The current
issue of Oceanus magazine features stories written by MIT/WHOI Joint
Program students. Read about path-breaking oceanographic research
from the eyes of those in the field and the lab.
A new study by
a WHOI-led team analyzes levels of radioactivity discharged into the ocean from
the Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant in the first four months after the
accident.
Since 2001, a set of moored
instruments and repeated research cruises across the Gulf Stream
have helped form an unprecedented view of ocean circulation in part of the
North Atlantic.
Friends of WHOI recently joined
Director Susan K. Avery and Senior Scientist Susan Humphris on an expedition to
one of the world's most beautiful wildlife sanctuaries on South Georgia
Island.
