Water Adsorption/Desorption on Environmental Metal Oxides Determined by the Diffuse Refractive Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS) Technique

Cesar Fernandez, Chemistry Undergraduate Student

College of Natural Resources & Sciences

Clouds affect terrestrial cooling by scattering solar radiation back to space. Particulate matter (PM) suspended in the air can initiate cloud seeding. This process is directly related to the relative humidity above the PM surface and water adsorption. In the initial stages of this process, PM collects sparingly small layers of water, known as monolayers. Details of water uptake at this level are still lacking in the literature and we desire to quantify water uptake on atmospheric PM to enhance literature values.

Water conservation

College of Professional Studies

My project is about water conservation based off of Project WET curriculum. I worked with the students in REC 345: Environmental Education to put together 8 activities. The students presents their activities on zoom. It’s a 2 day event. 4 groups present on the first day then the other 4 present in the second day.

Water Conservation’s Affect on Tribal Water Rights

College of Professional Studies

This poster will focus on what the effects of the water conservation efforts of San Diego County have on the Kumeyaay peoples’ Tribal Water Rights.

Water Management System of the Classic Maya of Palenque (A.D. 250-900)

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

The scope of this research is to understand the dynamic relationship between the Classic Maya of Palenque and water. The research presents geographical features, climate, techniques, and technology used to harness water. Furthermore, the activities of the Classic Maya of Palenque (A.D. 250-900) involving water will be presented and elaborated as dynamic casual processes revealing and reconstructing cultural aspects. The investigation of the water management of Palenque system reveals the relationship between functionality and Maya ideology .The dynamic relationship between the Classic Maya of Palenque water management

Water Temp. & Clarity Effects on Diving Duck Duration Under Water

College of Natural Resources & Sciences

My research project took place at the Arcata Marsh looking at two diving duck species (Greater Scaups and Buffle Heads) and determining whether water temperature or water clarity effect the the duck's duration underwater.

Watershed Base Plane

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Surveying Campbell creek watershed, located in north eastern Humboldt county on the edge of the Hoopa Indian Reservation, implementing mitigation plans for conservation and restoration. There are many environmental impacts that are hazardest to the water runoffs and aquifers such as legal/ illegal cannibus grow, illegal solid waste dumping, and sedimentation from old logging roads. Building maps would provide baseline information for measuring activity that can be harmful to the ecosystem that provides an abundance of resources for a complex bio-diversity and cultural resources for the Hupa Tribe.

Waves of Friends at the Dunes

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Friends of The Dunes is a an organization that is heavily involved with building community through various educational and stewardship programs. Our project revolved around outdoor pubic outreach and child education. Local schools have the opportunity to learn about biodiversity and conversation of coastal ecology.

Wayfinder

College of Professional Studies

Our research project focuses on encouraging HSU students to become more physically active, while immersing themselves in the Arcata community. Our Wayfinder project includes a map of trails that will be highlighted by semi-permanent signage, to increase walkability and integrate HSU students into the community. With the results from a previous survey, the trails in this project preview a variety of popular places in the Arcata community to promote Arcata-HSU relations and influence students to explore their new home. In our video, we will share the trails, how we created the trails, and our plans for future engagement.

We Are Your Community

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

For our project we want to focus on bridging divides between students of color and the community. To address this need, we are designing a media campaign called "We Are Your Community." This media campaign will consist of posters in business windows, short videos on social media and a website, and a community building event where students and community members can interact. The media campaign will highlight the stories of students of color and the nuances of their positive and negative experiences in Humboldt County.
