Presenting the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Team

From the Oceanographic Department, left to right:

Chris Linder: Chris is not only a oceanographer but also a professional photograph. For all those who love nature and spectacular scenery, visit his personal website: http://www.chrislinder.com

Andrey Shcherbina: We figured if he could programme a half million piece of equipment (REMUS) surely he could help us repair our internet connection!

Glen Gawarkiewicz: Leader of the Oceanography expedition at Glovers Reef. Glen usually works in polar waters but seems to have addapted quickly to the tropical weather.

From the Biology Department, left to right:

Jesus Pineda: Jesus works on larvae dispersal . Although he usually work on barnacle larvae ("because they are easy to study") he found a new interest in Rum confection. Just ask any cab driver in Belize City.

For more information on his lab: http://science.whoi.edu/labs/pinedalab/

Harvey Walsh: A quiet biologist (or was that because we had 2 kiwis on the station at the same time and no room to manoeuvre?) . Harvey also works on larvae dispersal.

Simon Thorrold: Leader of the Biology expedition at Glovers Reef. Simon will be continuing his work on Glovers Reef, tagging Nassau Grouper larvae and looking at the implication of larvae dispersal for management of these populations. Simon spent many hours testing the wireless from his balcony and chasing after ghosts.
