STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
S. Manganini is manager of the Parflux Laboratory at WHOI with many years of experience in
particle flux studies utilizing sediment traps in order to characterize particle flux in the deep
ocean and establish relationships between surface processes and sediment delivery and
storage, with emphasis on organic carbon, inorganic carbon, biogenic silicates, and lithogenic
components along with the development of instrumentation and analytical methods to further
characterize particle/sediment materials.
SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES and AWARDS
