Vignettes emerge of reception’s poster students
In the wake of the Jan. 25 launch of the inaugural COAST Faculty-Student Poster Reception, coverage of the christening continues to ripple throughout the CSU.
(“From the lab, the beach, the abyss” offers “A Closer Look” in Science & the CSU.)
In “Plastic Soup,” a post in the CSU Voices and Views blog, Chelsea Rochman describes her wide-ranging, far-cruising research into the extent and impacts of plastics in the ocean.
These various campus reports spotlight other research presented at the COAST reception, which brought students together with CSU Trustees, campus presidents and others:
- Seafloor mapping of scoured ripples / CSU Monterey Bay
- Internal waves of submarine canyons / Sacramento State
- Multibeam look at Pacific sand lance / Fresno State
- Sustainable Seafood (video) / CSU Channel Islands
- Phytoplankton to predators / Sonoma State
- Marine Protected Areas and fishing / CSU Dominguez Hills
- Fecal tracking from creek to SF Bay / CSU East Bay
- What Sea Slugs Can Tell You About Climate Change / CSU Fullerton
