One Fine Fellow

Senior Scientist Lloyd Keigwin, whose research focuses on climate and oceanographic change based on studies of deep-sea sediments, is among 14 new fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) elected in the field of Geology and Geography. AAAS officials cited Keigwin for “distinguished contributions to the study of the ocean’s role in climate change and for national and international leadership.” Shown here in the Institution’s Seafloor Samples Lab, Keigwin was among the first to document a change in Atlantic water mass properties during the last ice age.(Photo by Tom Kleindinst, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
