Sarah Jayne (Northeastern co-op student) and Kelsey Gosselin (research assistant), both of whom work in Amanda Spivak's lab in Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry. Sarah has the red hair. They are sectioning sediment cores that were collected from several different lakes in the Kennebec river watershed in Maine, with the goal of understanding how damming affects the biological and chemical structure of the lake ecosystems.

Kelsey Gosselin, a research assistant in the lab of WHOI biogeochemist Amanda Spivak, saws into a core collected from the Kennebec River watershed in Maine. Spivak is working with biologist Joel Llopiz to assess how river herring impact the waters biological and chemical systems. While Spivak examines the chemical composition of cores from lakes with and without herring, Llopiz is looking at herring skeletons to determine if some lakes are more advantageous for growth. Working together, we can get a more holistic picture of how the lakes work, Spivak explained.
