Dr. George F. Crozier, Executive Director of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, retired at the end of 2007. Dr. Crozier's involvement with coastal Alabama began in 1968 as Assistant Director of the University of Alabama's Marine Science Program. In 1971, the Marine Environmental Sciences Consortium (MESC) was enacted by the Alabama Legislature as a vehicle to promote marine science in the state and to minimize duplication of programs in its consortium universities. In 1972, the MESC moved to the former Air Force Radar Base on Dauphin Island; Crozier became its Chief Scientist, finally becoming Executive Director in 1977. (read more)

Each year, Divers Alert Network (DAN) invites students to participate in a summer internship program. Interns gain experience, make professional contacts, and support a variety of diving safety research projects and initiatives. The research most strongly associated with the internship program is Project Dive Exploration (PDE), which collects computerized dive profile and health outcome data to model risk of real world exposures. While PDE remains an important project, interns are increasingly matched to a wider array of projects to fit their individual interests and abilities. DAN places interns around the world in such locations as Scotland, Grand Cayman, Santa Cruz, and DAN Headquarters. This summer DAN decided to try something new. An intern with an interest in scientific diving was to be made available to the main office of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS). This plan was to benefit all-the intern would gain firsthand experience in scientific diving operations, AAUS would receive much appreciated support, and DAN would gain additional data from the scientific diving community.
