core samples

During this cruise, scientists are collecting push-core samples to support a number of different projects related to biogeochemistry, marine viruses, sea-urchin community ecology, and geology. After the samples from the previous dive have been removed and the push cores cleaned and dried, Kate Segarra (left) and Matt Frye prepare nine push cores for the next Jason dive.
