Meet our team

The interns all learned to implement the following and completed these processes multiple times with precision over the course of the summer:

• Construct zebra mussel monitoring devices and cages used in the experimental program;

• Deploy and track devices and cages. This involved daily inspections of all of the devices and  represented hundreds of hours of work;

• Collect phytoplankton samples using an accurate plankton towing method;

• Collect and analyze copper ion concentrations to parts per billions;

• Bio mass collection plates from ZM devices.
