  1. Pacific High Island Evolutionary Biogeography:Impacts of Invasive Species, Anthropogenic Activityand Climate Change on Hawaiian Focal SpeciesENDER: Environmental Dynamics and Ecosystem Responses The mission of EPSCoR is to strengthen research and education in science and engineering throughout the United States

  2. EPSCoR Project: Track 1 Primary Focus: To Enhance the Sustainability of Science and Technology Capabilities in Hawai‘i • Capacity Building • Research Program – Human and Environmental Effect on Biodiversity, Ecosystem Function, and Human Uses • Education Program – Training through experience; working with professionals • Diversity & Workforce Development • Outreach & Communication Plan

  3. Project Integration Environmental Dynamics and Ecosystem Response Genetic and Metabolic Response to Environmental Change ENDER ECOGEM DEW CYBER Cyberinfrastructure Development And Training Education and Work Force Development Collaborations with Federal & State Agencies; International & National Institutes Developing Research Infrastructure in Hawai‘i to Improve our Science and Technology Education and Opportunities

  4. Environmental Dynamics and Ecosystem Responses (ENDER) Overarching Themes: Climate Change, Invasive Species, and Anthropogenic Influences

  5. Research Resources Unique to Hawai‘i 28.3 mya 21.1 20.2 13.3 7.5 5.25 1-1.75 0-0.6 mya

  6. ENDER Agenda : CLIMATE Climate Change and Ecosystem Response in Hawai‘i: Building capacity for research and education through a cyberenabled climate-ecosystem

  7. ENDER Agenda : TERRESTRIAL Natural, anthropogenic and invasive species controls on biogeochemical evolution of terrestrial groundwaters and ecosystems ANCHIALINE POOL STUDIES KIAWE STUDIES GROUNDWATER FLOW PATH MODELING SAMPLING GROUNDWATERS

  8. ENDER Agenda : MARINE Marine ecosystem response to environmental variation, such as climate change (atmospheric-oceanic) and submarine groundwater discharge Hawai‘i Island Kīholo Plot Kīholo Bay Kaloko Plot

  9. Land to Sea Linkages Streams and Groundwater Estuary Coastal marine

  10. Research Sites in KiholoAhupua‘a The PuuWaawaaand Kiholo Research sites

  11. ENDER Agenda: MARINE Water characteristics at two marine plots demonstrating influence of groundwater discharge Kaloko Plot Radon platform in Kīholo Salinity (ppt) Nitrate (µmol/L) Elevated radon and nitrate and low salinity indicate groundwater discharge
