Peatlands contain a significant amount of the global soil carbon, but the climate feedback affecting carbon stability within these peatland systems is still relatively unknown. Organic matter composition of peatlands plays a major role...
Permafrost is an area of ground which continually maintains temperatures below 0˚C and is found across arctic and sub-arctic regions, with 50% of the global soil carbon contained within permafrost storage banks (Trubl et al., 2016). In...
Determining the Influence of Abiotic Factors on Spatiotemporal Patterns of Marine Catfish (Family: Ariidae) within the Apalachicola Bay Estuarine System, Florida USA
Two species of marine catfishes (Ariopsis felis and Bagre marinus) are abundant within the Apalachicola Bay system during most of the year. They function as 2nd and 3rd order consumers and as prey for top predators. Males perform oral...
The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is melting at an alarming rate. Supraglacial melt water flows into moulins that drain to the base of the ice sheet, and enhances basal flow. Ultimately, large quantities of melt water are expelled into the...
Foraging Ecology and Diet Selection of Juvenile Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) in the Western Bahamas: Insights from Stable Isotope Analysis and Prey Mapping
Species’ foraging choices influences their somatic growth rates, age at maturity, and time spent in vulnerable early life stages. Thus, differences in population demographics are often attributed to variability either in diet type, ...
Quantifying Earth's carbon budget remains an imperative task in the carbon cycle science community. Among its challenges, assessing carbon fluxes over the Arctic Ocean remains an arduous task, due to its remoteness and difficulty to...
On a global scale, peatlands contain 530 ± 160 Pg carbon, which is equivalent to >50% of the atmospheric pool. The fate of this enormous C reservoir could significantly impact the climate trajectory. Yet, two puzzling phenomena persist...
Leaking sewer pipes can be a significant source of contaminants to soil, groundwater, and connected surface water bodies, because untreated wastewater contains nutrients, biologic pathogens, and toxic chemicals. Numerical modeling...
Blood biochemistry profiles aid health assessment of marine turtles but knowledge of the influence of regional biological factors (e.g. habitat, diet) on marine turtle blood analyte values is limited. To investigate the influence of diet...
Peatlands cover a small percentage of the earth surface, but the exact mechanisms of how a third of the Earths global soil carbon is sequestered is not yet resolved. Therefore, this thesis aims to explore the relationship between the...
Coastal salt marshes are some of the most productive ecosystems on Earth, with over half of plant biomass production occurring in the belowground. In this belowground environment, particularly the rhizosphere, Anaerolineae (Phylum...
This study investigated the spatiotemporal changes in sediment organic carbon (OC) content in Apalachicola Bay, Florida, USA employing two complementary analytical approaches. The first approach compared region-wide surface sediment...
