School of Applied Health
Graduate Student
College of Professional Studies
High-incline walking is a relatively new trend with little comparative information. This study aimed to compare physiological (indirect calorimetry, relative oxygen consumption, heart rate) and psychological (enjoyment, affective valence, rating of perceived exertion) differences between 20% incline-walking and level-grade jogging at isocaloric intensity in young adults. A secondary purpose of this study was to establish an isocaloric protocol to compare 20% incline walking with level-grade jogging using relative VO2 as the primary measure while maintaining constant duration and relative work intensity.

Undergraduate Student
College of Natural Resources & Sciences
My research is done on Ensatina and California slender salamander microhabitat selection in the Arcata Community Forest. Soil moisture, canopy cover, soil temperature, cover object length/width, foliage cover and salamander length and weight were all recorded. This data was used to determine if Ensatina and California slender salamanders show microhabitat selection for certain soil temperature, soil moisture, canopy cover or foliage cover.
