Image of The Day caption:
Graduate student Meagan Gonneea stands on a beach in Akumal Bay on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, between kayaks loaded with pumps and barrels to collect water. The flow of water ending at the yellow kayak marks where groundwater--water running underground and carrying nutrients, chemicals, and pollutants--discharges into the bay. Gonneea works in the lab of WHOI chemist Matt Charette to study this precipitation-driven flow, analyzing the water for isotopes of radium, a trace element used to determine the timing and volume of water running underground to the sea.
