Mentoring

Its important to me to give the opportunity to students who work with me to experience the various aspects of my job. In all cases, this has involved analytical lab work, opportunities to participate in field work (research cruises, trips to lakes and estuaries, etc.), and opportunities to present work at a conference (typically the Northeast Geobiology Symposium or AGU).
