MERI Using Sediment Elevation Tables (SETs) and core analyzes to estimate both recent accretion and subsidence rates in selected marsh areas of the Hackensack Meadowlands. Data collected from the SETs will be use to demonstrate potential impacts of sea-level rise on marshes within the Meadowlands. Extraction of natural bioactive molecules present on the stem of bignoniaceous vines Among the isolated fractions, we found antibacterial and antifungal substances. We are continue to isolate, identify and test other bioactive molecules. Links of interest: Email address: benzecry@fdu.edu | ||
