TAKING A CARBON SENSOR ON THE ROAD
The effects of climate change didn’t wane with the spread of the coronavirus. That’s why fifth year MIT-WHOI Joint Program student Mallory Ringham decided it would be imperative to keep testing the new carbon and pH sensor, CHANOS II. So she transported it from its home at WHOI marine chemist Aleck Wang’s chemistry lab to her native home of Syracuse, New York. The
device, which stands for CHaNnelized Optical System II, measures minute changes in ocean chemistry to help monitor the catalyzing effect of higher levels of carbon dioxide. To test it, Ringham had to lug 80 liters of seawater into her makeshift lab and siphon it through the device. Talk about bringing the ocean home with you!
