PROJECT DESCRIPTION :

We have initiated a seawater sampling program in the San Juan Archipelago intended to generate a time series of carbonate chemistry measurements in local waters. The project builds on an existing sampling program directed by Jan Newton combined with new work by students and faculty at FHL, including O’Donnell, Carrington, and Klinger. Focused biological research is conducted by student investigators and in several courses offered at FHL. Student training in ocean acidification research is a chief objective of the integrated program.
