Studying the most effective modes of marine science communication on plastic pollution in the oceans

Creator:: Burton, Simone A.
Abstract:: The ocean provides many ecosystems services and yet humans have viewed the ocean as a black hole for trash since the 1950s. With recycling not getting to the source of the problem, smarter consumer choices are being targeted, specifically choices centered around the use of plastic. Thus efficient, useful communication...

A Needs Assessment of Social Emotional Learning Integration in Pre-College STEM Education at OSU

Creator:: Rodriguez Cardoso, Metzin A.
Abstract:: STEM education is delivered to K12 audiences by Pre-college Programs across the nation, many of which serve underrepresented and underserved students as part of their core missions. While there is robust attention to STEM curriculum development and college connection events in such programs, few have social-cultural aspects of learning as...

Using An Array of NE Pacific Margin Sediment Samples to Link Land and Ocean Responses to Glacial-Interglacial Climate Variability

Creator:: Wilson, Kiya L.
Abstract:: Variability in the terrigenous (land-derived) fraction of marine sediments, including pollen and rock fragments, reflects the effects of regional climate change on continentally derived runoff, ice extent, vegetation and ocean circulation. The transport of this continental material to the seafloor must be understood in order to interpret the terrigenous sediment...

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon Gulf Region Oil Spill: Educational Modules and Methods for Long-Term Remediation

Creator:: Oldenkamp, Audrey G.
Abstract:: On April 20th, 2010 the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico malfunctioned leading to a 4.9 million barrel oil spill. The released oil affected marine life, coastal ecosystems, and the economic framework of the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf spill spurred research on absorbent materials and engineering...

An evaluation of the establishment and continued effectiveness of the Galápagos National Park and Marine Reserve in Ecuador

Creator:: Asson, Danielle
Abstract:: Conservation of natural resources has become a new watchword of the scientific community. While many terrestrial ecosystems are well protected, marine ecosystems have only recently come to the forefront. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been introduced as a means of protecting biodiversity, commercial stocks, and ecosystem services. There are many...

Using TEM to Evaluate the Importance of the Microbiome and Virome Between Fire Corals and Scleractinian Corals

Creator:: Duke, William C.
Abstract:: As important ecological cornerstones, coral reefs face threats from a myriad of sources, such as global climate change, and importantly, disease, the latter often as a result of microbial pathogens. An understudied group of major corals, fire corals, and their even less understood microbiome present an opportunity to learn more...
Resource Type:: Honors College Thesis

Population structure and genetic variation in the Hawaiian Opakapaka (Pristipomoides filamentosus): Evidence of a genetic bottleneck in offspring of a captive broodstock

Creator:: Meltvedt, Ariana
Abstract:: The Hawaiian Archipelago is a biologically diverse environment with dynamic interactions between human and biological populations. Political, social, and scientific communities are placing importance on sustainable management of fisheries resources throughout the islands. Many economically important bottomfish in Hawaii have declined in population size due to anthropogenic and environmental pressures....
