DESCRIPTION:Jackson Sugar will provide a description of the low-cost distri
 buted network of subsurface Lagrange floats known as MINIONs.\n\nMINION (M
 INiature IsOpycNal) floats are small\, inexpensive devices weighted to be 
 neutrally buoyant at a pre-selected depth in the ocean twilight zone. Thes
 e devices will carry camera and lighting systems and will photograph parti
 cles of carbon-rich detritus called “marine snow” as it falls from abo
 ve. Each float drifts with the currents and is programmed to surface at a 
 specific time. The development of MINIONs is led by Melissa Omand\, from t
 he University of Rhode Island.\n\nSpeaker(s): Jackson Sugar\, \n\nAgenda: 
 \n5:30 pm Room opens\n\n6:00 pm Introduction\n\n6:05 pm Technical talk\n\n
