Oregon Water Atlas : A Digital Collection and Visualization of Oregon’s Water Data

Creator:: Baldrica-Franklin, Gareth
Abstract:: The Oregon Water Atlas is an aggregation and visualization of Oregon’s water data. Multiple government agencies (state and federal) maintain geographic data related to Oregon’s water, and they exist almost exclusively in GIS (geographic information system) formats. Using GIS processing software in conjunction with web design, a wide array of...

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...

An Approach to Increasing Yields of a Sunscreen Compound in Recombinant Yeast

Creator:: Vu, Van Anh
Abstract:: The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly used in winemaking, baking, and brewing, also serves as a host for the production of therapeutically valuable pharmaceuticals. Recently, the Bakalinsky laboratory constructed a recombinant yeast strain expressing two zebrafish (Danio rerio) genes in order to produce a UV-protective “sunscreen” compound called gadusol. An antioxidant...

Surfacing Behavior of Juvenile Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) in North Carolina

Creator:: Patton, B. Wren
Abstract:: Sea turtles are endangered species that can be censused with aerial surveys, but the number of turtles in an area must be extrapolated to include animals that are submerged. Twenty-one satellite tags were attached to juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in North Carolina. I analyzed surfacing and dive behavior...

Understanding Drivers of Glacier Length Variability Over the Last Millennium

Creator:: Huston, Alan C.
Abstract:: Changes in glacier length reflect the integrated response to local fluctuations in temperature and precipitation, but when do such changes indicate forced climate change, and when do they indicate natural variability? In this study, we simulate the past ~1000 years of glacier length variability across the globe using the 3-stage...
