Island-ocean connections: This project examines the importance of island-ocean linkages and how disturbances like invasive species could have impacts not only in the terrestrial ecosystems but also in adjacent marine ecosystems. The work here examines key characteristics that strength land-sea linkage: precipitation, vegetation, soil hydrology, oceanographic productivity and wave energy. Publication: Sandin, S.
