  • Atmospheric nitrous oxide in the pre-800 ka atmosphere from ice cores from the Allan Hills, Antarctica

    Creator:
    Stock, Marika P.
    Abstract:
    Nitrous oxide is an important greenhouse gas that has both natural and anthropogenic sources in the modern atmosphere (Ciais et al., 2013). This project expanded the knowledge of the history of atmospheric N2O in the geologic past by measuring N2O concentrations in air trapped in very old polar ice. A...

  • Effects of Marijuana on Risky Decision-Making in Young Adult College Students

    Creator:
    Casey, Jorie L.
    Abstract:
    Marijuana (MJ) is a widely used illicit substance among adolescents and young adults. Frequent MJ use has been associated with impairments in cognitive flexibility and inhibition, both of which play important roles in decision-making. However, the impact of frequent MJ on decision-making performance is mixed and not well understood. The...

  • 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...

  • Teaching fundamental computer science concepts utilizing manipulatives

    Creator:
    Berliner, Garrett
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents innovative pedagogical approaches to teach fundamental Computer Science (CS) concepts, such as abstraction, representation, algorithms, and computation utilizing manipulatives, which are physical objects that students interact with to teach or reinforce a concept. Teaching and learning with manipulatives has a long history in science and mathematics education,...

  • A Bayesian Treatise on the Replication Crisis in Science

    Creator:
    Gibson, True E.
    Abstract:
    Over the past decade, it has come to light that many published scientific findings cannot be reproduced. This has led to the replication crisis in science. Many researchers feel that they can no longer trust much of what they read in scientific journals, and the public is becoming ever more...

  • Science Education Through Comics: Improving Understanding of Current Marine Environmental Issues

    Creator:
    Schwarz, Zale
    Abstract:
    According to a 2017 Pew Research Study, 44% of adults in America say that they do not feel informed enough about science to understand news and new discoveries discussed on the media (Funk et al. 2019). This is concerning, because adults are not just passive consumers of media; among other...

  • 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...
