Dr. Robert H. Meade, USGS Marine Scientist, inserts a smoked glass slide into a bathythermograph (BT). This instrument, familiar to all ocean researchers, records water temperature at various depths on the smoked glass slide. Meade is pictured here aboard the Research Vessel GOSNOLD, owned and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. This vessel has been used extensively by the WHOI - USGS team of scientists who are studying the geology of the Atlantic Continental Shelf and Slope.
