At sites with frequent submarine volcanic activity, it is difficult to discern between new and pre-existing lava flows. In particular, the distribution of the fissures from which lava erupts, the routes taken by lava flows and the relationship between the new flows and the pre-existing seafloor bathymetry are often unclear....
Antarctic krill are a key component of the diet of Adélie penguins inhabiting the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), yet our understanding of the variability of krill distribution patterns within nearshore penguin feeding grounds is limited. A recent study of the foraging patterns of penguins breeding in the northern WAP suggests...
This paper illustrates the status of wave energy development in Pacific Rim countries by characterizing the available resource and introducing the region‟s current and potential future leaders in wave energy converter development. It also describes the existing licensing and permitting process as well as potential environmental concerns. Capabilities of Pacific...
STEM is evolving as a discipline and includes challenging educational practices. Teachers need support to address these challenges and implement STEM. We present an intervention in which a STEM coach supported teachers implementing STEM across a school district. The coach role was valued for (1) connecting to outside resources, (2)...
Overfished species of rockfish, Sebastes spp., from the Northeast Pacific experience high bycatch mortality because of ‘barotrauma’, a condition induced from the rapid change in pressure during capture. Field experiments show that it may be possible for rockfish to recover from barotrauma if quickly recompressed; however, no work has followed...
The target strengths and swimbladder morphology of six snapper species were investigated using broadband sonar, x rays, and swimbladder casts. Backscatter data were obtained using a frequency-modulated sweep ~60–200 kHz! and a broadband, dolphinlike click ~peak frequency 120 kHz! from live fish, mounted and rotated around each of their three...
Primary Objective: To describe the processes involved with developing and implementing a
physical activity based health promotion program for people with a brain injury, summarize
previous health promotion research efforts, and provide an actual example of a program entitled
P.A.C.E, a “Physical Activity Centred Education” program.
Reasoning Behind literature Selection:...
OBJECTIVE: We studied the extent to which parent marijuana use in adolescence is associated with marijuana use onset in offspring through contextual family and peer risks.
METHOD: Fathers
assessed (n = 93) since childhood, their 146 offspring (n = 83 girls), and offspring’s mothers (n = 85) participated in a...
Using a qualitative approach, the authors tested a crime
typology developed for tourism destinations in a U.S. National
Forest recreation setting. Specific objectives were to
classify the attributes of crime and violence, examine the effects
of crime and violence on visitor demand, and suggest
methods of prevention and recovery. A...
Uses of outdoor natural areas, like National Forests in the United States, have been undergoing change. Some changes, including criminal activities and domestic terrorism, may have quite important impacts to outdoor enthusiasts and managers. Activities include some relatively traditional management challenges, like arson and thefts, and newer challenges, such as...
