CHANGE ATWOODS HOLE. Robert Gagosian is stepping down as head of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Massachusetts. The 61-year-old marine geochemist, who has led WHOI since 1994, plans to devote himself to raising the "visibility of the ocean sciences, nationally and internationally."

Since 2000, Gagosian has helped create four ocean institutes, launched a new coastal research vessel, got funding to replace WHOI's 42-year-old research submarine Alvin, and raised $150 million.

Executive vice president James Luyten will take over as acting director when Gagosian steps down next month.
