Creator:: Griffin, Natasha A.
Abstract:: Microbial communities in Arctic coastal lagoons drive biogeochemical cycles at the terrestrial-marine interface and help to determine the fate and form of resources like nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) as they are delivered to the Arctic Ocean. Though rising rates of primary production in the Arctic Ocean are well-characterized, the...

Creator:: Burk, Bailey K.
Abstract:: An interactive map of important watersheds in the United States was created for use as a teaching tool in an estuarine ecology class. Figures and explanations of important factors influencing river ecology were created using data downloaded from the U.S. Geologic Survey. This interface serves as a visualization of biological,...

Creator:: Baker, Kristina D.
Abstract:: The lagoons spanning Alaska’s Beaufort Sea coast provide a unique habitat for arctic wildlife. These lagoons and the food webs they support face extreme seasonality with nine months of ice cover followed by a spring thaw that pulses a large amount of freshwater and nutrients into the lagoons. Bacteria link...

Creator:: Nalven, Sarah G.
Abstract:: Arctic soils are warming, making vast stores of organic carbon available for conversion to CO₂. This could create a positive feedback loop and accelerate global warming, but the processes that convert this carbon into CO₂ are not well understood. We investigated how the combined activities of sunlight and microbes degrade...

Creator:: Wojahn, John Michael Adrian
Abstract:: A great deal of research has been focused on the microbiomes of terrestrial angiosperms (flowering plants), but much less research has been performed on the microbiomes of aquatic angiosperms (Turner et al. 2013). Eelgrass beds are extremely productive ecosystems that provide habitat for many marine organisms, such as fish, shellfish,...

Creator:: Hoyle, Marilee C.
Abstract:: The wellbeing of the Willamette basin in Oregon depends on the river ecosystem’s microbial communities, which control primary production and the biological processing of nutrients, pollutants, and organic matter. Yet, only a few studies have investigated the diversity of the microbial communities of the Willamette basin. This paper examines how...
