Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 52, No. 2, pg. 44:
With WHOI's research vessel Atlantis anchored in Discovery Bay off Jamaica, a team of WHOI scientists is towed on a small boat to a blue hole in shallower waters. They use long pipes to core into sediments that settled to the bottom of the blue hole. The sediments contain forensic clues that the scientists use to reveal past patterns of hurricane and ocean temperatures, which can help us predict and prepare for hurricane activity in the future.
