Joint Program Students Go With the Flow

In an MIT/WHOI Joint Program class in Marine Chemistry, WHOI Senior Scientist Scott Doney discusses the chemical composition of seawater and how it varies geographically and with time. The course also covers the influence of rivers, the atmosphere, sediments and the ocean crust on seawater chemistry and the internal chemical cycling within the sea as a result of marine life, ocean circulation and chemical reactions. The course is also taught by WHOI Associate Scientist Ben Van Mooy and is being linked by videoconference to students at MIT.(Photo by Tom Kleindinst, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
