are interested in publishing in the newsletter.

            A new schedule for the meeting will soon be posted on the ICHO website, www.oceanhist.org. Please contact George Vlahakis (gvlahakis@yahoo.com) or Keith Benson (krbenson@pugetsound.edu or krbenson@interchange.ubc.ca) for more information.
