Adelphi University researchers Amanda Uster and Beth Christensen (right) open a sediment core retrieved from the continental shelf off New Jersey during an August 2007 expedition on the research vessel Knorr. The cruise, led by researchers from the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics, was designed to investigate how sediments were laid down over the last 50,000 years.
