Gulf Challenger cruise 2010

Hello, and welcome to Fall 2010! The Marine Ecology class headed out yesterday on our annual oceanographic cruise. For the second year in a row, we spent a great 1/2 day on the R/V Gulf Challenger out of New Castle, New Hampshire, and we made CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth), light, fluorescence, and oxygen measurements at three stations, one offshore and two in the Piscataqua River and Great Bay Estuary.
