About the JGView Development Team JGView was designed specifically to meet the needs of U.S. JGOFS. Designed by: Cyndy Chandler and Adam Shepherd Programmed by: Adam Shepherd Developed at: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole, MA 02543 Cyndy Chandler Cyndy arrived in Woods Hole, MA in 1975 as a summer student at the Marine Biological Laboratory. She started at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in the Biology Department as a benthic taxonomist in 1978, then joined the Physical Oceanography Department in 1980 as a CTD technician. Between 1979 and 1986 she participated in 21 oceanographic research cruises aboard UNOLS vessels, logging a total of 489 days at sea. She eventually came ashore and worked as a UNIX system programmer with the Computer and Information Services group at WHOI until 1994 and then joined the WHOI Marine Chemistry Department providing information systems support for the Petroleum Organic Geochemistry Group. She began doing applications programming for U.S. JGOFS in 1999 and officially joined the U.S. JGOFS Data Management Office in September 2000 as systems and database manager. Cyndy is interested in effective use of information technologies to facilitate scientific collaboration and the advancement of oceanographic research. Adam Shepherd Adam joined the Computer and Information Systems department of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in 2000 as part of the Cooperative Education program of Northeastern University. A Reggie Lewis Scholar, Adam graduated with a B.S. of Computer Science in 2001 from Northeastern University where he was also awarded the 2001 Co-op Award for outstanding achievements as part of the cooperative learning program. After graduation, Adam returned to WHOI as an application developer where he has developed Java web applications, dynamic data processing systems, and data content management systems. Currently, Adam's research interests include distributed computing, platform independent programming, database design, web to database integration, web application programming, and data retrieval methods.
