UGA Marine Sciences students Carolina da Silva, Courtney Thomas, Chandler Countryman and Ruth Pannill are now on a research cruise off the Georgia coast investigating carbon export off the Altamaha River. Carolina has built 15 surface drifters that are being deployed to track the motion of riverine water over the shelf. The project is led by Patricia Medeiros and Renato Castelao.
