Post doctoral researcher, Ashley Rossin, hangs off the back of a small white research boat. She is looking for coral gametes using a thick underwater flashlight. She wears a fluorescent pink skin-suit and a Yamaha engine is on her right. The Miami skyline is light up by the sunset in the background.

How does the ocean move, and how can you tell? Katey Williams aboard the GO-SHIP I07 Cruise is tracking Chloroflurocarbons (CFCs) through gas chromatography to study how water masses migrate through the ocean. Find out more on the GO-SHIP I07N Blog.
