The Paerl lab conducted a bioassay from the Chowan area this week headed by graduate student Malcolm Barnard (front left)!
Exciting results to come! Stay tuned to Malcolm’s website for updates and future publications!

For her honors thesis Felix prepares a bioassay where she hopes to determine a relationship between harmful algal bloom formation and changes to salinity in the Chowan River of coastal North Carolina, in light of climate change-driven changes to hydrologic event patterns.
