Maale IV, Gerhard Emil (2017-04-28)No Man’s Land Sink is one of the largest inland lakes on the Little Bahama Bank in the northern Bahamas, so its paleoenvironmental history may provide insight into how the regional hydroclimate and groundwater systems ...
-
Sanchez, Phillip John (2021-07-07)Warsaw grouper (Hyporthodus nigritus) and snowy grouper (H. niveatus) are deepwater grouper (F. Epinephelidae) found in the western Atlantic Ocean from the northern eastern seaboard of the United States of America to the ...
-
Cresswell, Jacquelyn Nicole (2019-09-02)Diverse benthic and pelagic habitats develop in coastal estuarine settings from land-to-ocean physicochemical gradients, such as variations in salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients like carbon, and water circulation. ...
-
Sterne, Amanda Marie Elizabeth (2019-05-28)This study represents a detailed analysis of the biochemical composition of organic carbon (OC) preserved in coastal wetland systems. Coastal wetlands are sensitive to anthropogenic disturbances with habitats undergoing ...
-
Characterization of the Impact of Fire on Terrestrial Organic Carbon and Its Fate in the Environment Myers-Pigg, Allison Nicole (2016-11-11)Pyrogenic carbon (PyC) is a heterogeneous continuum of compounds resulting from incomplete combustion of organic matter. The understanding of PyC in the environment has mainly focused on high-temperature combustion ...
-
Todd, Anthony Markus (2016-04-25)The fluorescence and absorbance optical properties of seawater samples from the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill were analyzed to examine the transport and fate of oil both during and after the spill, as well as the effect ...
-
Athon, Matthew Taylor (2016-05-03)Recent nuclear disasters, such as in Fukushima, Japan, have made it evident that there is a need for the capability to efficiently measure radionuclides in-situ in marine and coastal waters. A group at Pacific Northwest ...
-
Tamalavage, Anne E (2021-08-04)Caribbean hydroclimate is regulated by large scale ocean-atmospheric factors (e.g., the North Atlantic Subtropical High - NASH), and increased aridity is predicted into the 21st century. Understanding past changes in ...
-
Creeley, Danielle Renee (2017-07-26)Rivers are the primary link between terrestrial and marine carbon reservoirs. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) contributes the majority of carbon flux between these environments. Understanding the influence of source, ...
-
Almukaimi, Mohammad E A Y S (2016-02-22)Over the last 100 years, the Galveston Bay (GB) Estuary has experienced a wide range of anthropogenic activities. The bay’s watershed and shoreline contains one of the largest concentrations of petroleum and chemical ...
-
Woods, Alaina (2020-10-29)Microorganisms account for ~70% of the total biomass of the ocean and fill many necessary roles within the ecosystem. However, little is known about how the marine microbial communities respond and recover from environmental ...
-
Leleux, Joshua Michael (2020-04-27)The hepatic body-burdens of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were integrated with fatty acid levels in four fish species from Sabine Lake (TX), namely: bull shark (Carcharhinus ...
-
Canedo Oropeza, Maria Fernanda (2016-12-09)Arctic rivers are the dominant pathways for the transport of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) to the Arctic Ocean, but knowledge of lability, sources, and transformations of organic carbon and nitrogen in Arctic ...
-
Simonitis, Lauren Eve (2021-08-04)Inking is a chemical defense mechanism which has evolved independently in disparate taxa. The goal of this research was to investigate if the functional role of ink as an antipredator chemical deterrent has been conserved ...
-
Quesnell, Veronica Ann (2017-04-28)Trace elements in otolith cores of young-of-the-year (YOY) swordfish, Xiphias gladius, were used as natural tracers to predict the nursery origin of sub-adult and adult swordfish sampled from three foraging grounds in the ...
-
Kitchens, Larissa Leigh (2017-04-27)Understanding the stock structure and population connectivity of migratory fishes is crucial to their effective conservation and management. Yellowfin tuna is a highly migratory species that is currently managed as a single ...
-
Nolen, Rayna Michelle (2023-06-14)Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a group of emerging pollutants that have been of increasing regulatory concern due to their persistence in the environment, toxicity, and potential to accumulate in biota. ...
-
Faulkner, Patricia Constance (2021-07-12)American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) inhabit freshwater wetlands but are vulnerable to salt stress during storm surges and droughts. Anthropogenic alterations to freshwater system hydrology, runoff of coal mine ...
-
Williford, Tatiana (2021-07-23)The Arctic Ocean is an ideal place for dissolved organic matter (DOM) research and studies of metal-organic interactions because it has limited exchange with the other oceans and has abundant sources of organics and trace ...
