The Krauss, Steinmuller, and Roberts labs, collaborators from Tulane & Li-COR installed an eddy covariance sensor in a salt marsh. The instrument will measure real-time CO₂ exchange between marsh and atmosphere to track seasonal patterns in photosynthesis and carbon flux.

Important and useful skills to have in marine science (and life) are how to use a compass and wayfinding. Yesterday our Science Semester class learned and practiced these skills!
We are so proud of them for these and all their accomplishments!
