We finished our 2^nd class of the semester, Hydrology, with Professor Ellen Douglas, where we learned about the movement of water in the atmosphere, along with some helpful excel techniques and equations. This week we are starting our next class, Marine and Coastal Ecological Research, with Professor Beth Boyle. We will be researching the adaptations and interactions of organisms of the beaches, salt marshes, sand dunes and embayments of Nantucket.  I am very much excited to spend most of our time on the field, learning about the marine ecosystems Nantucket has to offer, and to use this information in the development of my capstone and independent project. I want to personally thank all the guest speakers that came to our Hydrology class, as well as to our Professor Ellen Douglas.
