With the sad departure of Jon in March and now Kailey-Kimberly, the lab group has shrunk to a critically small size. Fortunately, we are also growing this summer. Welcome to Liana Meireles-Singh, Brandon Knox, Brittany Kimball, Christina Biladeau and Kelsey Powers, all of whom will be joining the research group for the summer. Liana is a 2007 alum, the next first three newbies are Oceanography majors about to graduate and Kelsey is a Chemistry major (ocean minor) inbetween her second and third years. |
What will all the newbies be doing? It will be an exciting summer.
- Liana will be creating the sediment archive and helping collect rainwater samples.
- Brandon Knox will be analyzing previously collected samples for their lignin content with Kelsey McDuffee.
- Kelsey Powers will be analyzing food products for their spice concentrations and beginning development of urban field sampling protocols.
- Christina Biladeau will be processing sediment samples for mineral surface area and XPS.
- Brittany Kimball will be analyzing existing and new samples on the GC-MS in order to evaluate the presence of trace organic contaminants in local waters.
