Going with the flow

MIT/WHOI Joint Program graduate students and their instructors take a break from hiking for a group photo at the base of Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica during a June 2008 field study tour. Each annual WHOI Geodynamics Seminar Series concludes with a trip to critical geological locations related to the program’s themes. The 2008 series focused on convergent plate boundary systems, which host a range of processes, including planetary-scale volatile and geochemical cycling, tectonics, seismicity, and volcanism.
