| Notes | Interest in carbon sequestration has risen as concern about climate change has increased. “Blue carbon” refers to carbon captured by the oceans and intertidal areas adjoining the oceans. It is necessary to understand the dynamics of blue carbon storage in order to understand the world’s carbon budget. In this Honors Bachelor of Science thesis, the author examines the relationship between soil texture and carbon storage at multiple West Coast sites. The advisor was J. Boone Kauffman. |
