  • A Multivariate Analysis of Pacific Arctic Surface Waters

    Creator:
    Bryant, Aleesa
    Abstract:
    The Pacific Arctic is undergoing rapid biogeochemical changes in response to warming air temperatures caused by climate forcing. This is manifesting as changes in seasonal sea ice thickness and sea ice extent, as well as changes in primary production within surface waters. The data and samples analyzed here were collected...

  • Predicting Watershed Characteristics Using Bacterial DNA

    Creator:
    Chadwick, Jessica A.
    Abstract:
    This study was conducted to determine if bacterial DNA present streams could be used to predict upstream watershed characteristics. Previous studies have found that bacterial composition in soil is influenced by land use. It was hypothesized that if the bacteria present in a stream is known that it can be...

  • Reef Microbiomes of Mo'orea, French Polynesia, a Socio-Ecological Island System

    Creator:
    McConnell, Kaitlin M.
    Abstract:
    At a time of rapid global change, a socio-ecological system (SES) approach can provide a framework through which to quantify and communicate the risks and uncertainties of coupled human-natural systems. Islands, and tropical coral reef islands in particular, can be excellent models for SES research since they may be considered...

  • Biogeochemical Processing of Freshwater Carbon in the Anthropocene

    Creator:
    Buser, Jessica Z.
    Abstract:
    Freshwater systems cycle carbon along a spatial and temporal biogeochemical continuum, across which ecosystem processes contribute to transformations of organic matter (OM). Various ecological constraints impact rates OM transformation and production and consumption of the energetic end of respiration, methane. Microbiological processing and complete reduction of carbon substrates to methane...

  • Effects of Anthropogenic Stressors on Seagrass and Coral Microbiomes

    Creator:
    Wang, Lu
    Abstract:
    Seagrasses and coral reefs play important roles in nutrient cycling, coastal protection, and maintaining marine biodiversity. However, these coastal marine organisms are declining globally due to anthropogenic stressors, such as rising ocean temperatures, ocean acidification, and eutrophication. These organisms live in close association with their microbiomes, which can be beneficial...
