Fall at MIT brings a new semester’s worth of coursework, changing scenery, and, for members of the Program in Atmospheres, Oceans and Climate (PAOC) within MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS), a much-anticipated escape for scientific discussion, recreation, and relaxation.
This year’s annual PAOC retreat, which took place on Saturday, September 29th, 2018, and was generously supported by the Houghton Fund, brought faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from Woods Hole and Cambridge to the MIT Endicott House, a magnificent 25-acre historic estate located 10 miles south of Boston in Dedham, Massachusetts.
