Lauren Kipp, a graduate student in the MIT-WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography, led efforts to measure radium-228 in the Arctic Ocean. The naturally occurring isotope is used to track the flow of material from land and sediments into the open ocean. Here, she removes a cartridge from a sampling instrument that pumps seawater through the cartridges to collect chemical isotopes.
