Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 49, No. 1. December 2011:
Handed a mask and fins and sent into the crashing surf off La Jolla, Calif., Rachel Horwitz got her start at WHOI in the Swashzone Student Fellowship program led by Britt Raubenheimer, a scientist in the WHOI Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering Department. Four months on a beach made oceanography seem like a pretty sweet job, and two subsequent years working at the U.S. Geological Surveys Woods Hole Science Center made Woods Hole feel like home. Now a Ph.D. student in the Physical Oceanography Department, Horwitz studies wind-driven circulation just south of Marthas Vineyard, Mass., with her advisor, Steve Lentz. When shes not working, she likes the springy, upside-down sorts of sports, especially pole-vaulting, with occasional trips to gymnastics and the climbing gym. Shes pretty good at pull-ups, too. More recently, the mask and fins were used to collect quahogs and scallops for dinner. Science journalist and book author Dallas Murphy was her mentor on this article.
