Most studies on Arctic food webs have neglected microphytobenthos as a potential food source because we currently lack robust measurements of δ¹³C values for microphytobenthos from this environment. As a result, the role of microphytobenthos in high latitude marine food webs is not well understood. We combined field measurements of...

A systematic investigation was made of the distribution of short wave radiation within the crown of an open-grown Douglas-fir tree. The study tree was 23 years old, 14 meters tall and had a maximum crown diameter of about ten meters. Global radiation was measured every 15 cm along eight different...
The California Current Ecosystem (CCE) is a dynamic marine ecosystem from which many socioeconomically important fisheries species are harvested. In this thesis, a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach was used to examine genomic variation in an early life stage of the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister), which constitutes the most valuable single-species commercial...
Resulting from the action of wind over open water surfaces, water waves contain colossal amounts of energy that has not yet been harnessed. Seen as a very promising source for renewable energy generation, many studies have tried to make wave energy a cost competitive source by investigating optimal designs of...
