Obituary: Dr. David Thomas Pugh (1943-2022)
, 1943. Although his birthplace was Liverpool, where his father was a police officer, the family moved shortly afterwards to Trefnanney in Powys where his two parents taught at the same school. He was an undergraduate at University College London and was awarded a PhD in Geodesy and Geophysics from Cambridge University in 1968. His thesis was entitled ‘The Thermal Environment of the Deep-Sea Floor’. This work involved David in his share of sea-going, in the company of scientists from the National Institute of Oceanography at Wormley, and it led to a Nature paper on hot brines in the Red Sea in
NOC Celebrates Raymond Pollard
Wormley to the Chilworth Science Park before moving into the then newly built Southampton Oceanography Centre in 1995, which would later become the National Oceanography Centre.Pollard began his career by completing an honours degree in mathematics at the University of Cape Town before studying at Cambridge University for his doctorate. His thesis on the theory of near surface inertial oscillations led him to the Woods Hole Buoy Group, where he made the first high quality observations of the structure of inertial oscillations and their propagation of wind energy into the upper ocean.As Pollard's career
New Offshore Wind Foundation Tested
A “potentially revolutionary” new offshore wind foundation is being put to the test, says hydraulic engineering and offshore renewable energy specialist HR Wallingford.The company is working with partners Offshore Design Engineering (ODE), DNV-GL, Cambridge University and the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult to test and certify the Gravity Tripod, a new offshore wind foundation concept designed by Offshore Wind Logistics and Construction (OWLC).The solution, which is currently being subjected to extensive physical model testing, is intended to help keep costs down as offshore wind
Arctic Sea Ice Retreat Pinned to Individuals' Emissions -Study
of greenhouse gases. "Here it's more personal," lead author Dirk Notz of the Max Planck Institute told Reuters. Some other scientists said the study was simplistic. "This sounds like a rather crude equation," Peter Wadhams, a professor of ocean physics at Cambridge University, told Reuters. He said ice could disappear from the Arctic Ocean as early as 2017 or 2018 because of other factors triggered by man-made climate change, such as shifts in winds and rising sea temperatures. In September 2016, sea ice shrank to an annual minimum extent of 4
