This program will help benefit my project by helping to increase awareness of community assets and promoting the Tar-Pamlico Blue Economy Corridor. “I am so honored to accept the Water Scholars Award. It will also allow me to examine the parasite diversity and abundance present in two native mud crabs.”Īnjalee Hou (Economics) Asset Mapping and Promoting Economic Development of the Tar-Pamlico River Basin Blue Economy Corridor. ![]() “This award will allow me to focus on my research and will allow me to implement a field experiment to study the effects that salinity has on the survival on a native North Carolina mud crab. ![]() ![]() Haley Hagemeier (Environmental and Organismic Biology) Investigating Salinity Tolerance and Parasite Diversity in Native North Carolina Estuary Xanthidae and the Invasive Parasitic Barnacle, L. This award also provides the lab with the opportunity to train more undergraduate students in data analysis techniques, allowing the Asch lab to expand and introduce more students to research in marine biology.” “Thanks to the support of the Water Scholars Award, we will be able to purchase more lab equipment and streamline the data analysis process. The materials being analyzed to promote full circle recycling have been used for other manufacturing purposes, donated to see how much phosphorous they can sorb in a setting such as a wastewater treatment plant, and reused again to examine plant growth.”Ĭhristine Chan (Biology and Environmental Studies) Impacts of ship-channel dredging on suspended marine detritus and zooplankton offshore of Cape Fear. “Being a Water Scholars recipient will aid in getting the resources to analyze how the same materials used to take excess nutrients out of treated wastewater will do as a substrate for plants to grow in. This award also allows me to provide and train the Museum with citizen science water quality test kits and other monitoring equipment that will be incorporated into the Museum’s curriculum, hopefully sparking curiosity in the next generation of STEM researchers.” Deja Drummond (Environmental Engineering) Desorption Characteristics of Recycled and Manufactured Materials in Wastewater Treatment Plants. From this award, I will be able to continue fostering a relationship with the wonderful staff at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences at Greenville and Contentnea Creek. “I am so thankful for the Water Scholars Award.
