Impacts of Human Disturbance on the Behavior of Sanderlings on the Georgia Coast
… of humans. The study was conducted on two Georgia barrier islands with varying levels of human disturbances, Tybee Island and Sapelo Island. I found that Sanderlings on a high-disturbance beach had lower foraging success than those on a low-disturbance beach. Across sites, Sanderling …

Assessing the indigenous Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) community associated with sea oats along the Georgia coast at Jekyll and Tybee Islands
<p>Coastal sand dunes are fragile ecosystems that serve as natural defenses to protect the adjacent mainland by absorbing the impacts and energy from severe storms. Different efforts have been taken to restore coastal sand dunes, focusing on foredunes. However, there are many strategies involved …

Examination of Abiotic Drivers and Their Influence on Spartina alterniflora Biomass over a Twenty-eight Year Period Using Landsat 5 TM Satellite Imagery of the Central Georgia Coast
… Cordgrass, Spartina alterniflora, on the Central Georgia Coast. The linkages between drivers and plant response via soil edaphic factors are captured in our graphical conceptual model. We used geospatial techniques to scale up in situ measurements of aboveground S. alterniflora biomass to landscape …

Population Genetic Structure of the Temperate Scleractinian Coral, Oculina Arbuscula, in Coastal Georgia
… primarily by local recruitment off the Georgia coast because: 1) suitable substrate for settlement is patchy and 2) O. arbuscula's branching morphology is conducive to asexual reproduction by fragmentation. To address this hypothesis, I combined data from allozyme electrophoresis, …

Microscale Variation in Light Intensity and its Effects on Growth of Juveniles of the Temperate Coral, Oculina Arbuscula
… Marine Sanctuary approximately 20 NM off the Georgia coast. The settlement angles for juvenile O. arbuscula occupying these reefs were also quantified and principle component analysis was used to correlate red, green and blue (RGB) color data quantified from in situ field images to chlorophyll …

Predicting Plant Zonation in the Salt and Brackish Marshes of Georgia
… km<sup>2</sup> of tidal marsh habitat along the Georgia coast that can be separated into three distinct marsh types based on salinity levels. Tidal fresh, brackish, and salt marshes occur along a gradient that is maintained by tidal forces pushing inland and freshwater sources pushing towards the …

Heavy Metal Distribution Across Three Georgia Estuaries Using Coastal Sharks As Sentinel Species
… transitional environments that play key roles in coastal ecosystem functioning by providing essential habitats to ecologically important plant and animal species. Estuaries are exposed to a number of anthropogenic impacts, including heavy metal contamination from human activities. However, few …
