Ian, Alex Wolverton, and Ted Hermann participated in a 6 day cruise from Easton, MD to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on board the R/V Hugh F. Sharp, examining terminal electron acceptor usage in bacterioplankton transitioning from oxic to anoxic conditions via metatranscriptomics. Here are some photos of the expedition.
