Returning to the field!
In our last issue, we shared pictures of Joint Program students collecting environmental samples for analysis, working with underwater robots, and more! Many of those pictures were from the pre-COVID world. Some showed JP students at work in masks during COVID, but many students had to postpone fieldwork during 2020. Now, during the summer of 2021, more students are returning to fieldwork! We have some updated pictures to share of JP students at work!
The pictures below are all of JP students working at sea on the recent EXPORTS research cruise (Note: An oceanographic research "cruise" is very different from a pleasure cruise! It involves a lot of hard work!). EXPORTS (EXport Processes in the Ocean from Remote Sensing) is a multi-year, multi-institution oceanographic project, the goal of which is to better understand the fate of carbon in the global ocean. You can read more about it here.
