[EA Coast] Zanzibar: Final Progress Report

[Jurgen Theiss]

Dear all,

Gabriela Mayorga Adame has completed her three-month visit to the 
Institute of Marine Sciences (IMS) in Zanzibar where she set up the 
coastal model ROMS for the Zanzibar Channel. Her third and last 
progress report can be found at
http://www.theissresearch.org/zanzibar/progress.php.
She has also written a scientific report that summarizes her work. It 
can be found at
http://www.theissresearch.org/zanzibar/gabriela_final_report.pdf.

As always, I would be most grateful for any comments or suggestions 
you might have. Please consider joining the East African Coast mailing 
list, if you have not yet done so. It provides a forum for discussing 
coastal oceanography in East Africa. We have already 36 members. The 
subscription page is at
http://www.theissresearch.org/mailman/listinfo/east.african.coast

In September, Gabriela will start a Master's course in physical 
oceanography at the Oregon State University and be supervised by Hal 
Batchelder and Ted Strub.

We are currently planning to submit proposals to the US National 
Science Foundation (NSF) and the Carnegie Corporation of New York to 
request funds for sending more coastal modelers, like Gabriela, to IMS 
and other East African oceanographic institutions in the next few 
years. Our plan for a proposal to NSF has now matured and has become 
very concrete. If you are interested in our future activities please 
let me know.

Thank you very much for your interest and all the best,

Jurgen
