Coastal Protections: Rocky Intertidal Enforcement

, 2012
A capstone presented on the enforcement and access to rocky intertidal coastal systems. This report covers the access limitations, regulations, and enforcement of preserved and open access areas and takes an observational assessment of the health of these environments.

Microbial mats and thalassinid shrimp: Spatial and geochemical interactions in a modern intertidal environment

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 1001-1029, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This research examines the spatial and geochemical interactions between mat‐forming microorganisms and thalassinid shrimp in an intertidal flat situated on the shores of Willapa Bay, Washington, USA. The study serves as a contemporary analog for the relationships between mats and burrowing organisms in deep time.

MISS diversity from saline lakes of Brazilian Pantanal: Origin, potential of preservation and comparison with examples of the Ediacaran‐Cambrian shallow depositional settings

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 945-964, June 2026.
ABSTRACT One of the largest wetlands on Earth, the Brazilian Pantanal contains roughly 10 000 natural lakes, about 1000 of which are hypersaline. In these environmentally stressful settings, animal life struggles to survive, while cyanobacteria form extensive mats.

A tale of two microbialites: Stromatolites and microbially induced sedimentary structures

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 849-863, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbialites are biosedimentary structures built by microbial mats. Five microbialite groups are distinguished: stromatolites, thrombolites, dendrolites, leiloites and microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS). This contribution discusses the two most abundant microbialite groups in marine settings, stromatolites and MISS.

Microbially induced sedimentary structures in fluvial settings: the gas domes from the Bolzano Megacaldera (Permian, Italy)

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 914-944, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Gas domes serve as some of the earliest and most persisting indicators of life on Earth, yet their documentation in continental environments remains sparse. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining gas domes within the Permian fluvial succession of Monte Luco, located in the caldera of the Bolzano Supervolcano. These structures occur as

Modern microbial landscape: Aerial mapping of microbially induced sedimentary structures forming in a coastal sabkha

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 1286-1306, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) are considered important for understanding primitive life on Earth and for guiding the search for life on other planets. These structures are regarded as macroscopic fossils of early communities of unicellular organisms that did not produce skeletons or shells. In this study, field observations
