It has been an extremely productive summer in our lab! I have really enjoyed working with all these wonderful people on Deep Sea Mining, Emerging Contaminants, Oil Spill, and Red Tide projects! @eckerdcollege@ECMarineScience#chemoccrew
Students from @eckerdcollege are currently working on their research projects after an FIO-sponsored cruise on the R/V Hogarth earlier in the semester where they sampled six stations in Tampa Bay. Stations were situated along a transect of environmental gradient from (1/3)
Chemical & Physical Oceanography students @eckerdcollege were instructed, by Asst Prof of #MarineScience@PatrickTSchwing, in the properties of conductivity and temperature relative to ocean depth on a recent Tampa Bay research cruise. The sunset vistas were informative too.
5 presentations by @eckerdcollege , Scientist at Sea (SAS) Program faculty, peer mentors, and students on the SAS program, oil spill (stable and radioisotopes) and deep sea mining research (multiple geochemical proxies) at the #gsaconnects2023 meeting.

@eckerdcollege was well represented at the #Forams2023 meeting in beautiful Perugia, Italy. Proud of the fantastic work these folks are doing. Thank you for a great meeting and look forward to all the new collaborations!
3) And seeing them rethink their definition of a ‘cruise’!” - Sherryl Gilbert, Program Manager, COMIT. #USF @FlOceanography @TampaBayWatch @USGS https://t.co/5qETANHC03
Challenged to #ThinkOutside onboard Florida Institute of Oceanography's state-of-the-art R/V Hogarth, #MarineScience students, Sophia Chernoch '22 and Olivia Bickett '22 @eckerdcollege, examine phytoplankton samples during research cruise of Tampa Bay @PatrickTSchwing@FIOTweet
Eckerd College geosciences faculty recently received a more than $380,000 @NSF grant to help recruit more students to the discipline. The funds will create more research opportunities for majors on big issues like marine pollution and climate science.

“We were lucky to be able to mobilize this group in short order,” said Tom Frazer, dean of the #USF College of #MarineScience. “This presents a unique opportunity for these scientists to do what they do best.” #PineyPointUpdate#PineyPoint@FIOTweet@usfsp https://t.co/sklSFMs5PY
Eckerd researchers Patrick Schwing ’06, Visiting Assistant Professor of Marine Science, and Rebekka Larson ’01, Research Scientist, are on the water today taking water and sediment samples in Tampa Bay that will be used to analyze the effects of the #PineyPoint wastewater flow.
