Letter from the Head of Department, Rob van der Hilst.


Unlocking the secrets of the blue marble we call home: EAPS scientists working collaboratively to leverage our unique wealth of physical, chemical, and biological ocean know-how.

MIT professor and astrophysicist Sara Seager is among 24 recipients nationwide of 2013 MacArthur Fellowships, sometimes referred to as “genius grants.”
