Students in the graduate 'Biological Oceanography' class (OCG 561) will 
hold their poster symposium on December 6th.

At this event, students working alone or in small teams will present the 
culmination of one semester's work of research, on a topic of their 
choosing.

Here is the list of presenters and topics:

• Bishop, Ian. Latitudinal gradients and diatom community composition in the Southern Ocean.
• Carney, Jessica, & He, Bing. How does the shift in species richness with latitude change with organism size in marine ecosystems?
• Dannhauser, Casey & Flecchia, Nicole. Coastal Water Quality Indicators in Warren’s Cove, Osterville Massachusetts
• Dunn, Matt; Living Shoreline Installation Impacts on Mid-Atlantic Estuarine Biomass.
• Feen, Melanie, & Setta, Sam. The impact of physical factors on phytoplankton community composition derived from pigments.
• Fontaine, Diana; Gardiner, Christine & Hauer, Michelle. Melting Sea Ice and Ocean Production: Implications for the Global Carbon Cycle.
• Jordan, Skyler. The role of oceanographic fieldwork in the age of automation.
• Katz, Sam. Review of microbial response in the northern Gulf of Mexico to the ‘Deepwater Horizon’ oil spill
• Shapiro, Sara; McCarthy, Shannon & Hooks, Ben. Ocean Acidification and its Effects on Marine Teleost Fishes.
• Stahl, Angela. The impact of climate change on the polar microbial loop
• Santos, Nina, & Nowakowski Catrina. Shifts in atmospheric CO2 concentrations and its potential to cause changes that can propagate through food webs and affect penguins of the Pygoscelis genus
• Turner, Kyle. Temporal Variability in Phytoplankton Absorption and Size Distribution at GSO Dock.
