Learning Science at Sea

Partnership Education Program student Amber Durand (center, Howard University) reads WHOI Summer Student Fellows Luka Catipovic (left, UMass Amherst) and Julianna Renzi (right, University of Arizona) the step-by-step protocol for measuring dissolved oxygen in the seawater samples they just collected. The exercise was part of a recent day of field work aboard WHOI’s coastal research vessel Tioga. The annual summer cruise gives students hands-on experience with advanced oceanographic technology and instruments, and teaches them about data collection and sampling methods.
