  Phylogeographic analysis of genetic patterns between Zeacumantus subcarinatus and Z. lutulentus, two closely related snail populations endemic to New Zealand. Benchwork included PCR amplification, purification, sequencing, and sequence read verification of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), followed by in silico analysis by MEGA5 alignment, Clustal W, SAMOVA, and AMOVA.

  Linkage mapping of flagellar mutants in single-cell algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Benchwork included positional cloning of flagellar mutant loci by linkage analysis. Techniques mastered include DNA extraction, PCR optimization, agarose electrophoresis, micromanipulation, algae culturing, and bioinformatics database mining and sequence alignment (chlamy.org).

  Earth's Global Environment: Iceland Studied the unique environmental forces of Iceland, including geology, glaciation, geothermal energy, plate tectonics, etc. A year of classroom study culminated in a 10-day research venture to Iceland to measure the effects of rapid glacial retreat on the proximate flora. Using GPS coordinates, sites were annually revisited and assessed for plant species variety and number. As expected, plant life robustly expanded in the fertile wake of receding glaciers. These longitudinal findings highlight many of the recent global environmental concerns. Show less
