To the top is a picture of the box corer that we use to collect our sediment samples. Below is a picture of my experiment. The flux chambers here are in an incubation chamber (that is the black you see in the background). In my hand is a picture of the magnetic stir bar that keeps the water in motion.; this cap goes on the flux chamber below.

p.s. I finally got to see whales and dolphins today! We finished station 8 around 8am this morning and we will be arriving at station 9 at 5pm. The water is very calm today and I had some time to sit on the upper deck and enjoy the sun. The splashes from the whales and dolphins are easy to spot with the calm water, I've seen about 15 and counting!
