Submersible exploration of the Samoan hotspot revealed a new, 300-m-tall, volcanic cone, named Nafanua, in the summit crater of Vailulu’u seamount. Nafanua grew from the 1,000-m-deep crater floor in <4 years and could reach the sea surface within decades. Vents fill Vailulu’u crater with a thick suspension of particulates and...
Student problem behavior continues to be a primary concern in schools and, as resources decrease and greater burden is placed upon teachers, schools are pursuing better ways to mange student behavior. Researchers have continually found that when correctly implemented, Positive Behavior Supports (PBS) is an effective system for mitigating problem...
Engaging large numbers of undergraduates in authentic scientific discovery is desirable but difficult to achieve. We
have developed a general model in which faculty and teaching assistants from diverse academic institutions are trained to teach a
research course for first-year undergraduate students focused on bacteriophage discovery and genomics. The course...

This paper presents a seismic sequence and structural analysis of a high-resolution three-dimensional seismic reflection survey that was acquired in June 2000 in preparation for Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 204. The seismic data were correlated with coring and logging results from nine sites drilled in 2002 during Leg 204....
There is growing evidence that climate and anthropogenic influences on marine ecosystems are largely manifested by changes in species spatial dynamics. However, less is known about how shifts in species distributions might alter predator-prey overlap and the dynamics of prey populations. We developed a general approach to quantify species spatial...
Prediction of year-class strength is a critical challenge for fisheries managers. Theoretically,
predictions of recruitment should be better when they are based on estimates of cohort
size taken close to the age of recruitment and may improve if the effects of environmental factors
that influence pre-recruit mortality are accounted for....
