Growing As An Undergraduate Researcher And The Benefits Of Directed Research, Jake Gehrung

Inquiry Journal 2020

Research ventures have proven beneficial for society as whole, producing a plethora of results and findings that have improved our understanding of our planet and beyond. The number of opportunities for undergraduate students to get involved with research is growing, but the structure and expectations of these opportunities vary. It is important for students and mentors to recognize the most efficient course of action for novice researchers. As an experienced undergraduate researcher, I can attest to the variety of opportunities available and the chronology in which they should be pursued. I completed a water systems research project as a sophomore, …


Remote Sensing For River Restoration And Dam Removal Studies, Bonnie Turek Apr 2020

Remote Sensing For River Restoration And Dam Removal Studies, Bonnie Turek

Inquiry Journal 2020

Inspired by the influence of drone applications in scientific research, my Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) study aimed to improve the accuracy of riverine topographic modeling by testing the use of terrestrial and submerged aquatic ground control points (GCPs) in drone surveys of the Bellamy River Reservoir. Accurate mapping of riverscapes is critical to investigations of before-and-after management activities, such as dam removals, and to better understanding topographic features created by physical, chemical, and biological processes in rivers and watersheds. These studies build on our increasing understanding and quantification of the cycling of chemical and biological substances in rivers and …


Indolic Glucosinolate Pathway Provides Resistance To Mycorrhizal Fungal Colonization In A Non-Host Brassicaceae, Mark A. Anthony, J. L. Celenza, A. Armstrong, Serita D. Frey Apr 2020

Indolic Glucosinolate Pathway Provides Resistance To Mycorrhizal Fungal Colonization In A Non-Host Brassicaceae, Mark A. Anthony, J. L. Celenza, A. Armstrong, Serita D. Frey

Faculty Publications

Most terrestrial plants form mycorrhizas, but a number of agricultural plants, including the Brassicaceae, are non-mycorrhizal. Brassicaceae can still be colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), but species like Arabidopsis thaliana experience growth reductions following AMF colonization at similar magnitude to that of fungal pathogen infections and lack key genes necessary for nutrient exchange. Arabidopsis also produces specific secondary compounds via the modification of tryptophan, including indolic glucosinolates (IGs), which have anti-fungal properties and may therefore be involved in reducing AMF colonization. This study therefore addressed whether the ability to produce IGs facilitates resistance to AMF colonization and growth suppression. …


Contributing To The Field Of Dam Removal Science: Analyzing Sediment Characteristics In Mill Pond And Sawyer Mill, Hannah Miller Apr 2020

Contributing To The Field Of Dam Removal Science: Analyzing Sediment Characteristics In Mill Pond And Sawyer Mill, Hannah Miller

Inquiry Journal 2020

Dams have served a vital role in American industry, providing flood control, irrigation, navigation, and hydropower. However, many of these dams no longer serve their initial purpose or are potentially hazardous to downstream communities because of aging infrastructure. Dam removals are becoming increasingly popular methods of reducing the risk of dam failure, restoring river ecological function, and eliminating long-term costs associated with maintenance and repairs. Dams do more than just store water; as water approaches the impoundment area, its velocity is reduced, which allows suspended sediment to settle and accumulate in the impoundment area. Removing a dam allows some fraction …


Ramped Thermal Analysis For Isolating Biologically Meaningful Soil Organic Matter Fractions With Distinct Residence Times, Jonathan Sanderman, A. Stuart Grandy Apr 2020

Ramped Thermal Analysis For Isolating Biologically Meaningful Soil Organic Matter Fractions With Distinct Residence Times, Jonathan Sanderman, A. Stuart Grandy

Faculty Publications

In this work, we assess whether or not ramped thermal oxidation coupled with determination of the radiocarbon content of the evolved CO2 can be used to isolate distinct thermal fractions of soil organic matter (SOM) along with direct information on the turnover rate of each thermal fraction. Using a 30-year time series of soil samples from a well-characterized agronomic trial, we found that the incorporation of the bomb spike in atmospheric 14CO2 into thermal fractions of increasing resistance to thermal decomposition could be successfully modeled. With increasing temperature, which is proportional to activation energy, the mean residence time of the …

Countering Racial Microaggressions Toward Minority Students Through Servant Leadership, Andrea Olsson Apr 2020

Countering Racial Microaggressions Toward Minority Students Through Servant Leadership, Andrea Olsson

M.S. in Leadership

Racial microaggressions have essentially replaced overt racism in American society, and are largely a result of unconscious biases. Although microaggressions are more subtle in nature, they can still have a profound impact on minority students while attending institutes of higher learning. This can often lead to academic underperformance and/or social isolation. The focus of this study is to determine whether or not a servant leadership approach to community development could help reduce incidents of microaggression and lessen their negative effects on minority students. There is an emphasis on food and the university dining program in combination with servant leadership as …

Correcting Tree-Ring Δ13c Time Series For Tree-Size Effects In Eight Temperate Tree Species, Matthew A. Vadeboncoeur, Katie A. Jennings, Andrew P. Ouimette, Heidi Asbjornsen Apr 2020

Correcting Tree-Ring Δ13c Time Series For Tree-Size Effects In Eight Temperate Tree Species, Matthew A. Vadeboncoeur, Katie A. Jennings, Andrew P. Ouimette, Heidi Asbjornsen

All Materials

Stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) in tree rings have been widely used to study changes in intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE), sometimes with limited consideration of how C-isotope discrimination is affected by tree height and canopy position. Our goals were to quantify the relationships between tree size or tree microenvironment and wood δ13C for eight functionally diverse temperate tree species in northern New England, and to better understand the physical and physiological mechanisms underlying these differences. We collected short increment cores in closed-canopy stands and analyzed δ13C in the most recent 5 years of growth. …

Beyond Behavior: Linguistic Evidence Of Cultural Variation In Parental Ethnotheories Of Children’S Prosocial Helping, Andrew D. Coppens, Anna I. Corwin, Lucia Alcala

Faculty Publications

This study examined linguistic patterns in mothers’ reports about their toddlers’ involvement in everyday household work, as a way to understand the parental ethnotheories that may guide children’s prosocial helping and development. Mothers from two cultural groups – US Mexican-heritage families with backgrounds in indigenous American communities and middle-class European-American families – were interviewed regarding how their 2- to 3-year-old toddler gets involved in help with everyday household work. The study’s analytic focus was the linguistic form of mothers’ responses to interview questions asking about the child’s efforts to help with a variety of everyday household work tasks. Results showed …

Eelgrass Health Survey And Results, Nicholas B. Anderson, Catherine M. Ashcraft, Dante D. Torio, Frederick T. Short

Natural Resources & the Environment

Researchers at the University of New Hampshire designed, tested, and conducted an eelgrass health survey. The primary goal of the survey was to collect health ratings from respondents who had viewed pre-selected images of eelgrass representing a wide range of health conditions. Survey results were used as a calibration and validation to a novel eelgrass health index developed using video-monitoring. Two secondary goals of this this survey were the identification of plant-specific and environmental characteristics important to respondents and the introduction of the new eelgrass health index. This published dataset includes de-identified survey respondent background and demographic data, the survey …
