Excess fine grained oxic and anoxic sediments from a sample core taken from the Patuxent River
Fine sediments from Patuxent River
A sediment core has been collected and is being prepared for storage and analysis by carefully filling the core with water from the sample site to minimize disturbance.
Sediment core preparation
Tim Carruthers prepares a sediment corer with a rubber stopper. This corer is made by cutting off the top of a 60 mL syringe. Samples were collected from Maryland's Coastal Bays

Front view illustration of an Aweoweo, endemic to the Hawaiian islands. Native water and land birds (e.g., Nihoa finch), and seabirds use Aweoweo for food, nesting material or nesting sites. Early Hawaiians used the wood to form shark hooks (makau mano) fitted with bone points. Aweoweo leaves and shoots were wrapped in ti leaves, cooked and eaten in times of food scarcity by early Hawaiians.

The fragrant wood of this shrub or small tree has history as a significant trade commodity through the mid 19th century. Ancient Hawaiians also used the wood, bark and leaves.
