Researchers onboard the R/V Atlantis collect a sediment trap during a 2019 research cruise. Sediment traps collect particles falling toward the seafloor. Analyzing their contents helped Stukel and his research team to quantify carbon sequestration from various sources in the California Current Ecosystem. (Courtesy of Michael Stukel)
