New Students, New Tasks

MIT/WHOI Joint Program students (left to right) Scott Haven, Adam Trainer, Nicholas Macfarlane, Daniel Amrhein and Melissa Moulton retrieve a water sampler during the 2010 Jake Peirson Summer Cruise aboard the SSV Corwith Cramer. Each year, new students are introduced to oceanography on a 10-day cruise in the North Atlantic aboard one of the sailing vessels operated by Sea Education Association. The annual cruise is named in honor of Jake Peirson, who worked at WHOI from 1967 to 1996, serving as Assistant Dean and Associate Dean/Registrar.(Photo courtesy of Nicholas Macfarlane, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
