  • Buffering Estuarine Sediments Against Acidification

    Creator:
    Myers, Tristen J.
    Abstract:
    Globally rising anthropogenic CO₂ emissions have resulted in the increased prevalence of ocean acidification (OA) which has the potential to impact shell-forming organisms. On geologic timescales, the largest contributor to atmospheric CO₂ was volcanoes, counterbalanced by weathering and erosion, but due to increased anthropogenic emissions, these processes alone can no...

    Creator:
    Hansen, Eric J.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to explore the applicability of Collins’ (2001) Good-to-Great theory, as originally introduced for the business sector and as adapted for the social sector, to the ways a community college moved from being “good” to being “great.” The following questions guided the research: (1) Which...

  • Thinning effects on stand and tree growth : different perspectives on same old questions

    Creator:
    Romero Castaño, Pablo
    Abstract:
    The search for the stand density that optimizes growth and hence generates the maximum amount of wood is one of the philosopher’s stone in modern forestry. Since scientific methods were applied to forestry, numerous generations of foresters have studied the relations between stocking density and growth, obtaining diverse results and...

  • Seagrasses as Potential Chemical Refugia for Acidification-Sensitive Bivalves

    Creator:
    Smith, Stephanie Rae
    Abstract:
    As the effect of ocean acidification (OA) on marine calcifiers is better understood, a range of potential mitigative strategies have been proposed, many of which are plagued by concerns of scale and feasibility. One oft-cited option is to increase the biomass of photosynthetic organisms to remove CO₂ from the water...

  • Characterization of Baculovirus genes involved in genome replication and processing

    Creator:
    Vanarsdall, Adam L.
    Abstract:
    The Baculoviridae comprise a diverse group of occluded DNA viruses that contain large double-stranded DNA genomes of 80 - 180 kb and may encode up to 180 gene products. To understand how baculoviruses replicate and process their genomes and the gene products that are involved in these events, a series...

  • Ocean Acidification Carryover Effects from Oyster Broodstock to Larvae

    Creator:
    Klein, Victoria G.
    Abstract:
    Atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased by approximately 40% since preindustrial times from 280 ppm (parts per million) to 400 ppm. The rise in Pco₂ is causing the ocean to become more acidic due to the uptake of carbon dioxide by the water, termed “ocean acidification”. As the Pco₂ in the...

  • A phenomenological inquiry into the experience of reflection by older adults in adventure-based experiential education

    Creator:
    Brennan, L. A.
    Abstract:
    This phenomenological inquiry explored dimensions of reflection for older adults in a developmental oriented adventure education experience. Data were gathered from emergent interviews with four individuals while participating in a multi-day, self-contained experiential education program conducted in a rugged environment, and led by a Navajo leader. Two principle research questions...
