You've finally found the homepage of the Webb!

I'm Helen Webb, a grad student studying Marine Geophysics in the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography/Oceanographic Engineering. Unlike most Joint Program students, I am based at MIT in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences.

Below is my personal world-wide web, mostly woven of travels associated with studying the ocean floor; the Webb web, so to speak.

To glimpse a bit of the world at each of the numbered location, select a number below. All photos by me except for 18 (Colleen Cavanaugh) and 7 (Yu Jin, I think.)

1 Mt. Cook National Park, New Zealand / 2 Royal Palace, Kingdom of Tonga / 3 Outside the Dateline Hotel / 4 Typical Tahitian Waterfall / 5 A Bird!! / 6 A dreary day on Easter Island / 7 Me on R/V Maurice Ewing in port, Valparaiso, Chile / 8 Springtime in the desert / 9 Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland / 10 Lisbon walkway / 11 Creeping hotel fungus, Gran Canaria / 12 Cathedral bit, Strasbourg / 13 Kew Gardens / 14 Rio from Mt. Sugarloaf / 15 The late R/V Conrad, ready to go / 16 Sunset / 17 Hello we must be going / 18 Science party photo aboard R/V Knorr / 19 Azores View / 20 There were interesting rocks out back.

When I am not out at sea, I am usually in the Green Building or communing with my husband, Chris Murphy. Aren't we CUTE?

Since my thesis isn't keeping me nearly busy enough, I have been plotting the locations of people who subscribe to the Patric O'Brian Listserv, a mailing list for discussing the works of Patrick O'Brian, and/or to Searoom-l, a mailing list for discussing O'Brian's works, other nautical literature, and sailing vessels. To see the map, click here.
Click here to see links I want to be able to get to when I'm away from my bookmarks.
I'm not the only World Wide Webb! And here I thought I was being so clever.

Kelsey Jordahl is a fellow Joint Program student, as is Jun Korenaga. Christina Munch is finishing up a Master's at the University of Hawaii. Chris Keeley is the Coordinator of the RIDGE program, and has a much spiffer homepage than I do. Richard Kaminsky is designing and marketing security equipment with Electronic Security Equipment (ESE).

And although earth scientists are normally described as a bunch of "nice guys and jocks":
