Marine Nitrogen Subsidies to Terrestrial Systems: Transport Through Wrack Deposition

Creator:: Traylor, Andrew
Abstract:: Fluctuations in one system affect adjacent systems; mechanistic understanding of linkages helps conservation efforts be more effective by focusing on influential species and areas that facilitate connections between ecosystems. This study explored marine-derived nutrient inputs to adjacent terrestrial communities. We quantified wrack (seaweed and other organic matter) deposition at sites...

Examining Relationships Between the Family Stage of Change Survey and the Family Nutrition Physical Activity Survey among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Families

Creator:: Navarrete, Ricardo, Jr.
Abstract:: Family influence in the home environment has been linked to children’s nutrition and physical activity behaviors. However few tools exist to identify family level behaviors and families’ readiness to change those behaviors, particularly for populations at high risk for obesity such as Hispanics. This study summarizes the relationships of similar...

Investigating physical drivers of phytoplankton bloom initiation in the Northern Gulf of Alaska

Creator:: Ballantine, Kaleigh
Abstract:: The spring bloom is a key oceanic phenomenon in the Northern Gulf of Alaska (NGA), where it supports the regional ecosystem, fisheries, and CO2 sequestration. Despite its significance, mechanisms that trigger NGA blooms are still debated, largely due to a lack of sufficient data from late winter through spring. New...
