Reisinger awarded for Dead Zone film
Anthony Reisinger, a new PhD student at HRI, was recently awarded first place in the Student Short Science Film Competition on Water for his film The Dead Zone at the 2008 Sigma Xi Annual Meeting on November 23 in Washington, D.C.. Anthony’s film addresses the seasonal hypoxia that occurs near the outflows of the Mississippi River in the Gulf of Mexico. He created it during his summer internship as a NOAA Ernest F. Hollings Scholar at the NOAA Environmental Visualization Laboratory in Silver Spring, Maryland. Reisinger has an A.A.S. in Digital Imaging from Texas State Technical College and a B.S. in Environmental Sciences from the University of Texas at Brownsville. He is working with Dr. Jim Gibeaut in HRI's Coastal and Marine Geospatial Laboratory pursing his PhD in Coastal Marine Systems Science.
