Hot off the Press! Looking at reactive Si pools in N Gulf of Mexico sediments. We found these sediments appear to have more authigenic Si among other systems and believe anthropogenic activity may have stimulated Si sequestration. Check it out! https://t.co/KIuRHf4FI4

So excited to finally have this published!! This is some work I did my first year at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. Looking at how different cleaning methods effect diatom dissolution rates. Spoiler we used LOTS of diatom silica. https://t.co/uSActq9qYy
