microscope Summer of 2023 I took surface sediment samples with Andy Kemp and his postdoc researcher Emmanuel Bustamantes at Belle Isle Salt Marsh. In assisting them with collecting samples for climate science research, I took samples of my own to learn how to identify and mount different species of foraminafera.
