North Carolina Sea Grant<\/a> and the Albemarle-Pamlico National Estuary Partnership<\/a> have selected Mollie Yacano as recipient of the programs\u2019 2018 joint fellowship.<\/p>\n

Mollie Yacano<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cThis partnership allows students to have hands-on research experience with local estuaries,\u201d says John Fear, deputy director of North Carolina Sea Grant and the Water Resources Research Institute of the University of North Carolina system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The competitive fellowship, now in its third year, requires graduate students whose institutions are based in either North Carolina or Virginia to conduct applied research within the North Carolina portion of the APNEP region.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs. Yacano\u2019s research has relevance to multiple strategic priorities and goals of our partnership. Thus, we hold great anticipation for a successful project that will have widespread science and policy benefits,\u201d explains APNEP program scientist, Dean Carpenter.<\/p>\n

Yacano is a doctoral student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\u2019s Institute of Marine Sciences<\/a>. Her advisor is Michael Piehler.<\/p>\n

She will look at how nitrogen is processed in sediments associated with the invasive genotype of\u00a0Phragmites australis<\/em>, also known as common reed. She will compare it with the native genotype of P. australis <\/em>as well as other dominant native marsh grasses. Marshes are known to act as buffer zones for excess man-made nitrogen, and often are considered the last line of defense before this nitrogen makes its way into adjacent estuarine waters and eventually the open ocean.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstanding how invasive species, such as\u00a0P. australis,\u00a0<\/em>change\u00a0marsh ecosystem functions is vital in order to maintain and protect ecosystems on both local and global scales,\u201d Yacano notes.<\/p>\n

She is originally from Richmond, Virginia, and completed her bachelor\u2019s degree in marine science at Boston University. During her undergraduate career, Yacano worked on fisheries and environmental archaeology. She also has participated in numerous educational outreach efforts relating to scientific fields in the Boston area.<\/p>\n

North Carolina Sea Grant is a federal\/state partnership, with funding through National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration<\/a> in the U.S. Department of Commerce. Learn more at ncseagrant.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
