These lesson plans are classroom-tested science lesson plans created for the Virginia Scientists and Educators Alliance by graduate students.

This paper details findings presented at the U.S.-Iran Symposium on Wetlands in March 2016 about the increasing watershed influence and hypo-salinity in Los Penasquitos Lagoon.

This case study profiles the 2015 Climate Scenario Planning for the Kenai Peninsula Science Transfer project led by the Tijuana River and Kachemak Bay Reserves.

This art collection is the result of work by 3rd-6th graders and stemmed from a climate resilience workshop hosted by the Tijuana River and Kachemak Bay Reserves as part of a 2015 Science Transfer project

This case study includes four scenario narratives outlining a different plausible future state of a system developed by local leaders, researchers, and stakeholders on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska.

This 2017 article appeared in the journal Ecology, and presents findings from a study assessing the individual and synergistic effects of air temperature and salinity on Olympia oyster mortality across temporal patterns that accurately reflect the natural environment.

This 2016 journal article was published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The study highlights how extreme precipitation events in 2011 may have contributed to near 100% mass mortality of wild oysters in northern San Francisco Bay.

This lesson plan helps teachers and students understand the concept of blue carbon and the impacts of sea level rise on salt marshes.

This journal article was published in Estuaries and Coasts in 2016, and decribes a study of how seasonal changes in temperature and salinity impact larval Olympia oyster recruitment across a range of sites and time intervals.

This article provides a comprehensive summary of what is known about the ecological functioning of the shore zone in freshwater ecosystems.
