The Methodology of Calculating the Carbon Footprint of a Building
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The thesis research topic I chose is the methodology of calculating the carbon footprint of a building. I chose this topic because I care a lot about our environment and sustaining it. How can I take a site and not wipe ...
In Touch with Prairie Living, September 2023
(North Dakota State University, 2023-09-01)
September 2023 column for North Dakota and South Dakota newspapers.
Processing and Application of MXene (Ti3C2) for Plant Nutritional Stress Sensing
(North Dakota State University, 2023)
Environmental stresses cause nutritional stresses which in turn lower crop yields, so understanding this complex relationship can improve crop growth and enable new precision farming methods. The aim of this study is to ...
Rangeland and Pasture Improvements for Southeastern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Degraded pasture and rangelands are becoming increasingly present in southeastern North Dakota and throughout the Northern Great Plains. Problems associated with degraded pasture and rangelands include loss of biodiversity, ...
Impact of Artificial Aeration on Phytoplankton Growth and Seasonal Succession in a Eutrophic Lake
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Excessive phytoplankton growth caused by increased loadings of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) is the most visible symptoms of eutrophication. At higher densities phytoplankton creates water quality problems such as offensive ...
Ecological Complexity of Non-Native Species Impacts in Desert Aquatic Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Without an adequate understanding of complex interactions between native and non-native species, management of invasive species can result in unforeseen detrimental impacts. I used both field and laboratory experiments to ...
Body Shape Divergence Among Wild and Experimental Populations of White Sands Pupfish (Cyprinodon Tularosa)
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Reports of contemporary evolution have become ubiquitous, but replicated studies of phenotypic divergence for wild populations are exceptionally rare. In 2001, a series of experimental populations were established to ...
The Applicability of Physiology for Conservation and Management Purposes: A Case-Study Using the Breeding Season of the Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius Phoeniceus)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Physiology has the potential to play a unique and important role in conservation and management practices by helping identify the mechanistic responses of populations to environmental changes, and providing physiological ...
Cell Entrapment for Mitigating Fouling in Membrane Bioreactors Treating Domestic Wastewater
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been a process of choice for wastewater treatment and reuse because of several advantages over conventional process (activated sludge) including superior quality effluent, less biomass ...
First Flowering Date Trends in Clay County, Minnesota and Pollination and Life History Characteristics of Hoary Puccoon (Lithospermum Canescens)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Plant species in Clay County, Minnesota have been changing their first flowering dates (FFDs) in response to climate changes. To document those shifts, in 2011 and 2012 I recorded phenological data for Clay County, Minnesota. ...
