Image Of the Day caption:
After a long day deploying scientific equipment from the deck of the research vessel Nathaniel B. Palmer, WHOI mooring technician Meghan Donohue waits in the darkness for the go-ahead to cut the safety strap on an anchor of a mooring so that it can be dropped into the ocean and onto the seafloor. Donohue led mooring deployments on a month-long research cruise to the South Atlantic Ocean in the fall of 2016, just eight months after the birth of her first child. In an interview with Oceanus, Donohue discusses her career at sea and some of the challenges she has faced as a woman in oceanography.
