Correlating hydric soil water content with arthropod populations in wetlands.
With the ever-present threat of global warming, it is essential that ecologists continue to monitor the state of freshwater wetlands. Inundation patterns cycle throughout the year, and with it the water content of wetland soils. By collecting pairs of leaf litter and soil samples along an upland-lowland gradient, the relationship between arthropod populations and soil water content can be examined. Six different wetland sites of varying classification in southeastern Ohio were sampled during June-August of 2024. Litter samples were processed using a Berlese funnel and specimens were identified in the lab using dissection microscopes, while soil samples were weighed and baked to determine water content . Our overarching goal was to determine if terrestrial soil and leaf litter arthropods could be used as bioindicators of the frequency and duration of inundation in wetlands
CO2 Mineralization Via Produced Water: Assessing the Effect of Mg2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ on Calcium Carbonate Polymorphs Precipitated Under Alkaline Conditions in a Semi-batch Process

The Experiences of Older Adults with Vascular Anomalies: An Oral History
Older adults who have navigated care for vascular anomalies (VAs) their entire lives can help clinicians and researchers understand the most significant experiences for patients across multiple life stages. Their insights can also reveal gaps in care and supportive resources that can inform the development of tailored interventions across age groups. We explored the experiences of older adults with rare VAs. Data were collected using in-depth oral history interviews with 9 older adults (Mean age = 69.4 years; SD = 4.1) with VAs recruited from advocacy organizations. The interviews were conducted over the phone or using Zoom
