The Dissertation: Nobody Gets Here Alone

The dissertation. A four-syllable word that signifies years of classes, research, field work, and of course, writing.

From the outside, this can seem like a pretty daunting task, especially for an already-busy graduate student to accomplish. However, when it comes to the dissertation, nobody walks alone. And here at UNH, PhD candidates (and graduate students overall) have a variety of community resources to lean on as they complete their degrees. Ìý

Making Waves

Underwater sounds look like the rings inside a tree trunk, wi-fi icons, fat tubes of ziti loosely arranged on a plate. At least they do in the work of artist Lindsay Olson, who collaborated with Jennifer Miksis-Olds, director of the UNH Center for Acoustics Research and Education, to visualize the underwater soundscape of sea life in the Atlantic Ocean.
