They are all first-year JPBO students. This photo was taken on the field trip for the Biological Oceanography introductory course (MIT 7.47, Sam Laney & Lauren Mullineaux, instructors), that we have on RV Tioga in spring semester. The purpose of this field exercise is to provide students with hands-on experience with the practical aspects of sampling and identifying benthic and pelagic marine organisms at sea.
Image of The Day caption:
This spring, first-year MIT/WHOI Joint Program students enrolled in an introductory course in biological oceanography had the opportunity to participate in a field exercise on R/V Tioga. During the cruise, students gained first-hand experience in sampling and identifying organisms that live in the ocean or beneath the seafloor. Here, first-year students (left to right) Esther Shyu, Emily Brownlee, Kathleen Pitz examine the remains of a tube from a tube-building worm brought up by a grab sampler moments before. The worms' burrows help bring aerated water into bottom sediments and provide microhabitats for other small invertebrates and microbes.
