Hans Paerl
An article in the Dec. 12 issue of Science magazine features the research of Hans Paerl, PhD. Paerl is a Kenan Distinguished Professor of marine sciences at the UNC Institute of Marine Sciences in Morehead City, N.C., and holds a joint appointment at the UNC-Chapel Hill Gillings School of Global Public Health in the department of environmental sciences and engineering. The article, “FerryBoxes Begin to Make Waves,” describes the value of the FerryBox, a metal container, about one cubic yard in size, holding sensors designed to sample water as a ferry boat moves through regional inlets and sounds. Paerl led the first such data-gathering project in the U.S., FerryMon, which was launched in 2000 in N.C.’s Pamlico Sound.
The Science magazine article is available online. Paerl also was featured in the Fall 2007 issue of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health magazine, Carolina Public Health.
