PREDICTING THE SALINITY HISTORY OF OYSTERS IN DELAWARE BAY USING OBSERVING SYSTEMS DATA AND NONLINEAR REGRESSION
(2022)Salinity is a major environmental factor that influences the population dynamics of fish and shellfish along coasts and estuaries, yet methods for predicting the salinity history at specific sampling stations are not widely ... -
Insights into benthic macroinvertebrate ecology in the northern Bering and southern Chukchi Seas from stable isotope analysis
(2022)In the Pacific Arctic Region, the northern Bering Sea and southern Chukchi Sea support large and diverse communities of benthic macroinvertebrates that provide an important link to the pelagic communities and marine mammals ... -
DRIVERS OF EPIBENTHIC BIODIVERSITY AND ABUNDANCE IN BARROW CANYON, CHUKCHI SEA UTILIZING DROP CAMERA VIDEO DATA
(2022)In the Northeastern Chukchi Sea’s Barrow Canyon, modeling indicates that converging currents rapidly downwell high volumes of labile carbon creating a benthic biological hotspot. Utilizing a Drop Camera Video System, this ... -
EVALUATING CARBON SEQUESTRATION POTENTIAL OF NATURAL AND RESTORED TIDAL MARSHES IN CHESAPEAKE BAY THROUGH QUANTIFICATION OF METHANE FLUXES AND IDENTIFICATION OF DRIVERS
(2022)The production of methane in brackish marshes may offset the carbon sequestered by these wetlands. Brackish tidal marshes are widespread in Chesapeake Bay and there exists a need for understanding the carbon balance of ... -
