Kidding, kidding- these are sediment samples after I've dried them in an oven. This is only a temporary reprieve for these poor guys. After I weigh them, they'll be put into a combustion oven to cook at a balmy 525 degrees C! All this will ultimately allow me to calculate sediment parameters like porosity (the % of the sediment that's taken up by space instead of, well, sediment).https://underthecblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/p3311634.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAI may be spending a lot of time in lab, but at least we have beautiful jade plantshttps://underthecblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/p3311640.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAToday's activity, which may or may not have inspired this post topic: mopping the environmental chamber!

PC: Abbey Vinsonhttps://underthecblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/debris.jpgDebrisThe first day of collecting debris was at Carrot Island on the Taylor’s Creek side. It was a windy, grey day which did not make for the most pleasant conditions. Diving to collect subtidal data was impossible in the black water. But we still managed to keep smiles on our faces since there was plenty of supratidal and intertidal trash. PC: Abbey Vinsonhttps://underthecblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/bac-debris.jpgBac debrisAnother of the subgroups which includes Ryan Leighton (pictured) is focused on bacterial analysis of the debris to see what kinds of bacteria are living on the trash and whether it is harmful to humans.
