So,
you've successfully made it to the 2004 Chemical Oceanography homepage.
Congratulations! If you didn't want to end up here, you probably won't
want to stick around. If you are where you want to be, you have my pity.
Er, I mean... Follow the
links on the far left for the minute details about this new and exciting
part of your academic career!
"Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
Otherwise known as recitation:
Fridays, 14:00-15:20,
Food Science 101
Things
to note as of: 12/07/2004
[a.k.a. Stardate
- -318066.34; Julian Day 2453347; D - 1,559,544,471 seconds (according to
the Death Clock)]
- 12/07 - No recitation on Friday, as I have to travel to Lamont to look at more sediment cores. Shucks. Also, your final exam is on the 16th, in 203, at 10am. As if you didn't already know that. If people want to have a make-up recitation/final exam review thingy, think of a day/time you want (except Sat 12-4) it and we'll try to make it happen. No stress!
- 11/12 - I added the solutions to recitation #7 (except for question 1, which will be used as a review as soon as I verify my own answers), as well as my NSF proposal to the left. Just in case it helped any.
- 11/09 - Another schedule change; class is on Thurs at 4:30pm in 203. Don't forget the peanut butter Rice Krispy treats!
- 11/01 - Class is meeting in Food Science 101 on Tues and Wed (11/2-3). Don't forget to vote!!
- 10/20 - Jean-Pierre's notes are on the left. Get them while you can, it will only be posted until the mid-term is over (that whole copyright issue thing)...
- 10/18 - Problem Set 1 answers are posted to the left. Recitation #5 answers are also posted; I figured it might help to see them in nicer writing than what I do... Next week's reading is posted. Problem Set #2 is posted. Have fun!
- 10/19 and 10/20 - Our guest lecturer is going to deliver his stuff on TUES and WED, 11:30am in the usual Food Science room. Yet another change, but this should be old hat now.
- 10/05 - Remember, no recitation this Friday (10/08). I -have- to take a trip to Cape May to do some sediment core work. Rejoice that you can spend a whole Friday in the lab this week!
- 09/28 and 09/29 - Sybil is going to be teaching again, and the class time/days are switched around. Hey, at least there was 1 week of normal... Anyway, class is Tues and Wed, both from 11:30 - 12:50 in FS 101 (like the original schedule).
- 09/22- The first problem set is out! Yea! And there goes the weekend...
- 09/17- The handing out of the problem set has been pushed back to Tuesday 21th. You will get a corresponding extension for doing it. I'm sure you're all bummed out about not being able to kill your weekend doing chem ocean...
- 09/13 and 09/14- Sybil will teach at 1:10pm on Monday in Thompson 201, and 11:30am on Tues in Food Science 101. One of these days we'll have a steady schedule... But not yet! Look for the change in schedule for the week of the 28th as well (already sent by email).
- 09/10- New stuff added to the left: Sybil's notes, new syllabus, NSF proposal assignment
- 09/07- After much discussion, the recitation will be at 2pm in Food Science 101 on Fridays. Perhaps another time will appear later, but that's what we're stuck with for now.
- 09/07- Class will be on Tues and Wed this week (like normal), switching to Mondays at Thompson Hall (Nutritional Sciences) 201 at 1:10 - 2:30, and Wednesday Food Science 101 at 11:30.
- 09/01- Class starts! And the first
recitation ( # 0 ) is posted at the left, for those wanting a quick chem
refresher...
-
08/04- The website is done! Huzzah!
For those rare times when you aren't going to be studying Chemical Oceanography:
*****Here begins links from the New Production 2005 Bermuda Cruise*****
*****Here ends the links for the Bermuda cruise
*****Here begins the links for "Garth's Fialab Pictures*****
-->Our machine is set up to take 2.5ml samples of the surface seawater. Part of the seawater is mixed with a substrate. Enzymes in the water break down the substrate, the product of which is fluorescent. This product is moved into the PMT fluorometer. The slope of the fluorescent signal over time is the activity of the enzyme. We then link this to the state of nutrient stress in the water column.
-->R/V Pelican, Gulf of Mexico cruises, July 2004
- Fialab 3500B set up on the R/V Pelican (off the Louisiana shelf).
- How I spent my summer vacation looking at the real-time output...
- Actual data in progress. The bungee cords help keep the computer from fall off when the waves pick up.
- Changing substrates on port 7
-Another Fialab set up shot. In addition to the system and fluorometer, we have a thermocouple-based thermometer on the top. Yes, that is a trash can to the right of the system. Seawater flows through the plastic hoses on the far left into the inverted soda bottle piece (covered in duct tape, far right). The sample hose leading to the syringe pump on the Fialab samples from this small reservoir.
-->R/V Oceanus, Sargasso Sea (Bermuda) cruises, Feb 2005
-Everyone else got a full bench for their filter racks. I got 1/4 for my set up. Go figure. The unit is the back left of the picture.
-The cruise for 30 days. At a sampling rate of 20 min/sample, that's a lot of data. Saving the data...
-->R/V Oceanus, Hudson River Plume (NY/NJ), April 2005
-Alas, no pictures of the Fialab yet. However, I used it for the LaTTE project where it helped define where the plume was, and the condition of nitrogen limitation mentioned in the Star Ledger article.
