The Project LISS01719: “Nutrient and Carbon Fluxes through Long Island Sound (LIS), Linking River Sources to Impacted Areas”, begins in Spring 2017 and will be coupled with ongoing studies in Eastern LIS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations to Dr. Thivanka Ariyarathna for completing her doctoral studies December 2, 2016.

Catrina, our summer undergraduate research fellow (SURF) (advised by Astitha and Vlahos), was one of 3 recipients and the only undergraduate recipient of the award!!!! Way to go Catrina! She presented her summer work -“Prediction of harmful water quality parameters combining weather, air quality and ecosystem models with in-situ measurements” https://www.cmascenter.org/

This two year study will follow 300 patients with Stage 1 CKDu  to evaluate correlations between disease progression, water quality in rice fields and well waters and other risk factors.

We were just awarded a grant by the Dominion Foundation to initiate a pCO2 time series at Avery Point to trach changes in water CO2. The time series will bededicated to undergraduate education and will provide unprecedented pCO2 data for the region.
