An extensive research report that discusses the relationship between the successful settlement of oyster larvae and changing turbidity and ammonia levels in saltwater ecosystems. This project was presented at 3 separate events (The Georgia Climate Conference, CCGA Geology Club Colloquium, and the Coastal Science Symposium).

An extensive research report discussing how Scurius carolinensis, also known as the Eastern Grey Squirrel, changes its foraging behaviour depending on its perceived predation risk. This research was conducted in the College of Coastal Georgia Teel Lake forest.

A detailed research report discussing the observed resistance of Eschericia coli and Staphylococcus aureus to various antibiotics. This paper has a high level of detail, and includes in depth discussions on each of the 12 antibiotics tested.

An extensive research report that discusses how Odonata species can be used as indicators of changes in dissolved oxygen and surface water tempertaure. Includes statistical analyses, data appendices, and a high level of detail. Study was conducted on St Simons Island, Georgia, but drew inspiration from studies such as those done by Colding et al. (2009) and Vilenica et al. (2020).

A research paper discussing how Brassica rapa (also known as Wisconsin Fast Plant) seedlings react to varying soil salinity levels. This is a relatively short and easy to understand paper, however all of the main research points and questions are clearly discussed.

A brief research paper that reviews how changes in tidal patterns can cause changes in the phosphate and ammonia concentrations of small barrier island creeks. This research was conducted on Sapelo Island, Georgia.

A bried research paper discussing how the proportion of organic matter changes as you approach the water table when sampling Maritime forest soil. This study was conducted on Sapelo Island, Georgia.

A short research paper discussing how the differences in vegetative species of fore-dunes with hind-dunes can be used to show the level of natural and anthropogenic disturbance experienced by these ecosystems. Research was conducted on Sapelo Island, Georgia.
