Summary of Field Work: |
Characterize diatom silicification processes in natural communities in the Monterey Bay upwelling system off the West Coast of the U.S. This work will consist of water sampling, physiological measurements of silicification, and on-deck incubation experiments. The goal is to target three experimental stations consisting of high, intermediate, and low silicon waters. An 11-day cruise is proposed during the upwelling season between May-September. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will need a CTD with a Rosette consisting of 12 Niskin bottles (12L capacity). We will also need sufficient deck space, access to flowing seawater on the aft deck for incubators, a radioisotope van, freezers, refrigerators, fume hood. |
