Ethan is exploring new ways of estimating carbon budgets for saltmarshes as part of our paper-writing working group (with the Fodrie Lab) that meets every Monday afternoon (and for his dissertation). We needed some help measuring rates of marsh accretion at Carrot Island, NC and convinced John Gunnell and Brent McKee to team up with us. On Monday May 20th we collected four cores of the saltmarsh that John will develop Pb-210 profiles from. Hope the wild horses didn’t disturb the area too much.
