SUMMARY:Improvement of the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Dry-Spun Cellulose Nanofibril Filaments: Effect of Substrate
DESCRIPTION:Nutting Hall\, Room 213\nThe School of Forest Resources presents a Graduate Seminar in Wood Science\nShokoofeh Ghasemi\nPhD Candidate of Renewable Nanomaterials\n\nUsing Cellulose Nanofibrils (CNF) for the production of filaments is a comparatively new application for CNF which can broaden nanocellulose applications in many ways. Nanocellulose filaments can be used to make textiles and thus can be used in the composite structures as well as high-tech textile and clothing applications. Different methods are proposed for spinning of filaments from cellulose nanofibrils which are mostly under two categories of dry-spinning and wet-spinning. In the dry-spinning method\, the substrate will have significant influence on the properties of the filament as the as-spun filament will be firstly in contact with the substrate. In this work\, the influence of different substrates on the properties of the nanocellulose filament is studied. Teflon tape\, Teflon film and glass are used for this study and the influence of adding oil to decrease surface friction on the surface properties of the substrate were studied. The relationships between surface properties and the cross-sectional form of the filaments are evaluated.

SUMMARY:Integrating Genetics and Physiology to Gain Insights Into Species Responses to Environmental Change
DESCRIPTION:The School of Marine Sciences presents \nDr. Brent L. Lockwood\nAssistant Professor\, Dept. of Biology\nUniversity of Vermont \nAbiotic and biotic factors create and maintain diversity\, at multiple levels of biological organization. The biosphere can be a challenging place in which to live because physiological processes are perturbed by changes in the environment. But species have evolved to cope with environmental change. What are the coping mechanisms\, and can they be modified further to keep pace with climate change? In the broader context of ecological communities\, how might changes in the environment influence competitive interactions among species? By integrating approaches in developmental biology\, genetics\, genomics and biochemistry\, we can begin to connect molecular processes to whole-organism phenotypes in an ecological context. Hereby\, organismal biology can help to us understand how species are responding to climate change.

SUMMARY:Master of Science Marine Biology Proposal Presentations: John Carlucci\, Ashley Charleson\, & Elise Hartill
DESCRIPTION:The School of Marine Sciences Presents \nMaster of Science Marine Biology Proposal Presentations \n11:15  John Carlucci: Understanding spatial Variability in Life History of Cod (Gadus morhua) in the Eastern Gulf of Maine.\nOver the past several decades\, the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) stock in the Gulf of Maine (GOM) has experienced a steep decline in abundance and exhibited changes in spatial distribution. Although the cod fishery in the Eastern Gulf of Maine (EGOM) remains open to fishing\, low stock density and complex bathymetry has resulted in little fishing effort and sparse data collection. The established Gulf of Maine cod stock assessment/management assumes that there is one stock in which life history parameters among individuals across the GOM are consistent enough such that any differences would not impede the stock-rebuilding plan. Given the variation in habitat\, ecosystem structure\, and food availability across the GOM\, it is unlikely that these assumptions work to rebuild the overall cod stock and reduce overfishing across the GOM. We will develop allometric keys (e.g. length at age\, weight at age) for cod in different regions of the Gulf of Maine\, which will allow us to identify possible spatial variability in life history parameters. We will use statistical models to make inferences about inter-regional growth rates between the EGOM\, western GOM\, and George’s Bank. This study can help us evaluate the significance of spatial variability in life history parameters of cod in the Gulf of Maine.\nCommittee Members: Yong Chen\, Keith Evans\, Josh Stoll (policy )\, Anne Richards (Scientist at NEFSC)\n \n11:45 Ashley Charleson:  Factor Influencing Size-at-sex-change in the Gulf of Maine Northern Shrimp\, Pandalus borealis.\nNorthern shrimp\, Pandalus borealis\, support the last remaining open access commercial fishery in the U.S. Though an important winter fishery in the Gulf of Maine\, it has remained closed since 2014 after the stock experienced multiple years of low stock abundance and recruitment. As a protandrous hermaphrodite\, northern shrimp mature and spawn first as males before transitioning to female at 2-3 years of age. Past studies show the age at which male shrimp become female is inversely related to size at age\, with earlier transitions occurring commonly for larger shrimp. However\, additional factors such as temperature and commercial fishing may also cause variation in size and age at sex change. In this study\, I evaluate spatio-temporal trends in size at sex change\, identify possible environmental and anthropogenic sources of influence\, and identify the underlying mechanisms causing variation in this important life history process. Furthermore\, I will use these results to predict future trends in size-at-sex-change\, as well as the implications of projected impacts of these shifts on future recruitment and abundance of the northern shrimp fishery in the Gulf of Maine. Understanding the biological response of shrimp to changing environmental conditions and fishing activity can provide critical information for the development of a sustainable fishery.\nCommittee Members: Yong Chen\, Keith Evans\, Josh Stoll (policy)\, Anne Richards (Scientist at NEFSC)\n\n12:15 Elise Hartill:  Fjord Community Structure in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve\, Alaska.\nRed Tree Coral\, Primnoa pacifica\, is a conspicuous species of deepwater emerged gorgonian coral in the North Pacific and provides important habitat for a number of associated species. As a part of the Glacier Bay National Park Exploration of March 2016\, ROV video footage will be analyzed to compare community structure along the length of the fjord system. Ten sites where chosen for ROV dives in the East Arm\, West Arm and Central Channel of Glacier Bay. Geological features\, such as substrate type\, seafloor roughness\, slope and aspect that are associated with colonies of P. pacifica will be described alongside the species composition at each of the ten sites. The results of this analysis will show how the patterns of community succession occur along a transect of glacial retreat in the area. Preliminary studies that describe assemblage patterns such as this help create a foundation of knowledge and context for more complex biological and ecological questions. This expedition included a public education component and these results will be of educational value to the National Park Service as well.\nCommittee Members: Yong Chen\, Keith Evans\, Josh Stoll (policy)\, Anne Richards (Scientist at NEFSC)

SUMMARY:Acid Justice: Challenges and  Opportunities for Managing Ocean and  Coastal Acidification
DESCRIPTION:The School of Biology and Ecology presents \nDr. Aaron Strong\nUniversity of Maine \nDr. Strong’s research focuses on studying the human dimensions of changing coastal and marine systems. He has a particular interest in the emergent problem of ocean and coastal acidification and mitigation and adaptation responses to this problem. Currently\, several states in the Northeast have completed\, are undergoing\, are initiating\, or are exploring formal governmental processes for assessing the threat of ocean and coastal acidification to our coastal ecosystems and economies. One tool in the toolbox to combat ocean acidification is the use of formal risk assessments which seek to identify hotspots of physical\, chemical\, biological and ecological exposure to acidification that are also areas of high social vulnerability and limited adaptive capacity to the impacts of acidification. In his work\, Dr. Strong assesses the adaptive capacity around the Gulf of Maine to address ocean and coastal acidification and also identifies what regional and local concerns remain unaddressed by the use of standard risk assessment procedures\, using the case study of Maine’s wild-harvest fisheries and aquaculture industry.
