Research assistant Justin Ossolinski (right) helps deploy a sediment trap from the fantail of research vessel Knorr in 2012. Ossolinski is the 2013 recipient of the Ryan C. Schrawder Award, which is given annually to a junior staff member who has become a valuable asset to research projects at sea and ashore. The award was named in honor of engineer assistant Ryan Schrawder of the subsurface mooring group, who died in 2004 after a traffic accident. Ossolinski’s nomination cited his great work ethic, sense of fun at work, can-do attitude, and contributions to the WHOI Scientific Diving Program.(Photo by Benjamin van Mooy, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
