Graduate students Anita Ganesan and Laura Meredith have been working in Darjeeling, India, to install the instrument that Anita built to measure long-lived greenhouse gases. Read more about their progress on Anita’s blog: Blogging Darjeeling, and Laura’s Postcard from Darjeeling.
Over the past year, Anita worked in MIT’s atmospheric chemistry lab to build a gas chromatograph to measure greenhouse gases continuously in a remote station environment. In November she and her good friend and fellow graduate student, Laura, headed off to Darjeeling, a town high on a ridge in West Bengal in the foothills of the Himalayas, to undertake the daunting task of setting up a field station at the Bose Institute.
