With fewer than 1% of Earth Science degrees awarded to Native Americans, CCASE seeks to engage tribal youth in STEM by connecting Earth Science to their cultural values and community needs. By integrating indigenous culture and language into our curriculum and providing mentorship to high school students through our internship program, CCASE aims to support tribal school students in building strong science identities and to inspire Native American youth to pursue Earth Science careers. Our mission is to develop long-lasting and impactful education partnerships with schools affected by Cascadia earthquake and tsunami hazards towards collectively increasing community resilience to these hazards. HMSC Research Seminar - Arctic Cod Reproduction Under Prolonged Exposure to Ocean Acidification<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.or…> When: Thursday, February 6 - 3:30pm-4:30pm Speaker: Emily Slesinger, Alaska Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Services, NOAA Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365 Topic: Arctic cod reproduction under prolonged exposure to ocean acidification High latitude ecosystems are vulnerable to ocean acidification (OA), potentially affecting important fish species including Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida), a key forage fish species in the Arctic Ocean important for birds, marine mammals and other commercial and subsistence fished species. As the effects of climate change continue to alter natural ecosystems, existing relationships between fish reproductive development, output and success may change due to the direct and indirect effects of environmental stressors on reproductive biology. Field-based methods can provide valuable information about the past and current status of fish populations, yet lack the control to define mechanistic links between environmental stressors, parental condition and reproduction, especially in harsh, remote environments. To fill this knowledge gap, we performed a 6-month experiment in the lab where we exposed adult Arctic cod to either control or OA conditions from the onset of reproductive development in early October through larval hatching at the end of March. We assessed adult energetic status post-spawning, female and male gamete quality, 24-hr post fertilization developmental success and condition, larval hatching success, hatch timing, and larval sizes and energy stores at hatch. Overall, we found that prolonged exposure to OA led to unique responses that differed between male and female fish, as well as across multiple life stages from adults to gametes to hatched larvae. This comprehensive experiment also produced useful data that allowed us to investigate other biological influences on Arctic cod reproduction (e.g., higher female energetic status leads to better embryo development!). In this seminar we will first discuss the effects of OA on Arctic cod reproduction and larval development, and then explore some of the additional biological influences on Arctic cod reproductive biology. HMSC Research Seminar - Regeneration Revealed: A Single-Cell Journey into Hydractinia<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.or…> When: Thursday, February 13 - 3:30pm-4:30pm Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365 Speaker: Jingwei Song, Research Associate, Oregon State University's Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station (COMES)/USDA-ARS Pacific Shellfish Breeding Center Topic: Regeneration Revealed: A Single-Cell Journey into Hydractinia Regeneration is a remarkable biological phenomenon that has captivated scientists for over a century. Among the most fascinating organisms with regenerative capabilities is Hydractinia, a marine colonial hydrozoan that has been a subject of study since the 1880s, beginning with the pioneering work of August Weismann. This extraordinary organism possesses the ability to regenerate throughout its life, a feat made possible by its population of stem cells capable of differentiating into all other cell types. With modern genetic tools, we can now delve into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underpinning Hydractinia's regenerative prowess. Single-cell RNA-sequencing has proven invaluable in this effort, providing unprecedented resolution into the diverse cellular populations and their gene expression dynamics. In this seminar, I will introduce the biology of Hydractinia and highlight its significance as a model system for studying regeneration. I will also discuss the application of single-cell RNA-sequencing to this species, detailing key insights gleaned from this rich dataset and their implications for understanding stem cell biology and regenerative mechanisms.

Methods for estimating the number of animals in a population (abundance) commonly require obtaining a count of the individuals detected during a survey and an estimate of what proportion of the population this count represents. For the latter, additional information needs to be gathered during the survey. Distance sampling (DS), for example, is a commonly used method for estimating cetacean abundance during ship-based line transect surveys where this additional information consists of the perpendicular distances between the line and the detected cetacean schools. This method relies on that all animals directly on the line were detected. Using two observation platforms in a mark-recapture distance sampling survey can alleviate this potential issue. However, setting up a second observation platform in a meaningful way poses new challenges. In this talk, I will present case studies which used new technology for improving abundance estimation, two marine studies which employed acoustic recorders or drones during cetacean surveys and one terrestrial study which employed newly developed acoustic recorders for monitoring gibbons using spatial capture-recapture. These studies highlight the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to population monitoring. HMSC Research Seminar - Arctic Cod Reproduction Under Prolonged Exposure to Oceon Acidification<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.or…> When: Thursday, February 6 - 3:30pm-4:30pm Speaker: Emily Slesinger, Alaska Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Services, NOAA Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365 Topic: Arctic cod reproduction under prolonged exposure to ocean acidification High latitude ecosystems are vulnerable to ocean acidification (OA), potentially affecting important fish species including Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida), a key forage fish species in the Arctic Ocean important for birds, marine mammals and other commercial and subsistence fished species. As the effects of climate change continue to alter natural ecosystems, existing relationships between fish reproductive development, output and success may change due to the direct and indirect effects of environmental stressors on reproductive biology. Field-based methods can provide valuable information about the past and current status of fish populations, yet lack the control to define mechanistic links between environmental stressors, parental condition and reproduction, especially in harsh, remote environments. To fill this knowledge gap, we performed a 6-month experiment in the lab where we exposed adult Arctic cod to either control or OA conditions from the onset of reproductive development in early October through larval hatching at the end of March. We assessed adult energetic status post-spawning, female and male gamete quality, 24-hr post fertilization developmental success and condition, larval hatching success, hatch timing, and larval sizes and energy stores at hatch. Overall, we found that prolonged exposure to OA led to unique responses that differed between male and female fish, as well as across multiple life stages from adults to gametes to hatched larvae. This comprehensive experiment also produced useful data that allowed us to investigate other biological influences on Arctic cod reproduction (e.g., higher female energetic status leads to better embryo development!). In this seminar we will first discuss the effects of OA on Arctic cod reproduction and larval development, and then explore some of the additional biological influences on Arctic cod reproductive biology. HMSC Research Seminar - Regeneration Revealed: A Single-Cell Journey into Hydractinia<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.or…> When: Thursday, February 13 - 3:30pm-4:30pm Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365 Speaker: Jingwei Song, Research Associate, Oregon State University's Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station (COMES)/USDA-ARS Pacific Shellfish Breeding Center Topic: Regeneration Revealed: A Single-Cell Journey into Hydractinia Regeneration is a remarkable biological phenomenon that has captivated scientists for over a century. Among the most fascinating organisms with regenerative capabilities is Hydractinia, a marine colonial hydrozoan that has been a subject of study since the 1880s, beginning with the pioneering work of August Weismann. This extraordinary organism possesses the ability to regenerate throughout its life, a feat made possible by its population of stem cells capable of differentiating into all other cell types. With modern genetic tools, we can now delve into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underpinning Hydractinia's regenerative prowess. Single-cell RNA-sequencing has proven invaluable in this effort, providing unprecedented resolution into the diverse cellular populations and their gene expression dynamics. In this seminar, I will introduce the biology of Hydractinia and highlight its significance as a model system for studying regeneration. I will also discuss the application of single-cell RNA-sequencing to this species, detailing key insights gleaned from this rich dataset and their implications for understanding stem cell biology and regenerative mechanisms.

