The research conducted at the laboratory ranges from experimental determination of the partitioning of trace elements in natural systems, to the phase equilibria of basalts, to the development of new techniques for the re-homogenization of melt inclusions from naturally occurring lavas. For further information, see the pages for Roger Nielsen and Martin Fisk . This lab maintains cultures of marine bacteria, protozoa, and algae, and conducts marine microbiological research, including laboratory experimentation and field work. For more information, contact Profs. Ev Sherr and Barry Sherr .
Lab exists to support experimental investigations into the small scale physics of the ocean.
This requires an ongoing program of design and development of new sensors and platforms to be used in oceans and lakes around the world. For further information, contact Prof. Jim Moum or visit the Lab's web page . For further information, contact Profs. Nick Pisias or Alan Mix . The Ocean Optics group operates a facility for the in situ determination of optical properties.
