Oceanus in Estuary
Submitted by Jeff Schilling on May 1, 2013 - 1:32pm
The CMOP science team is aboard the R/V Oceanus collecting and processing water samples in the Columbia River estuary. One person aboard the ship is Michelle Maier, a graduate student of Dr, Tawnya Peterson. She is studying how environmental variables - like climage change - influence the aquatic food chain in river ecosystems.
We want to thank our field team member Danny Lockett for snapping this photo of the ship while he was working at the SATURN-03 station. Read the Oceanus cruise plan and view a live webcam aboard the ship.
