Artificial Rivers

Caption

Associate Professor of Biology Marc Weissburg, left, and Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Don Webster, use a set of flumes – essentially artificial rivers – to conduct experiments on the turbulent transport of chemical odors through water and on marine animals’ behavioral responses to these chemical signals. They integrate their data to get "the big picture."
