Day Trip

August 13, 2015

What looks like a well-stocked boat trip is actually a local scientific expedition, as University of California Santa Cruz chemist Carl Lamborg, WHOI post-doctoral scholar Julia Diaz, and WHOI biogeochemist Colleen Hansel (left to right) set off for a day of water sampling in Oyster Pond in Falmouth, Mass. The group is studying the biogeochemical processes responsible for the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their link to the cycling of mercury in coastal waters and ponds on Cape Cod.
