Readying and checking research equipment on the Aquarius during a cruise along the Patuxent River — Checking equipment on the Aquarius

Laboratory drying oven. Oyster tissue samples are on the bottom shelf and dried at 60 degrees Celcius overnight or until thoroughly dry. Dessicant is on the middle shelf to remove any moisture. — Drying oven

Fishing net

Samples are ground with mortar and pestle — Grinding with mortar and pestle

Oysters deployed as biological indicators of nitrogen source were dried and then ground for stable nitrogen isotope analysis. Muscle tissue is on the left, gills are in the middle, and mantle tissues are on the right. — Ground oyster tissue

For stable isotope analysis, small subsamples of homogenously ground oyster tissues in the scintillation vial are placed in the tin capsule, held by the forceps. — Ground oyster tissue and tin capsule

Oyster shells are cleaned and dried in preparation for larval settling as part of the Oyster Restoration Project and the Horn Point Laboratory oyster hatchery. — Oyster shells for restoration

Oyster shells are cleaned and dried in preparation for setting oyster larvae for restoration, as part of the Oyster Restoration Project in conjunction with the Horn Point Laboratory oyster hatchery. — Oyster shells for restoration

Palm tree at sunset on Maui swaying in the evening breeze — Palm Sunset

Collecting plankton along the Patuxent River — Plankton collection

On deck the Aquarius during a cruise along the Patuxent River — Raingear on deck

David Needham adds formalin to sample bacteria and viruses in a tributary of Monie Bay, National Estuarine Research Reserve — Sampling bacteria and viruses in Monie Bay, NERRS

Preparing a sediment core for sampling — Sediment core preparation

This sediment grab remains open when sent to the bottom and the release snaps shut the mouth for sediment collection. — Sediment grab

Sediment slurries in 125 mL Erlenmeyer flasks capped with rubber stoppers to prevent gas exchange for indirect measurements of denitrification using acetylene inhibition techniques — Sediment slurries

Sediments from the Patuxent River are sifted through onboard the R/V Aquarius to collect and identify benthic organisms — Sifting for benthic organisms

Snow and ice on the rocks by the beach at Horn Point Laboratory — Snow on the rocks

Urban stream in Szombathely, Hungary — Urban stream

Urban stream with buffer zone in Szombathely, Hungary. Steep banks suggest erosion effects. — Urban stream

Water samples from the Patuxent River are prepared for analysis on board the R/V Aquarius — Water sample preparation

Cicada from Brood X — Brood X Cicada

Oyster biological indicators are deployed in mesh cages that will be suspended 0.5 meters above the bottom by the white buoys and anchored by the bricks. — Cages for deploying oyster biological indicators

Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) settle on other oyster shells, forming reef structures. These reefs attract other organisms as well, including mussels. — Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica)

Haleakala Volcano's crater creates a variety of geological structures with various geochemical compositions — Haleakala Crater, Maui
