Hydrological and hydrochemical responses of streams in coastal California to land use, fire and climate

Poster Number:  75 Presenter/Primary Author:  John Melack Time series measurements in a diverse array of watersheds and sub-catchments reveal that stream discharge and fluxes of dissolved and particulate nutrients and suspended sediments vary greatly as a

Object-Oriented Land-Cover Mapping of CAP-LTER using High Resolution Aerial Orthophotography

Poster Number:  74 Presenter/Primary Author:  Xiaoxiao Li High spatial resolution imagery is useful for a variety of research endeavors undertaken by the CAP-LTER. Parts of the site have been assessed using expensive QuikBird data.

Ecological Reflections at the Virginia Coast Reserve LTER

Poster Number:  72 Presenter/Primary Author:  Arthur Schwarzschild Every major university and college has a school or department of Arts and Sciences, yet there are rarely any tangible connections or significant communications between these two disciplines.

Carbon fluxes and pelagic ecosystem dynamics around two western Antarctic Peninsula Adélie penguin colonies: an inverse model approach.

Poster Number:  71 Presenter/Primary Author:  Sevrine Sailley Using Palmer LTER data from annual summer sampling cruises, a food-web inverse model for the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) pelagic food web was constrained, and model solutions were generated f

Multiple mechanisms of calcification and heterotrophic capacity may determine the response of calcifying cnidarians to ocean acidification

Poster Number:  70 Presenter/Primary Author:  Darren Brown Ocean acidification (OA) decreases the CaCO3 saturation state of seawater, making it thermodynamically challenging for calcifying cnidarians to precipitate mineral skeletons.  In th
