The lab will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) intern during summer 2018 with funding from the National Science Foundation. Applications due March 16. Click here for more information and […]
Sediment Exclusion Experiment
After a pilot installation, we installed the full-scale sediment exclusion experiment in the Delaware River in summer 2017. At two tidal marsh sites in the Delaware (Dividing Creek and Dennis […]
Tidal Creek Import/Export
We continued our tidal creek import/export measurements during the 2017 field season. We’ve measured the tidal exchange of materials (water, sediment, carbon, nutrients) several times at high-elevation and low-elevation marsh […]
Floating Chambers
We’ve put effort into understanding the verical marsh-atmosphere exchange of CO2 (through both chamber measurements and eddy covariance towers), and the later exchange of carbon through the import/export measurements, but […]
Winter Metabolism
We visited Plum Island for a winter sampling in March 2017. We got our wish: a frozen marsh! Chamber measurements with ice over the collars yielded very low measurements of […]
Sediment Exclusion Experiment
We visited our pilot sediment-exclusion plots in the Delaware River in November 2016. The plots had been installed in May 2016, and we weren’t sure how well they’d stand up […]
October Import/Export
We conducted tidal creek import and export measurements in mid October on the four sites we’ve been working on during 2016. Daylight is in somewhat shorter supply this time of […]
Early fall sampling
We took a quick trip to Plum Island for an early fall CO2 gas flux measurement. Brian, Mary, and Alec are measuring CO2 exchange between the marsh and the […]
Plum Island Sampling
Our last summer sampling in Plum Island! We’re doing tidal creek import/export on 4 creeks, a water-column production and respiration experiment, marsh CO2 gas flux measurements, and helping out with […]
Maine Sampling Trip
We visited tidal wetlands in the Kennebec River in coastal Maine as part of our survey of wetland accretion rates along the East Coast of the U.S. We collected 10 […]
