The Last Quiet Week

Not a big update for this week, but Adele, my collaborator from Sweden who is an expert in marine biogeochemistry, arrives later this evening so that we can start this final project either tomorrow or Saturday, depending on how we are feeling and if everything is working as it should. Once the experiment starts, we will let it run for about two weeks and we will collect data every other day to track bioturbation and oxygen turnover in the sediments incubating at the lab. As this project is pretty intensive with regards to the time commitment, I will be staying over at the marine lab, which will provide quick access to the experimental set up and saves me a 2.5 hour drive daily (that's time spent driving there and back combined, not separate). Over the next two weeks we will hopefully have an exciting time getting this work done and putting it together, with the hopes of presenting this work at the upcoming Ocean Sciences meeting this February.

More to follow on this exciting final stage of my dissertation research.
