Sedimentology and Shallow Groundwater Responses of a Coastal Marsh Along a Salinity Gradient: A Case Study In Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Mississippi
… seasonal variability, and coastal storms in Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) near Pascagoula, Mississippi. Analysis of sediment includes color, organic matter, carbonate, magnetic susceptibility, and particle size. Shallow groundwater hydrologic trends between Summer 2015 …

EVALUATING HABITAT USE BY NEKTON IN WIDGEON GRASS (RUPPIA MARITIMA), SHOAL GRASS (HALODULE WRIGHTII), AND UNVEGETATED BOTTOM HABITATS IN THE GRAND BAY NATIONAL ESTUARINE RESEARCH RESERVE
… (shoal grass). The shallow coastal waters of the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) support both species, but the use of each seagrass as habitat by nekton is poorly understood, which can limit management decision-making. Nekton communities were sampled in May, July, September, …

Textural Analysis of Historical Aerial Photography to Determine Change In Coastal Marsh Extent: Site of the Present-Day Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (GBNERR), Mississippi, 1955-2014
… loss or gain in the vicinity of the present-day Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (GBNERR). After pre-processing the images, image textural parameters were computed using the Grey-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix procedure (ENVI v X.X). A Maximum-Likelihood classification of the textural …

Plant productivity and diversity in coastal wetlands in Mississippi – impact of hydrological extremes
… Hancock County Marshes on the west, and Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) on the east in Mississippi. I collected above- and belowground biomass samples in 2020 and 2021, developed linear mixed-effects models to predict how the plant productivity and diversity changed …

Upland Migration of Coastal Marshes as a Response to Sea Level Rise and Fire Management: Past, Present, and Predicted
… the historical land cover changes at the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Pascagoula River delta over two-time intervals since 1955 and focused on the forest-marsh dynamics. I found that while there were areas of forest transitioning to marsh and the rates of these …

Tidal hydrodynamic response to sea level rise and coastal geomorphology in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
… Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs), namely Grand Bay, MS, Weeks Bay, AL, and Apalachicola, FL. An extensive literature review examined the integrated dynamic effects of SLR on low gradient coastal landscapes, primarily in the context of hydrodynamics, coastal morphology, and marsh ecology. …

Predicting Multi-trophic Consequences of an Emerging Disease
… of C. camphora by birds. The field component (Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (GBNERR), Jackson County, MS) of chapter two involved the removal of P. borbonia main stems to mimic the impacts of LWD which resulted in a significant increase (~50%) in light transmission. All treated …
