MBFE - Monday and Tuesday 5/13-14 - Lecture and research

Sorry this posting is not particularly action packed, but some days are like that.  But wait until the next posting...

Yep, we have reached that stage of the MBFE where our days are now taken up by one lecture each day and the rest of that day is devoted to research.  So, there's not a lot to tell about Monday 5/13, except that we spent about 2.5 hours in the morning learning about the plankton community.  On Tuesday our topic was shallow water benthic communities, like soft-sediment habitats, kelp forests and seagrass beds.

We did this in preparation for our final class outing - a trip on the University of Oregon's research vessel, the RV Pluteus, but that's a tale for the next posting.

The research teams are getting underway nicely.  More on that another time.

Stay tuned!
