Image Of the Day caption:
Bostwick H. "Buck" Ketchum is pictured working in jacket and tie aboard WHOI's original Atlantis in the mid-1950s. Ketchum was an early leader in developing the field of biological oceanography and his work formed the basis for understanding ocean productivity and called attention to human effects on the coastal zone. In his honor WHOI gives the Ketchum Award to scientists who provide leadership, show innovation in coastal research, and link coastal science and societal issues. In 2015, coastal oceanographer Candace Oviatt of the University of Rhode Island received the Ketchum Award.
Caption from Down to the Sea for Science, pg. 90:
Biologists Alfred Redfield and Bostwick Ketchum (shown here), who were professor and student, respectively, in the 1930s, worked together at WHOI for many years. They served in similar administrative positions both at WHOI and outside the institution.
