DIR lab graduate students Tanika Ladd and Dylan Catlett were participants aboard the R/V Sally Ride for a graduate student led cruise in December 2017 in the Santa Barbara Channel. See the news articles and ACIDD project website for information about this unique and exciting experience that has led to more projects exploring wildfire ash and the impacts on coastal marine ecosystems.
