Setting a Trap
March 26, 2009A sediment trap is prepared for deployment from the research vessel Oceanus during a cruise in the Gulf of Maine. The instrument collects sinking particles on a pre-programmed schedule and is used to measure the flux or export of carbon and other important geochemical and biological components through the ocean, useful in climate change studies.
