We collected 8 cores from the New River Estuary to help our colleagues at VIMS and UCONN derive a carbon budget for the estuary. Cores were collected using the R/V Jenny and transported to IMS for subsampling. Brent McKee will be measuring sedimentation rates from the cores in his lab at Chapel Hill. Others will be looking at the amount and type of carbon preserved in the estuary through time.
Cores ready for transport to the lab.
