Description

I am a graduate research assistant in the Estapa Lab focusing on chemical oceanography and microplastics. Particularly, I am determining whether plastic fibers are being incorporated and transported within the biological carbon pump. I will also be looking at the effect plastics have on the particle buoyancy of marine snow and whether plastics aggregate enough to slow the rate of transport.
