Title: Rebuilding the coral tree of life to inform the sustainability of coral habitats
Part of the NOAA Omics Seminar Series
Presenter(s): Andrea Quattrini, Research Zoologist and Curator of Corals, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History
Sponsor(s): NOAA Omics
Seminar Contact(s): Nicole Miller, NOAA 'Omics Portfolio Specialist, noaa.omics@noaa.gov
Remote Access: Register Here
Abstract: Anthozoans (corals, sea anemones) are arguably among the most important animals on Earth Yet, accurate diversity estimates are lacking and we do not fully understand their evolutionary history. A thorough understanding of these processes across multiple scales of space-time will greatly inform their future sustainability. Here, I will discuss how genomics is helping us to better document extant diversity of anthozoans and reveal their diversification across deep time. I will also discuss how we are collectively working towards improving reference databases for environmental (e)DNA and how these efforts are directly informing conservation and restoration of coral habitats, with a particular focus in the Gulf of Mexico.
Bio(s): Andrea Quattrini is a Research Zoologist and Curator of Corals in the Department of Invertebrate Zoology at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. She studies the ecology and evolution of corals and associated fauna, and often focuses her questions on those that live in the most poorly studied environment on earth"the deep sea. Andrea strives to work on projects that directly connect with resource managers to help inform conservation of vulnerable marine ecosystems. Andrea has sailed on numerous research vessels throughout the North Atlantic Ocean using submersibles and ROVs and in 2020, was a Fulbright Scholar to Colombia. She is also passionate about education, outreach and mentorship, and strives to make science more equitable.

NOAA Science Seminar Series Title: Detecting and Tracking Smoke and Blowing Dust using JPSS VIIRS Aerosol Products Presenter(s): Amy Huff, NOAA/NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications and Research Sponsor(s): NOAA/OAR/Climate Program Office and the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) Seminar Contact(s): Alison Hayden ( abhayden@alaska.edu) & Genie Bey ( genie.bey@noaa.gov) Remote Access: https://uaf-accap.org/event/jpss-viirs-aerosol-products/Abstract: Atmospheric smoke and dust are hazards that impact human health and welfare. Level 2 (derived) aerosol observations from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the JPSS Program's SNPP, NOAA-20, and NOAA-21 polar-orbiting satellites aid in detecting and tracking smoke and blowing dust. VIIRS products include aerosol optical depth (AOD), a quantitative measure of atmospheric aerosols, and aerosol detection product (ADP), a qualitative indicator of the relative intensity of smoke and dust aerosols. VIIRS AOD and ADP have daily global coverage over cloud-free regions with 750m spatial resolution. A brief overview of the AOD and ADP algorithms will be presented, along with validation results, to highlight the strengths and limitations of the products. Examples of VIIRS AOD and ADP for recent smoke and blowing dust events, with a focus on Alaska, will demonstrate the utility of the products for research and operational applications, and show how the products can complement VIIRS true color and dust RGB imagery. Bio(s): Dr. Amy K. Huff is a Senior Research Scientist at I.M. Systems Group, a contractor for the NOAA NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR). She has a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California at San Diego and a M.S. in meteorology from Penn State University. Her research involves air quality applications of aerosol and trace gas observations from geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites. Dr. Huff acts as a liaison to satellite data end users and promotes STAR atmospheric composition products through trainings and social media.

NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: Ecosystem-Level Reference Points: Tool for Moving Toward Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management (EBM/EBFM Seminar Series) Remote Access: https://vimeo.com/event/4347845/4b491da5c0/registerPresenter(s): Dr. Wendy Morrison, Fishery Management Analyst, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, NMFS Sponsor(s): NMFS Ecosystem Based Management/Ecosystem Based Fishery Management Seminar Series (EBM/EBFM) and NOAA Central Library. Seminar Contact(s): EBFM/EBM Environmental Science Coordinator, Peg Brady ( peg.brady@noaa.gov) Abstract: In recent decades, marine fisheries management in the United States and around the world has shifted focus from single-species to ecosystem sustainability. Ecosystem-level reference points (ELRPs) are one option for assessing and managing at the ecosystem-level. ELRPs can be used as a proactive accountability mechanism to achieve ecosystem objectives and maintain the ecosystem in a preferred operating space, or as an early warning that ecosystem-level changes (e.g., tipping points) could be imminent if current biological and ecological trends in the system continue. This talk explores the development and implementation of ELRPs in fisheries management. Keywords: Reference Points, Ecosystem, Fisheries Management Bio(s): Dr. Wendy Morrison has spent the last 14 years as a fishery management analyst for NMFS's Office of Sustainable Fisheries. She has degrees in fisheries management and ecology. Her job is to develop, review and update national policies, guidance, and regulations pertaining to fishery management; and track fishery management actions across the US. Her focus has been on climate change, ecosystem based fisheries management, fisheries allocations, and catch share fisheries. Accessibility: Captions are available during the live presentation and once uploaded to the NOAA Central Library YouTube Channel automatic captions are added. Sign language interpreting services and closed captioning are available, but need to be requested at least 5 days before the event.

