Fog water sampling at the UCSC Coastal Campus
Picture by Anja UlfeldtA full bottle of fog water was collected in one night during May of 2025. This water can be viewed through a microscope at a Seymour Center exhibit on fog. So far, we have collected 4 fog water samples and have analyzed the biological content of the water. We plan to present the results at the AGU Fall Meeting in New Orleans.
