Gas Chromatography in
the Field |
 Analytical
equipment is taken out to the field in order to minimize sample degradation before
analysis. Here, Tori Hoehler operates a gas chromatograph in a van. |

Flux
Incubations Under Defined Conditions |
 In
order to be able to conduct experiments on freshly collected mat with very well
defined conditions, flux experiments are conducted in temperature-controlled aquaria.
This photo shows Dan Albert (left) and David Des Marais with an experimental apparatus
set up at a local motel. The motel is located within an hours drive of the field
site where the mats were collected. |

Gas Chromatography at Our Motel
"Laboratory" |
 In
order to enable real-time analysis of samples collected as part of the flux experiments,
the Ames team sets up various pieces of analytical equipment at the motel. Here,
Chris Raleigh operates a gas chromatograph. |

In Situ Microsensor
Measurements in Baja |
 This
photo shows Scott Miller (left) and Brad Bebout after a deployment of a device
used to collect in situ (on site) microelectrode profiles of chemical and physical
parameters within microbial mats. |
