PG 1126-041 is a closeby luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN) with a low redshift that displays complex and variable UV and X-ray absorption, which identifies winds expelled from the black hole environment. The data in this paper, collected by the Hubble Space Telescope, was normalized by polynomial fits applied using our own developed Python code. We analyzed the absorption by several ions (OVI, PV, NV, SiIV, CIV and the Lyman series) at 4 different epochs. Our goal is to study a potential correlation between the X-ray and UV absorption to understand their driving mechanism. Discoveries in this project will be compared to AGN much farther than the relatively close PG 1126-041.
Cost-Efficient Methods for Scottish Fishing Industries Affected by Rising Ocean

In our paper, we hope to find solutions to the Scottish fishing industries affected by the migration of Herring and Mackerel fish. We acquired pre-existing data from the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES) and used it to develop a Python program that manipulates the temperature of water in the North Sea. We identified the range of temperatures preferred by both species and used it in the simulation of our model. Finally, we calculated the cost of fishing trips as these species steered father away from the original possible fishers modeled through our Python program and a threshold for cost impracticality.
County Wide Assessment of Syringe Exchange Programs
- Rachel WaldmanDepartment of Social WorkGraduate Student
Intravenous drug usage can lead to multiple detrimental health related risks including the transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Hepatitis C, abscesses and infections, and drug related overdose. One of the most crucial interventions proven to reduce rates of these health risks among injection drug users is the syringe exchange program. This project examines the active syringe exchange programs in Humboldt County in order to explore the various practices, policies, and services offered by each. The ultimate goal for this project is to strengthen agency relationships, promote sharing of information and best practices, and maximize our ability to reach people in need.

COVID-19 in Prisons
- Jazmin DelgadoPsychologyUndergraduate Student
- Kory LambertsScientific Diving, Environmental StudiesUndergraduate Student
- Andrea GerardenInternational Studies, NursingUndergraduate Student
- Jeremy TietzPsychologyUndergraduate Student
This presentation was made and presented by the Members of the Formerly Incarcerated Students Club. This presentation brings awareness to how prisons and jails are being handled (or not being handled) for COVID-19. We discuss the rates of COVID-19 inside prisons and jails, what prisons are supposed to be doing to abide by COVID-19 Guidelines outlined by the CDC, why they cannot and are not implementing most of them, and what needs to happen to lower these rates.
CR Resource Center and Food Pantry
- Jenny QuigleySocial WorkGraduate Student
Mission The CR Resource Center (CRRC) seeks to decrease stigma and barriers and empower students to achieve academic success through increasing access to services and resources in a caring community. The Resource Center provides application assistance and information on CalFresh benefits and Medi-Cal, access to the Food Pantry, referrals to on and off campus programs in a safe and welcoming community space. Collaborations with the Klamath-Trinity campus and other community agencies are an essential part of the development of the CRRC. The CRRC opened its doors on 11/16 and will continue as an added resource on the CR campus.
Creating a Gift for the Future: Digitization Utilizing Omeka.net

The Library Scholar Internship team is digitizing historically significant objects from the library’s Special Collections. This process involves more than scanning objects, but publishing to a broader research community using Omeka.net to create digital exhibits. In this poster we discuss our process creating metadata, scanning procedures, researching the collections and publicizing our work. Our goal is to encourage students and faculty to use the library’s resources such as Collaboration Stations, SkillShops, librarians, computer labs, #mondopad and peers to improve and publish their research. The library is a dynamic space for students to work on innovative and collaborative projects.
Creating an Interactive Index Map Using Scanned Images: A Project for the Humboldt State University Library's Special Collections
- Daniel SnowGeographyUndergraduate Student
The Humboldt Room special collections at the Humboldt State University Library contains a large collection of delicate and vintage historical maps. Taking action to make searching the archive easier as well as to preserve the fragile status of historical maps has become a necessity. This can be accomplished by creating a “web-based digital map archive” and supplanting it with a Web Map component that allows users to search and download from the digital map archive.This poster introduces the concept of converting the map collection to a digital format, the methods used for developing an interactive web map, and the future status of the project.
Creating Awareness About Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Morgan CarleySocial WorkGraduate Student
The focus of my project was to address the lack of knowledge pertaining to Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and to let locals know. This included Bear River Rancheria, Eureka Police Department, Making Headway Center, and some other local locations. Pamphlets were dispersed with information regarding TBIs and were culturally appropriate for whichever population that they were dispersed to.
