Five HRI students make presentations
Five
HRI students contributed to this year’s Ocean
Science Meeting held in February in Portland, Oregon. Featuring more
than 4,000 presenters, it was one of the largest conferences ever held
on oceanography. The conference is hosted by the American Geophysical
Unit, The Oceanography Society, the Estuarine Research Foundation, and
the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography. The five HRI
students contributed the following presentations:
- Anthony Reisinger: “Hurricane Ike beach and foredune impacts”
- John Wood: “Species discrimination using AISA hyperspectral imagery in Redfish Bay,
Texas”
- April Anderson: “The effect of pH
and temperature on early development of the green sea urchin (Lytechinus
variegatus)”
- Lori Busch: “Determining the Tidal or Non Tidal
Nature of Florida Keys Water Level Stations”
- Michael Reuscher: “Finding Coral: the deep water corals of British Columbia”
