最后指出

We started our science careers studying Pennsylvania lakes and streams that feed into the Susquehanna River with Professor of Biology Jack Holt. Little did we know that our work on diatoms (single-cell 浮游植物 often used to assess a body of water’s health) in the freshwaters of central Pennsylvania would lead us to monitoring the health of the nation’s largest and most productive estuary. 在浩博体育app获得生物学学位后, we both continued to study algae during graduate school at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. Today we comprise the 浮游植物 monitoring team for the Chesapeake Bay Monitoring Program, 一项监测水质的联邦倡议, 浮游植物, zooplankton and fisheries health throughout the Chesapeake Bay Watershed for more than 40 years.
