Patrick Wahlig, a rising high school senior who joined MSEAS during summer 2022 as an RSI scholar, has received recognition for having a paper in the top five of those produced by all RSI students this year. His paper, “Towards a System for Modeling the Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Sea Scallops (Placopecten magellanicus) in Massachusetts Bay,” focuses on designing a computer program modeling the impacts of ocean acidification on shellfish growth in Massachusetts Bay, calibrating existing equations to local conditions. Congrats Patrick!
