Jim Sanders and Bill Savidge are co-PIs for a $145,000 grant from the National Science Foundation for the construction of two flowing seawater laboratories in which air temperature, seawater temperature, and light can be controlled to modest tolerances. The grant will also cover the purchase and installation of two walk-in environmental rooms that will provide tightly regulated environments for more demanding experimental work.

The new facilities will be housed in the yellow “crab barn” on the main quadrangle.
