- Beach dynamics, beachfront development, and climate change: Interactions that impact sea turtle nesting beaches.
- Creator
- Bladow, Rachel A., Milton, Sarah L., Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
- Abstract/Description
-
Climate change will expose sea turtle nests to higher temperatures and more storms; both may negatively impact sea turtle nest success. In this study, unhatched eggs were collected from the Boca Raton, Florida beach and developmental stage at embryonic death determined. Elevated nest temperatures increased embryonic mortality, and the most significant relationship was between mortality and the percent of time embryos were exposed to temperatures above 34°C. Loggerhead turtles exhibited higher...
Show moreClimate change will expose sea turtle nests to higher temperatures and more storms; both may negatively impact sea turtle nest success. In this study, unhatched eggs were collected from the Boca Raton, Florida beach and developmental stage at embryonic death determined. Elevated nest temperatures increased embryonic mortality, and the most significant relationship was between mortality and the percent of time embryos were exposed to temperatures above 34°C. Loggerhead turtles exhibited higher rates of mortality compared to green turtles at temperatures above 34°C. Only loggerhead nests were exposed to inundation, but embryonic mortality did not differ from noninundated nests. Beach profiles across the nesting season were also determined. A major storm altered the beach more in areas of coastal development; however, this was impacted by a nourishment project and the presence of a structured inlet. Future management strategies may need to protect sea turtle nests from extended periods at elevated temperatures.

Show moreFlorida Atlantic University library was planned to be the most modern, efficient, and impressive in the world, the model for the library of the future. Edward M. Heiliger, its first director, was the world's leading authority on library automation during the 1960s. He assembled a team that solved many problems using the computer technology of the time. The library received a Herculean task: to design and implement a new system while establishing a collection. Administrators, educators, and students came to FAU to take part in a different concept in education, a place where advanced technology would be merged into the learning process, but they brought traditional views and values. Despite the best of intentions and bold prognostications, insufficient funding and the ingrained ideas of its users prevented the realization of the library's potential.

The purpose of this study was to identify factors that predict the length of time a student takes to complete a bachelor's degree. Multiple regression analysis was used to predict the criterion, number of semesters to graduation, from the 33 predictors derived from a questionnaire.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to identify factors that predict the length of time a student takes to complete a bachelor's degree. Multiple regression analysis was used to predict the criterion, number of semesters to graduation, from the 33 predictors derived from a questionnaire. Seventy-four percent of the variance in semesters to graduation (F(33,40) = 3.51, p < .0002) was accounted for by the predictors. A subset analysis revealed that 43% (F(9,94) = 7.95, p < .0001) of the variance in number of semesters to graduate was accounted for by the nine predictors judged to be best. These predictors were previous credits earned, change of major, effects of major change, enrollment status, social interaction with faculty, sense of belonging, perception of the academic experience, perception of performance, and expectation of time to graduate. Cross-validation of this subset of predictors yielded an R^2 of .148. This level of shrinkage was due to the small sample size in relation to the number of predictors.

Florida Atlantic University (FAU) has joined this nationwide collegiate effort through President Frank Brogan's recent signing of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). For my thesis, I estimate greenhouse gas emissions at FAU from 2005-2007 through collecting and analyzing data from different university departments and inputting this information into the Clean Air- Cool Planet Campus Carbon Calculator for further computations. This greenhouse gas emission inventory for FAU meets the ACUPCC requirements. Using this greenhouse gas emission baseline, a comprehensive plan can be produced to monitor progress toward creating a sustainable and climate neutral FAU.
