WHOI faculty and students pose for a photo during an “Elements of Modern Oceanography” class field trip on the coastal research vessel Tioga. The course, led by WHOI physical oceanographer Anthony Kirincich and WHOI biologist Gareth Lawson (center-left, wearing hats), introduces students to physical, biological, and chemical oceanography, as well as marine geology—and the interdisciplinary nature of ocean science research. Students also learn how to use scientific instruments and equipment, such as this Van Veen sediment sampler. Graduate students from the MIT-WHOI Joint Program as well as undergraduates from the Semester at WHOI program and MIT participated in this recent outing.
