Oceanographers have extremely challenging analysis problems to overcome. Can analytical chemists help? The Collaborative on Oceanographic Chemical Analysis workshop, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, connects scientists in these two fields to exchange ideas. And that is good, because the needs are great. Kevin Schug takes a look at where that collaboration might lead.
