Current research shows Northern Guam to be composed of porous limestone bedrock which allow groundwater to flow out. One large discharge point has already been identified last year in north-…
Animal Sciences
Coral reefs are essential to Guam because they protect the island from storms and aggressive waves. However, coral reefs have to encounter a problem known as coral bleaching; warm water temp…
Animal Sciences
Pesticides pose an increasing issue in the survivorship of bees in their normal lives, so this project can help solidify the fact that dangerous chemicals should not be as easily accessible…
Environmental Engineering
This project analyzes the different effects nature has on a slopes stability. It focuses on the effects of rain, water, vegetation, and suction stress. The purpose of the experiment is to de…
Materials Science
A flexible, stretchable, and conductible polyurethane/liquid metal composite was developed by combining polyurethane and gallium indium tin alloy liquid metal (Galinstan). The composite mate…
