Ørsted Ecosystem and Passive Acoustic Monitoring (ECO-PAM) project
Becca Cox is a junior at Wellesley College studying Environmental Studies and Studio Art. She has worked on a range of projects during her time at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and MIT Sea Grant, including the DNA extraction and identification of microbes from deep subseafloor lower oceanic crust, the assessment of alternative aquaculture market pathways in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the processing of microscopic images of plankton for future exhibition. Becca’s presentation will describe these projects and discuss how diverse research experiences provide unique perspectives and preparedness for tackling pressing research questions and environmental issues.
