Wednesday R/V Tioga field trip with 2015 Summer Student Fellows.
Image Of the Day caption:
A petri dish holds seafloor sediment from Buzzards Bay, Mass. Each year WHOI Summer Student Fellows spend a day aboard R/V Tioga learning about oceanographic instruments and sampling. This year's instructors--Bruce Tripp, Cindy Sellers, George Hampson and Hovey Clifford--showed students how to collect and sieve sediment samples to find animals living in the sea floor, among other things. This summer's samples showed a continued trend of declining diversity and number of deep bottom-dwelling invertebrate animals in Buzzards Bay. Hampson and Clifford have tracked these changes for more than six years, though they are not sure of the cause.
