The proposal for the study is to restore ecosystems near fish farms. Surrounded ecosystems have shown to be harmed by heavy pollutant (lead, mercury, and arsenic). In the long run the research team plans to stop more input of heavy metals into the water with the help of the Philippines community. The outcome for the project is to educate, care for the health of the community, and have cleaner and drinkable water.

In the Fall 2023 semester, I worked as the stage manager for our show of "The Life of Galileo" by Bertolt Brecht. Being a stage manager requires a lot of organization, attention to detail, communication, collaboration, and paperwork. You are there from the beginning with auditions and concept meetings to the end with strike (clearing the stage of the show). During this process, you are a main point of contact between departments and once the show opens, you are the one leading the shows to ensure they happen the way they are intended to. This show was my first time stage managing. It is a very difficult role to step into, but I had lots of fun and wanted to share my work and learning.

The topic that I have chosen for paper is The Battle of Chavez Ravine. The Battle of Chavez Ravine refers to the events that took place in Los Angeles, CA between 1951-1961. The focus of my paper is on the families living in Chavez Ravine and what their experience was like getting forcibly thrown out of their homes, as well as how the events separated families and friendships that previously held close bonds. The eviction of the Mexican-American community lead to the installment of Dodger Stadium,which was another component of a new suburban culture that was made to favor white middle class suburban consumers. My argument is when the residents lost their homes they also lost their memories.

The Arcata Marsh is responsible for treating the wastewater of the City of Arcata so it is clean enough to release into the ocean. After undergoing preliminary processing, treatment ponds are used to remove organic matter and pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater, using the symbiotic work of plants like the native broadleaf cattail (Typha latifolia), and the nitrogen-fixing and nitrifying bacteria that grow on their roots, to absorb these chemicals from the water. For this experiment, we observed cattail roots and root microbiota at the inlets and outlets of the pond using scanning electron microscopy, looking at the samples with up to 5000x magnification.

For environmental and economic reasons, there is a global interest in reducing the use of fossil fuels, including gasoline for cars. Whether motivated by the environment or by the economics, consumers are starting to switch to electric vehicles. Several countries are seeing early signs of the potential for rapid growth in the adoption of electric vehicles. In the US and other countries, the release of the more affordable all-electric Tesla Model 3 has resulted in record numbers of pre-orders and long wait lists. Our group set out to find an optimal allocation of electric charging stations in the U.S and South Korea by creating a math model of the number of stations per region.

The application of TEK to the klamath river and the Yurok tribe. How to intertwine the scientific methods with the original knowledge of the native people. Mainly focusing on how pacific lamprey and salmon are effected and ways to apply the old and new techniques to help the current populations recover and grow, such as better ways to monitor and take care of the river and what live in the river ecosystem.

In our presentation, we will be researching and presenting the historical, and current effects in the Eel River regarding the invasive Sacramento Pike Minnow. This fish was introduced into the Eel River watershed in 1962 and has been an issue for people who depend on the river for the past 45 years. The pike minnow is a species that eats juvenile salmonids (salmon, trout, steelhead). Salmonids are extremely important to the eco-system as well as the people who rely on it. The Wiyot people depend on healthy salmon runs each and every year as a source of food, and more importantly in today's day and age, a source of income.

During the summer of 2019, I was given the opportunity to participate in the HSU Tibet program under the direction of Anthony Rossi. The program is set up to allow each student a chance to conduct field observations of various topics. My focus, as a Religious Studies major, was set to learn about the various ritualistic practices unique to Tibet Buddhist. The ritual that I have chosen to focus on is the Tibetan Buddhist Cham, a festival dance that we observed in Drigung on June 30. My goal is that my project gives a comprehensive understanding of the religious goals of this ritual through an analysis of the dance formation, history, and meanings to its community.

This poster will illustrate the relationships between the Northern, Central, and Southern Pomo tribal communities and the Russian River watershed in the context of their forced relocation to reservations and rancherias over the course of the nineteenth century. It will illustrate the effects of settler incursion in terms of genocidal campaigns, enslavement, western agriculture, urban development, and recreational water use. Furthermore, it will explore the effects that both the loss and subsequent restoration of federal recognition had on Pomo rights to ground and surface water in the Russian River watershed.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of three different workload protocols on exercise volume completed during multiple sets of exhaustive anaerobic running on a treadmill. The longer times per set and greater volume achieved during the descending speed (DS) protocol, in comparison to the descending grade (DG) and constant set (CS) protocols, suggests the potential for a greater training effect. Total exercise volume achieved during the four sets of the DS protocol was significantly higher than both the CS and DG protocols. Differences in cadence values among the protocols could help explain differences in performance implicating muscle fiber type recruitment and fatigue.