Various non-point pollution sources, such as solid waste, sewage, and animal feeding operations, have been documented in the vicinity of the Pala. Natural tracers radium (Ra) and radon (Rn) were used to characterize spatial and temporal variability in submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) into the Pala, estimate the residence time of water in the Pala, and quantify SGD. We found that both SGD and river discharge was substantially higher in the wet season (March) compared to the dry season (August). Fluxes of nutrients (nitrate, ammonia, and phosphate) from rivers and SGD were quantified, indicating the important role of SGD to the Pala's nutrient budgets. Nitrogen isotope analysis of macroalgal tissue indicated that sewage or manure contributes to primary productivity in the Pala. Additionally, two key areas of groundwater input were identified: one with distinct springs on the western shoreline, and one with diffuse discharge through muddy tidal inlets on the northern shoreline. This study will be useful to local residents and environmental managers as it will allow for better understanding and better mitigation of pollution that threatens the ecological health of the Pala. Bio(s): Dr. Karen Knee is an associate professor of Environmental Science at American University in Washington, DC, where she also serves as department chair. She earned her Ph.D. in Geological and Environmental Sciences from Stanford University and was a Fulbright-Ecuador scholar and a postdoctoral fellow at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center before starting her current position. She has been studying submarine groundwater discharge on oceanic islands (including Hawai'i, Kaua'i, Moorea, and Saipan) and other coastal areas for almost two decades. Her other research interests include human influences on water quality in freshwater rivers and novel uses of the natural tracers radium and radon.

NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: Genomic-to-space measurements reveal global ocean nutrient stress Presenter(s): Adam Martiny, University of California - Irvine Sponsor(s): NOAA CoastWatch (STAR) Seminar Contact(s): rebecca.trinh@noaa.gov Remote Access: meet.google.com/uco-uboz-cmk (US) +1 406-838-3189 PIN: 768 242 663# Abstract: Global ocean phytoplankton growth and primary production are intimately linked to nutrient fluctuations from seasonal to millennial time scales. Rapid recycling and tight predator-prey coupling compromise the utility of nutrient or phytoplankton stocks for delineating the biogeography of global ocean nutrient stress. Here, field-measured omics biomarkers of nutritional status are coupled to a satellite remote sensing metric of cell physiology to mechanistically evaluate monthly to multi-decadal shifts in global phytoplankton nutrient stress. We observe a clear biogeography in nutrient stress aligned with variations in nutrient flux rate and distinctly elevated stress in nitrogen- compared to phosphate-limited waters. Temporal modes of stress are dominated by seasonal changes, but strong signatures of natural climate cycles are also apparent. However, a nearly ubiquitous surface ocean warming over the last twenty years is linked to a globally-consistent increase in nutrient stress. Thus, our integrated genomic and satellite remote sensing of phytoplankton physiology has uncovered a clear contemporary regulation of global ocean nutrient stress.

A key feature ofPACE is the inclusion of an advanced radiometer known as the Ocean ColorInstrument (OCI), a global mapping radiometer that combines multispectral andhyperspectral remote sensing. This presentation describes the results of thefirst few months of on-orbit OCI characterization measurements. Like its predecessors, OCIprovides two day global coverage of TOA radiances. Unlike its predecessors, OCIcovers a spectral range from 340 nm to 2260 nm. Below 900 nm, OCI provideshyperspectral radiances sampled every 2.5 nm or 1.25nm, with a bandwidth of 5nm for each channel. Wavelengths above 900 nm are measured in seven discretemultispectral bands of varying bandwidths, six of which are at similarwavelengths to those on heritage missions to support both atmospheric and oceancolor applications. Variations in the radiometric sensitivity of each OCIchannel over time are monitored by solar diffuser measurements for short terminstrument gain adjustments and independent lunar measurements for trendadjustments over long time periods. Initial results for these measurements willbe presented in this paper.The solar diffusermeasurements were used to determine the radiometric gain of the OCI spectralchannels, and the spectral registration (via Fraunhofer lines). This paper alsodiscusses how other parameters measured prelaunch (such as the linearity correction,signal to noise ratio, and response versus scan angle) were verified withon-orbit measurements. In general, the agreement of on-orbit performance withprelaunch predictions is very good. Slides, Recordings, Other Materials: Available upon request.

