Climate Change From Oxygen Isotopic Variation Of Pore Water From Sediments In Punderson Lake, Northeast Ohio, Rachel Daley, Fasong Yuan Sep 2013

Climate Change From Oxygen Isotopic Variation Of Pore Water From Sediments In Punderson Lake, Northeast Ohio, Rachel Daley, Fasong Yuan

Undergraduate Research Posters 2013

The environment in Ohio has changed over time. The hydroclimate, which is the climate of the water, shows changes from the Industrial Revolution to the present. Evidence for these changes can be found in levels of δ18O and δ2H isotopes in the layers of sediment and water in the lakes of Northeast Ohio. Mass spectrometry can be used to test the levels of δ18O and δ2H isotopes from pore water samples within sediment cores. In this study, surface soil and water samples were collected from cores in Punderson Lake at Punderson State Park in Newbury, Ohio. Pore water was extracted …


Differential Protein Expression In Polystichum Acrostichoides Due To Metal Exposure, Paul Alexander Ilkanich, Pratheek C. Koneru Sep 2012

Differential Protein Expression In Polystichum Acrostichoides Due To Metal Exposure, Paul Alexander Ilkanich, Pratheek C. Koneru

Undergraduate Research Posters 2012

Plants are considered the most cost effective and environmentally sound way to clean up the soils and water contaminated with toxic metals. We focused our studies on the fern species Polystichum acrostichoides. A total of 17 protein spots were up regulated and 3 proteins were down regulated upon various metal exposures, and are arranged to be subjected to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for further identification.
