[Medin] Dr Clare Postlethwaite: New MEDIN Co-ordinator

[Rickards, Lesley J.]

Dear MEDIN Colleagues and Friends,

I am pleased to announce that Dr Clare Postlethwaite has been appointed coordinator of the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN).  Clare joined MEDIN two years ago as a member of the Core Team with responsibility for Metadata and Data Standards. During this time she has worked with members of the marine community from across the public and private sectors. Clare completed her PhD in Oceanography in 2002 and her background in oceanographic research means that in addition to the data management experience she has acquired since working for MEDIN she also has experience of generating large marine data sets and the problems associated with reusing other people’s marine data.

She believes MEDIN’s goal is to make it easier to share marine data and looks forward to working with you on ways to achieve this goal.

I would like to strongly encourage you and your organisations to work closely with Clare and continue your support for, and involvement with, MEDIN.

Kind regards,
Lesley
