Something Old, Something new

January 6, 2017

WHOI’s newest research vessel and first building serve as a fitting image on this 87th anniversary of the Instituion’s founding. R/V Neil Armstrong arrived in Woods Hole in the spring of 2016 and has already completed research cruises in local and international waters. Activities in Bigelow Laboratory, named for WHOI’s founder, remain at the forefront of oceanography and include the development of new tools and new knowledge about the ocean.
