All Hands on Deck

Scientists from Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva NY, selected McLane Sediment Traps for a unique project in Lake Seneca. A collaborative team of biologists, geoscientists and computer scientists are collecting year-round samples for studies in ecology, limnology and meteorology. McLane sediment traps and flotation are among the NSF-funded equipment in a new seven site network. This study is the first of its kind providing year-round support to such a diverse research team. For two years, the Sediment Traps will be recovered and redeployed on a rotating schedule. For more information, see the Fall 2009 McLane Newsletter.
