The role of mixed layer depth in regulating primary production at Palmer Deep Canyon (West Antarctic Peninsula)
Poster Number: 166 Presenter/Primary Author: Filipa Carvalho Palmer Deep Canyon in the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is considered a biological “hotspot” by providing predictable food resource and driving penguin foraging locations.
Arctic biodiversity through the Anthropocene: Ecological and evolutionary implications of rapid community change
Poster Number: 164 Presenter/Primary Author: Andrew Hope As ancestral biodiversity responded dynamically to late-Quaternary climate changes, so are extant organisms responding to the warming trajectory of the Anthropocene.
Effects of fine-scaled heterogeneity in urban landscape elements on evapotranspiration and other water fluxes
Poster Number: 156 Presenter/Primary Author: Carolyn Voter Urban landscapes are highly heterogeneous when viewed as a complex network of roads, buildings, driveways, sidewalks, and other impervious surfaces.
Quantification of Fluvial Wetland Nitrogen Removal in Shallow Sloped, Coastal New England Watersheds
Poster Number: 150 Presenter/Primary Author: Christopher Whitney Excess nitrogen (N) in the environment contributes to eutrophication that can result in “dead zones” and fish kills.
Trends in ice cover and associated pelagic ecosystem consequences at two Antarctic LTER sites
Poster Number: 138 Presenter/Primary Author: Maciek Obryk Sea ice (PAL-LTER) and perennial lake ice (MCM-LTER) are important ecological drivers because they act as intermediaries between the aquatic ecosystem and the atmosphere.
