Origin of HIG(P)

1. Origin of HIG(P) 1958 Territorial Legislature of Hawaii established HIG, and NSF provided $3M in funds Building completed in 1963 George P. Woollard was 1st HIG Director 1958 Territorial Law included “…[HIG shall conduct] application of research results relevant to Territorial problems.”

13. Issues for Discussion with Dean’s Office Return of Faculty Positions following retirements Long-term objectives for High Pressure Mineral Physics Physical Space for Major New Projects: e.g., Lunar Science Institute, HSFL What should the Teaching Role be for HIGP? Trend towards more post-docs rather than grad students What is the Future for Soft-Monied Faculty? Director of HIGP – How do we train in-house a possible 5th Institute Director?

14. Topics for Today Cross-Cutting Science Infrasound – Milton Garces High Pressure Material Physics – Pavel Zinin Atmospheric Science – John Porter DoD/DHS – Roy Wilkens and Paul Lucey Raman Spectroscopy – Anupam Misra Planetary Cosmochemistry – Klaus Keil Planetary Instruments – Paul Lucey Planetary Geology – Jeff Gillis-Davis Terrestrial Geology and Geophysics Seismology – Cecily Wolfe Geodesy/Deformation – James Foster Rock Magnetism - Emilio Herro-Berverra Volcanology – Sarah Fagents and Andy Harris Marine Studies MG&G Research – Patty Fryer HMRG – Margo Edwards Ocean Observing – CRESPO – Paul Lucey
