Dr Ken Mann has taught at universities in England and in
Canada and has carried out research on various aquatic ecosystems
including the River Thames and the kelp beds and estuaries of
eastern Canada. He is currently a Research Scientist Emeritus at
the Bedford Institute of Oceanography.
Dr John Lazier has been a physical oceanographer at the
Bedford Institute of Oceanography since the early 1960s. His
principal interest has been the circulation of the northwest
Atlantic Ocean, especially the response of the Labrador Sea to
decadal changes in the weather. He continues this work as a
Research Scientist Emeritus.
