In the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (GFD) Laboratory at WHOI, Jack Whitehead sets up experiments using real materials: water, salt, wax. He puts water-filled plastic containers, representing oceans, on spinning turntables that simulate Earth's rotation. "I explore the basic principles of how fluids move on the dynamic Earth," said Whitehead, summarizing his four decades of research. [Source: Oceanus - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute]
