Winter Sampling

so whats with all the gloves for different things how come you can't use just one pair or 2 pairs 7 thats alot

                                                                                                                                                alisha moore

Well...each glove has a different purpose, so you couldn't use them for something else. For example, the rubber gloves will be used when I am working with wet water samples. I wouldn't want rubber gloves on if I am not working with water. The thin gloves are neccessary because they will go UNDER my latex lab gloves...if I tried to use one of the padded gloves or work gloves, the latex gloves would rip. I agree - it does seem weird that I have to take that many!!!

ok I see ............ the answer to "Are there any bats in Alaska" ......The answer is proubly no because in the winter it is to cold for them .....Also, in the summer there is 24 hours of sunlight and they wouldn't be able to get food

Thu, 11/03/2011 - 23:54

Chantelle Rose

That is a good guess with solid reasoning for why the answer would be no....BUT Google it! I think you will be surprised!! : )

OH MY GOSH FIRST DAY BET YOUR EXCITED........... sooooooo are you excited .............. um soooooo like does the copepods just go into the machine or something else happen

Mon, 11/07/2011 - 12:23

Chantelle Rose

I am excited...we are about to set sail, so that will be even better! Basically, the copepods and other plankton and zooplankton are swimming through the water. As the water goes through the net, the animals are caught in a jar at the end of the net. That is the sample that we will look at to find them! : ) It's not a machine more like a process!

Chantelle Rose

The jar or codend is about the size of a 2 liter bottle, so pretty small.

Happy Birthday...and you CAN do things like me! All you have to do is research for opportunities and then apply for them! People who have a passion for learning can "find" these things to do!!

I will take your advise.... do you stay in the lab most of the time now that you have copepods

Tue, 11/15/2011 - 12:04

Chantelle Rose

I hang out in the lab mostly during the day. There are other things happening - like experiments that are based in the lab, so there is usually something going on!

yourzzzzz welcome ... did you by any chance talk about if copepods have body heat..... stupid quetion .... just curious.... I wasn't there the whole time!!!

Thu, 11/17/2011 - 11:49

Chantelle Rose

No body heat...copepods are invertebrates so they are cold blooded. Good question!

yep you should always want to learn new things...... so how long did you keep those cups in the water

Tue, 11/22/2011 - 09:15

Chantelle Rose

Good question...they went to a depth of 1675 meters...and they were lowered at a rate of 20 meters per minute for the first 100 meters,then at a rate 60 meters per minute until the bottom. In the way up,the Nisken bottles are fired to collect water samples so that means they stop and hover t each depth they are going to sample for about 3 minutes. The short answer- the trip to the bottom and back took about 110 minutes - almost twohours!!!!

have you talked with anyone on the satilight phone

that would be soo cool to be able to talk on a satilight phone

Mon, 12/05/2011 - 12:04

Chantelle Rose

It is cool...but a little annoying because of the time delay between the time you say something and the time the other person hears it...it can lead to people talking over one another! : )

Wow that's crazy if you have to talk over people

Tue, 12/06/2011 - 11:49

There is such a delay that you don't know the other person is talking until you have already started talking! It is weird!
