USM SOSE Honors Student Studying Effects of Oxygen, pH in Seed Oyster Growth
SUMMARY: Karina Ledezma, a senior at The University of Southern Mississippi, conducted research on the growth patterns of seed oysters exposed to low oxygen and pH levels in the Mississippi Sound for her honors thesis. Her project was supported by the School of Ocean Science and Engineering and involved studying the effects of ocean acidification on oysters. Ledezma worked with her advisor, Dr. Kim De Mutsert, and graduate student Abiola Obafemi to study the survival and growth of oysters in different water conditions. Her research led to the discovery that oyster shells dissolve in low oxygen conditions, affecting their condition index. Ledezma plans to continue her research in marine science after graduation.

SUMMARY: The old frontal boundary is stalled near the coast, with storms expected to fire along it later in the day. The heaviest rainfall is predicted along a line from Austin to DeRidder, up to McComb and near Hattiesburg over the next few days. Severe storms are more likely to form north of this boundary, with large hail possible. The area will be unstable before midnight, with conditions conducive for severe storms. Multiple storm systems are expected on Friday, bringing heavy rainfall and the potential for severe weather. By the weekend, the threat of heavy rain and severe storms will diminish as the surface low and upper weakness move east.

Investigation continues into 4 electrical blackouts on ship that caused Baltimore bridge collapse
SUMMARY: The container ship Dali experienced electrical blackouts before leaving Baltimore's port, which were different from the power outages that led to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, killing six workers. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incidents, with the ship losing power and crashing into the bridge. Initial findings suggest that maintenance issues and changes to the ship's electrical configuration may have played a role in the accidents. The FBI has also launched a criminal investigation. The ship is expected to be refloated and guided back to the Port of Baltimore.