Preservation and protection of beach ecosystems and critical infrastructure require both evolving coastal management and advanced engineering designs. Traditional coastal engineering uses hard infrastructure such as seawalls and revetments to protect backshores. Nature-based features such as living shorelines and dune habitats present an attractive hardscape alternative. There is a paucity of information regarding their construction, design and efficacy, particularly in coastal California; therefore, testing and development of dune erosion models is crucial. Here, observations and modeling of the initial application of a suite of coastal storm erosion models, including XBeach, on two southern California dune structures are presented. Ongoing work includes the development of a long (decadal to centennial) time scale dune model adapted into the USGS Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS). The model will then be applied to beach sites within the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary to quantify the potential benefits of engineering-with-nature techniques (e.g., dunes or beach nourishments). Bio(s): Maria Winters, Ph.D., is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher and NOAA Affiliate to the Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries. Her research entails adapting the USGS Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) to quantify the potential protective benefits of nature-based solutions at sites in the North-central California region. Maria received her Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering from UC San Diego, and her Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from UCLA.Wendy Kordesch, Ph.D., is the Geological Oceanographer for Greater Farallones Association and NOAA affiliate to Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries. Her work aims to improve coastal ecosystem resilience by promoting the use of nature-based solutions to coastal issues through collaboration and research-informed management. She holds a PhD from the National Oceanography Centre in the United Kingdom and an MS and BS from University of California Santa Cruz.

Despite scientific advancements, these uncertainties are often neglected in remote sensing studies, leading to misinterpretations and missed opportunities for innovation. This seminar recaps key findings from our recent paper, "Dive Into the Unknown: Embracing Uncertainty to Advance Aquatic Remote Sensing," and explores the sources of uncertainty in aquatic remote sensing, their theoretical background, and practical applications. We will provide examples in validation, model improvement, and decision-making. By embracing uncertainty, we aim to enhance the accuracy and reliability of remote sensing products, drive scientific progress, and support informed decision-making. Join us to discover why integrating uncertainty should be central to aquatic remote sensing efforts, leading to scientific advancement and more reliable Earth observation products.

For your awareness, this webinar will be recorded and shared. Abstract: Our speakers will share an overview of the end-to-end use of data gathered by "hurricane hunter" aircraft reconnaissance missions. These missions, which have helped improve forecasts of tropical cyclones that threaten the United States for about four decades, are conducted by the United States Air Force reserve 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron and as part of NOAA's Hurricane Field Program (HFP). Flights by both the Air Force and NOAA provide real-time observations for situational awareness at the National Hurricane Center, and the same observations are also ingested by numerical models that predict tropical cyclones. Further, the NOAA HFP also improves our understanding and prediction of tropical cyclones by collecting observations that aid in the improvement of current operational hurricane models. Finally, NOAA's Hurricane and Ocean Testbed also incorporates operational and experimental reconnaissance datasets to test and evaluate next-generation tropical cyclone monitoring and prediction capabilities. Bio(s): Jason Sippel's research focuses on improving operational hurricane forecasts through better using the data gathered by the hurricane hunter reconnaissance aircraft. This covers a wide variety of topics, ranging from improving how the aircraft are used to helping develop more advanced techniques to ingest reconnaissance data into NOAA's operational hurricane models. Jason also co-leads the Hurricane and Ocean Testbed at the National Hurricane Center (NHC), which focuses in part on improving the use and understanding of reconnaissance observations so that NHC can better assess tropical cyclone intensity and structure in real time. Finally, Jason is the Science Director for the 2024 NOAA Hurricane Field Program. Wallace Hogsett is the Science and Operations Officer (SOO) at the National Hurricane Center (NHC). In this role, he serves as Co-Director of the Hurricane and Ocean Testbed (HOT), which aims to transition new research innovations into operations. Such innovations broadly include observations, models, software and risk communication methodologies. After receiving his PhD, Wallace began his career at the National Hurricane Center in 2010, and after nearly a decade addressing weather-related business challenges in the private sector, he returned to NHC as the SOO in 2021.

Title: Life Lessons from a New eDNA Laboratory
Part of the NOAA Omics Seminar Series
Presenter(s): Nicole Housley, Microbiologist, Azura Consulting LLC-National Seafood Inspection Laboratory, NOAA
Sponsor(s): NOAA Omics
Seminar Contact(s): Nicole Miller, NOAA 'Omics Portfolio Specialist, noaa.omics@noaa.gov
Remote Access: Register Here
Abstract: In response to the new NOAA Omics Strategy that was released in February of 2020 NOAA laboratories are now venturing into new omics-based analyses. Specifically, focus is shifting to eDNA analyses that will be essential to increasing sampling efficiency, ecosystem assessments, and decreasing environmental impacts. However, it can be overwhelming trying to determine where or how to start, especially if this is a new technique to the laboratory. Recently, the National Seafood Inspection Laboratory embarked on a pilot project to learn how to do all things related to eDNA. Through gel images and sequencing analyses this poster will discuss the approach taken, why certain decisions were made, and which choices ultimately led to the success of the pilot project.
Bio(s): Nicole Housley graduated in 2004 from the University of Mississippi with a B.A. in Biochemistry with a minor in Biology. Nicole worked for 16 years at the University of South Alabama performing microbiology research before moving to the National Seafood Inspection Laboratory to become the contractor Microbiologist performing analyses on animal by-products for the Seafood Inspection Program.
