Carbon storage and preservation in seagrass meadows
Seagrass meadows are important ‘Blue Carbon’ sinks but many questions remain unaddressed in regards to the organic carbon (OC) sequestration capacity and processes leading to retention and persistence of OC in seagrass sediments. The research summarised in this dissertation examined 37 sediment …

The effects of herbivory, competition, and disturbance on island meadows
… cause declines of native species. In Garry oak meadows, Canada’s most endangered ecosystem, native forbs have declined relative to non-native grasses and I tested the facilitatory role of herbivory in that degradation. My investigations, novel to the field, were conducted on islands spanning the …

Structural evolution of the Max Meadows thrust sheet, Southwest Virginia
Fold and fault structures in sub-greenschist strata of the most internal, Southern Appalachian foreland thrust sheet developed in progressive simple shear near the ductile-to-brittle transition. Heterogeneous simple shear (γ < 3) was localized in incompetent, anisotropic pelitic rocks (Rome …

Contribution of Recharge Along Regional Flow Paths to Discharge at Ash Meadows, Nevada
Springs in the Ash Meadows, Nevada wetland area are discharging groundwater at a high volume that cannot be sustained by local, present-day precipitation and associated recharge. Previous groundwater flow models for this region have required groundwater to flow through complex geology for long …
