A melting pot Researchers in oceanography come to the field from all sides: physicists, biologists, geologists, geographers, hydrologists, mathematicians and many more. As a result, there can be a confounding number of terms for the same thing. An example...
In the Beginning… In the 1960’s oceanographers started suggesting that sinking particles were a main source of food and nutrient delivery to deep-sea organisms. Researchers soon conceived and deployed sediment traps to investigate further (Wiebe...
Understanding particle behavior in the aquatic environment is fundamental to unraveling key processes in biogeochemistry, sediment transport, and ecosystem dynamics. Since 1995, Sequoia’s LISST and Hyper instruments have become important tools for quantifying...