Kind regards, Khrystal From: 'Leonard, Christy M' via gilbertclub(a)lists.berkeley.edu<mailto:gilbertclub@lists.berkeley.edu> <gilbertclub(a)lists.berkeley.edu<mailto:gilbertclub@lists.berkeley.edu>> Date: Thursday, January 16, 2025 at 3:26 PM To: gilbertclub(a)lists.berkeley.edu<mailto:gilbertclub@lists.berkeley.edu> <gilbertclub(a)lists.berkeley.edu<mailto:gilbertclub@lists.berkeley.edu>> Subject: [GilbertClub] NPS Scientist in the Park Internship - Hydrology Assistant The National Park Service is hiring a hydrology intern through the Scientists in Parks Program. The intern will work to identify rivers within the Wild and Scenic River System that are most threatened under a warming climate and future water development by preforming analysis of historical hydrologic data to assess water quantity trends and evaluate projected climate-related changes in streamflow. This is a 1-year paid internship located in Fort Collins, CO that starts summer 2025. Exact start date is negotiable. The advertisement will close after receiving 75 complete applications or at 11:59 p.m. EDT on Sunday, January 19th, 2025, whichever occurs first. Please reach out to Susannah Erwin (Susannah_erwin(a)nps.gov<mailto:Susannah_erwin@nps.gov>) or Christy Leonard (christy_leonard(a)nps.gov<mailto:christy_leonard@nps.gov>) with questions about this opportunity.

The Act provides access to free-flowing rivers with outstanding natural, cultural, and recreational values for the enjoyment of present and future generations and protects and enhances their water quality and values. Rivers are designated by Congress or by the Secretary of the Interior. NPS has responsibilities for 64 of the 226 rivers in the National WSR System, both within and outside of parks. The NPS WSR Program works to protect and enhance the special character of designated WSRs in collaboration with parks, other Federal and State agencies, communities, and nonprofit partners, as well as the Interagency WSR Coordinating Council (IWSRCC). The WSR Act explicitly recognizes the importance of instream flow protection to accomplish the purposes of WSR designation. In this position, the member will help support the WSR program by conducting an inventory of flow protection needs and strategies for WSRs managed by NPS. Even in relatively intact and undeveloped watersheds such as those containing WSRs, the combined effects of climate change, water diversions, and land use changes all threaten natural hydrologic processes that support healthy ecosystems. The member will identify rivers that might be most threatened under a warming climate and future water development by preforming analysis of historical hydrologic data to assess water quantity trends and evaluate projected climate-related changes in streamflow. QUALIFICATIONS United States citizen, United States national, or a lawful permanent resident alien. Has received a high school diploma or equivalency certificate; or has not dropped out of secondary school to enroll as an AmeriCorps participant and agrees to obtain a high school diploma or its equivalent prior to using the education award.

Presentation Title: Retrofits to Revitalize Aging Infrastructure Presentation Synopsis: Retrofitting aging facilities can be a cost-effective approach to extending infrastructure lifespan but requires careful design and often creative solutions for retrofit projects to be successful. This presentation spotlights two past projects designed by RH2 Engineering that are now constructed. The first is the overhaul of Dunn Pump Station, the largest sewer lift station in the Rogue Valley, and the second is the retrofit of the Medford Wastewater Reclamation Facility’s (RWRF) biogas system. Through telling the stories of these two retrofit projects, we will touch on the retrofit design process, critical design elements, creative solutions, and other factors that make retrofit projects successful, as well as lessons learned and some intriguing points like avoiding a literal explosion at the Medford RWRF and the contractor electing to discharge raw sewage onto the Dunn Pump Station’s proclaimed “showroom finish”.
