Creator:: URycki, Dawn R., Good, Stephen P., Crump, Byron C., Chadwick, Jessica, and Jones, Gerrad D.
Abstract:: Maintaining the quality and quantity of water resources in light of complex changes in climate, human land use, and ecosystem composition requires detailed understanding of ecohydrologic function within catchments, yet monitoring relevant upstream characteristics can be challenging. In this study, we investigate how variability in riverine microbial communities can be...

Creator:: Baptista, António M., Seaton, Charles, Wilkin, Michael P., Riseman, Sarah F., Needoba, Joseph A., Maier, David, Turner, Paul J., Kärnä, Tuomas, Lopez, Jesse E., Herfort, Lydie, Megler, V. M., McNeil, Craig, Crump, Byron C., Peterson, Tawnya D., Spitz, Yvette H., and Simon, Holly M.
Abstract:: To meet societal needs, modern estuarine science needs to be interdisciplinary and collaborative, combine discovery with hypotheses testing, and be responsive to issues facing both regional and global stakeholders. Such an approach is best conducted with the benefit of data-rich environments, where information from sensors and models is openly accessible...

Creator:: Moran, Mary Ann, Kujawinski, Elizabeth B., Stubbins, Aron, Fatland, Rob, Aluwihare, Lihini I., Buchan, Alison, Crump, Byron C., Dorrestein, Pieter C., Dyhrman, Sonya T., Hess, Nancy J., Howe, Bill, Longnecker, Krista, Medeiros, Patricia M., Niggemann, Jutta, Obernosterer, Ingrid, Repeta, Daniel J., and Waldbauer, Jacob R.
Abstract:: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the oceans is one of the largest pools of reduced carbon on Earth, comparable in size to the atmospheric CO₂ reservoir. A vast number of compounds are present in DOM, and they play important roles in all major element cycles, contribute to the storage of...

Creator:: Fortunato, Caroline S. and Crump, Byron C.
Abstract:: Microbial communities mediate the biogeochemical cycles that drive ecosystems, and it is important to understand how these communities are affected by changing environmental conditions, especially in complex coastal zones. As fresh and marine waters mix in estuaries and river plumes, the salinity, temperature, and nutrient gradients that are generated strongly...

Creator:: Satinsky, Brandon M., Fortunato, Caroline S., Doherty, Mary, Smith, Christa B., Sharma, Shalabh, Ward, Nicholas D., Krusche, Alex V., Yager, Patricia L., Richey, Jeffrey E., Moran, Mary Ann, and Crump, Byron C.
Abstract:: Background: The Amazon River runs nearly 6500 km across the South American continent before emptying into the western tropical North Atlantic Ocean. In terms of both volume and watershed area, it is the world’s largest riverine system, affecting elemental cycling on a global scale. Results: A quantitative inventory of genes...

Creator:: Febria, Catherine M., Hosen, Jacob D., Crump, Byron C., Palmer, Margaret A., and Williams, D. Dudley
Abstract:: Microbial communities are responsible for the bulk of biogeochemical processing in temporary headwater streams, yet there is still relatively little known about how community structure and function respond to periodic drying. Moreover, the ability to sample temporary habitats can be a logistical challenge due to the limited capability to measure...

Creator:: Adams, Heather E., Crump, Byron C., and Kling, George W.
Abstract:: Storm events can pulse nutrients and carbon from soils and provide an important subsidy to food webs in oligotrophic streams and lakes. Bacterial nutrient limitation and the potential response of stream aquatic bacteria to storm events was investigated in arctic tundra environments by manipulating both water temperature and inorganic nutrient...

Creator:: Shaw, Kristi S., Sapkota, Amy R., Jacobs, John M., He, Xin, and Crump, Byron C.
Abstract:: Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus are ubiquitous in the marine–estuarine environment, but the magnitude of human non-ingestion exposure to these waterborne pathogens is largely unknown. We evaluated the magnitude of dermal exposure to V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus among swimmers recreating in Vibrio-populated waters by conducting swim studies at four...

Creator:: Shaw, Kristi S., Jacobs, John M., and Crump, Byron C.
Abstract:: To determine if a storm event (i.e., high winds, large volumes of precipitation) could alter concentrations of Vibrio vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus in aquacultured oysters (Crassostrea virginica) and associated surface water and sediment, this study followed a sampling timeline before and after Hurricane Irene impacted the Chesapeake Bay estuary in...

Creator:: Hewson, Ian, Eggleston, Erin M., Doherty, Mary, Lee, Dong Yoon, Owens, Michael, Shapleigh, James P., Cornwell, Jeffrey C., and Crump, Byron C.
Abstract:: We used metatranscriptomics to study the gene transcription patterns of microbial plankton (0.2 to 64 μm) at a mesohaline station in the Chesapeake Bay under transitions from oxic to anoxic waters in spring and from anoxic to oxic waters in autumn. Samples were collected from surface (i.e., above pycnocline) waters...
