Journal Entry
UTEP AQUATIC ECOLOGY
For the past two weeks I started to get my researcher legs back... it's a good thing. Good practice for my upcoming trip! I have got to meet the researchers coming with me to Utqiagvik in July. In later journals I will be introducing the team and their respective projects.
Assisting UTEP Undergrad to keep pigeons away from the emerging vegetation on the roof of the Biology Building.
I've relearned to use the YSI-multiprobe, which will be used to sample water from the ponds. Getting a refresher on bathymetry, carbon uptake, nutrient availability, and seeing some of the awesome things that UTEP is doing on the roof.
YSI-multiprobe will collect pH, temperature, DO, and other parameters.
I learned how to use the Innova, a device that collects carbon and methane gas. I'll update on how all this technology works in the field.
