What They Did This Summer

The annual poster sessons by WHOI Summer Student Fellows are just one sign that summer is over. Each August, undergraduates in the SSF program produce a poster explaining their summer research project to WHOI scientists, graduate students, and fellow SSF students. Here, Rowena Schenck (foreground) from Amherst College describes her work on how microbes cycle sulfur through salt marsh ecosystems, while Taylor Hough (background) from Brown University presents his investigation into the composition of geologic formations known as Josephine ophiolites in the Klamath Mountains.
