Image of The Day caption:
Kurt Polzin (center, in white shirt and no cap) pulls his weight on the Sea Education Association's SSV Westward in 1990, during one of the first MIT-WHOI Joint Program "new student" summer cruises. The Joint Program (JP) is one of the premier marine science programs in the world, and today the Jake Peirson Summer Cruise is a tradition for all incoming JP students. During the weeklong adventure, students learn hands-on oceanography and seamanship. Polzin, now an associate scientist in Physical Oceanography, is one JP alumnus in this photo; can anyone identify the others?
Caption from Down to the Sea for Science, Pg. 127:
Each summer, students entering the Joint Program participate in a week-long group adventure aboard a Sea Education Association ship. Here students and members of the brigantine Westward's crew haul in a line at the beginning of the first "oceanographic orientation cruise" in 1990. Fifteen new students and eight upperclass students participated that year.
