Deep Sea Fish and Sediment Surveys in the Gulf
The Sipper and her Skipper
Logging the Sipper deployment
Post by: CIMAGE Teacher at Sea, Abby Madeiros
The Sipper 3 may be one of the stars on this trip, but it’s value truly lies in its able engineer Karen Dreger. Karen is a Research Engineering Technician for USF. She is responsible for all aspects of maintenance, operation, and data analysis of the Sipper 3. Karen studies the abundance and distribution of plankton in areas of the Gulf that were unaffected and affected by the spill. Karen is a product of Pinellas County Schools. Science was her best subject and she won her 5th Grade Science Fair with a Project about Airfoil design. Clearly she was interested in Engineering at a young age. Karen and Abby Madeiros (Teacher at Sea) attended Oak Grove Middle School, but clearly during different decades.
