Organic carbon in vesicles
Vesicles are small particles released by organisms which can contribute to carbon cycling in marine environments. Through a collaboration with Steve Biller at Wellesley College, I am examining the concentration of organic carbon in vesicles in order to understand the factors governing the distribution and fate of organic carbon in vesicles.

Capturing vesicles from seawater requires filtering large volumes of water.
