The Northwestern California Genocide Project is a Digital Archive put together and presented by Humboldt State University students.This project is the first digital source to present to the public and future scholars a collection of items on genocidal atrocities and mass extermination events committed against Northwestern California native peoples perpetrated by white pioneers and settlers around the mid and late 19th century.

We are assessing movement of juvenile Coho and adult straying among Freshwater Creek and two other Humboldt Bay tributaries using PIT tags and mark-recapture multi-state modeling. As salmon habitat becomes more fragmented through human actions, the need to better understand interactions between connected salmonid populations only grows. This research will focus on quantifying the frequency of juvenile dispersal between nearby watersheds to evaluate the need for changes in both management and monitoring. If there is significant movement between these watersheds, effective management and monitoring strategies of Freshwater Creek may need to be expanded to include nearby streams.

We will be assessing the newly implemented programming model used by the LCAE in order to understand where improvements are needed and where we can identify strengths to establish best practices at the center. We will also be looking at how many people use the center and how we can focus outreach efforts in the future. This assessment is being done for internal programming purposes and to support HSU in its larger mission to improve outcomes for students of color, particularly Latinx students at HSU.

This project describes the 3D cartographic methods used to design a panorama map of Lake Clark, Alaska.

Upwelling in the California Current System (CCS) brings nutrient rich water to the continental shelf. Included with these nutrients are some trace metals. Trace iron (Fe) has been shown to be a control on primary productivity in the CCS. 2014 marked a year of low upwelling along the CA coast. This anomaly provides an opportunity to assess annual variability in processes affecting micronutrient distributions here. In 2014, the IRNBRU research cruise measured surface macronutrient and trace metal distributions in the CCS. Their results show lower nutrient concentrations than found in previous studies, and suggest an unusual uptake ratio of macronutrients by microorganisms in the area.

My poster will be an examination of current tiger conservation efforts and how indigenous people have contributed to the recent growth in tiger populations. Traditional beliefs surrounding tigers shape the perspectives of Indigenous tribes living alongside these powerful cats. Understanding the indigenous perspective of coexistence with tigers offers conservationists new insights for promoting tiger conservation elsewhere. The poster will outline where tigers fit into the attitudes and beliefs of indigenous people living alongside them, how it affects conservation efforts today, and why it is important.

My research project will explore the significance of fire. I will be researching the importance of fire in environments and communities, and how we can learn from past fire management in order to improve our modern fire management.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of verbal and visual prompting during balloon badminton on the number of correct overhand badminton swings (OBS), also known as clears, of an 8-year-old female subject with spastic cerebral palsy. Using a 4-week ABAB design, the intervention was found to be effective at improving the rate of correctly performed OBSs by as much as 30% on a weekly average between baseline and intervention phases and by as much as 37.5% overall.

For my project I wanted to focus on the impact that mandated Physical Fitness Testing has on students. The state of California mandates that students receive a physical fitness test. The test then categorizes the results and measures health based on these results. What it fails to take into account are biological, psychological, and socioeconomic components that can contribute to the students results. Body image and eating disorders are a prevalent issue amongst our society. What I hope this project addresses is the limited research we have on the detriment of physical fitness testing and if and how it impacts the mental health of students.

Our Spring 2023 Senior project is an event that invited the community to a 5 vs 5 soccer tournament in Arcata. The event took place on Saturday, April 22nd on the College Creek soccer field at Cal Poly Humboldt. Using a large facility like this outdoor soccer field will gave us the opportunity to host a large number of participants, Providing a safe and equal environment to play with others. One of the objectives of Green Goal Futbol was to create an accessible all inclusive event on campus to bring people together and have fun. We are hoping that people's memories of the event will inspire others to host similar events in the future.
