PUPCYCLE II QUIZ
Thanks for following the scientists on the PUPCYCLE II Research Cruise as they investigated the physiological responses of phytoplankton to upwelling cycles off the northwest coast of the United States. Assess your understanding of the concepts explored through the online PUPCYCLE Log with this short quiz. A PUPCYCLE II Certificate can be downloaded after successfully completing the quiz. Good Luck!
