WHOI marine chemist Elizabeth Kujawinski (left) and research associate Melissa Kido Soule monitor a mass spectrometer that can detect and identify molecules in low concentrations within a mixture of compounds. Kujawinski and her colleagues used finely-tuned analytical instruments and techniques to track minute amounts of oil and gas components from water samples taken in the Gulf of Mexico after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (Photo by Tom Kleindinst, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
