A Deep Scattering Layer Under The North Pole Pack Ice, Pauline Snoeijs-Leijonmalm, Harald Gjøsæter, Randi B. Ingvaldsen, Tor Knutsen, Rolf Korneliussen, Egil Ona, Hein Rune Skjoldal, Christian Stranne, Larry A. Mayer, Martin Jakobsson, Katarina Gårdfeldt

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

The 3.3 million km2 marine ecosystem around the North Pole, defined as the Central Arctic Ocean (CAO), is a blind spot on the map of the world’s fish stocks. The CAO essentially comprises the permanently ice-covered deep basins and ridges outside the continental shelves, and is only accessible by ice-breakers. Traditional trawling for assessing fish stocks is impossible under the thick pack ice, and coherent hydroacoustic surveys are unachievable due to ice-breaking noise. Consequently, nothing is known about the existence of any pelagic fish stocks in the CAO, although juveniles of Boreogadus saida richly occur at the surface associated with …

Foundational Leadership: Building Our Non-Commissioned Officers, Brandt Hudson

M.S. in Leadership

This research is a look into the leadership training model provided to Junior Enlisted Marines. It reviews the eight aspects of Leadership the Marine Corps requires its leader to know, and it expects senior leaders to teach. In a review of Marine Corps publications, books on great leaders, after-action of past battles, a survey of junior leaders, and a review into current business organizations' leadership practice. A strong argument can be made for the potential improvement to the model the Marine Corps uses.

Emotional Intelligence: The Key To Effective Leadership, Maureen Murdock

M.S. in Leadership

The purpose of this research is to highlight the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership. Emotional Intelligence is focused awareness of one’s own emotional state and of the emotional signal’s others are exhibiting in the fluid situation of an interaction. Remaining aware of the emotional state of others and oneself during a contentious exchange enables one to navigate that particular situation effectively. The highest form of interaction that people can experience is a mutual feeling of understanding and a state of mutual understanding is most rapidly reached one can remain aware of emotional intelligence dynamics. The research will analyze the …

Changes In Soil Chemistry And Foliar Metabolism Of Himalayan Cedar (Cedrus Deodara) And Himalayan Spruce (Picea Smithiana) Along An Elevational Gradient At Kufri, Hp, India: The Potential Roles Of Regional Pollution And Localized Grazing, Rakesh Minocha, Alexandra R. Contosta, Gregory B. Lawrence, Ravinder K. Kohli, Subhash C. Minocha, Stephanie Long

Faculty Publications

We investigated changes in soil chemistry and foliar metabolism of Himalayan cedar [Cedrus deodara (Roxb. Ex Lamb.) G.Don] and Himalayan spruce [Picea smithiana (Wall.) Boiss] trees along a steep elevational gradient in the lower Himalayan Mountains at Kufri, Himachal Pradesh (HP), India. The foliar and soil samples were collected from four locations along a 300 m elevational gradient at ridge, high-, mid-, and low-elevation sites within the forested Shimla Water Catchment Wildlife Sanctuary that provides water for the city of Shimla, HP,. Observations at the time of sampling revealed that the high-elevation site was being heavily grazed. Soils collected at …

A Cfar Detection Approach For Identifying Gas Bubble Seeps With Multibeam Echo Sounders, Thomas C. Weber

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

A cell-averaged constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detector is described and applied to data collected with a multibeam echo sounder (MBES). The CFAR detector is designed specifically for transient targets observed with MBES, and operates under the assumption that background noise, including volume and seafloor reverberation, is locally stationary in time. This assumption, and the CFAR detector performance in general, was examined for data collected by a 30-kHz MBES operating in the Gulf of Mexico where the targets of interest were methane gas bubble plumes rising up from the seabed. Results with example data suggest that the CFAR detector was …

Aerosol Ph Indicator And Organosulfate Detectability From Aerosol Mass Spectrometry Measurements, Melinda K. Schueneman, Benjamin A. Nault, Pedro Campuzano-Jost, Duseong S. Jo, Douglas A. Day, Jason C. Schroder, Brett B. Palm, Alma Hodzic, Jack E. Dibb, Jose L. Jimenez

Faculty Publications

Aerosol sulfate is a major component of submicron particulate matter (PM1). Sulfate can be present as inorganic (mainly ammonium sulfate, AS) or organosulfate (OS). Although OS is thought to be a smaller fraction of total sulfate in most cases, recent literature argues that this may not be the case in more polluted environments. Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometers (AMSs) measure total submicron sulfate, but it has been difficult to apportion AS vs. OS as the detected ion fragments are similar. Recently, two new methods have been proposed to quantify OS separately from AS with AMS data. We use observations collected during …

Coordination And Control – Limits In Standard Representations Of Multi-Reservoir Operations In Hydrological Modeling, Charles Rouge, Patrick M. Reed, Danielle S. Grogan, Shan Zuidema, Alexander Prusevich, Stanley Glidden, Jonathan R. Lamontagne, Richard B. Lammers

Faculty Publications

Major multi-reservoir cascades represent a primary mechanism for dealing with hydrologic variability and extremes within institutionally complex river basins worldwide. These coordinated management processes fundamentally reshape water balance dynamics. Yet, multi-reservoir coordination processes have been largely ignored in the increasingly sophisticated representations of reservoir operations within large-scale hydrological models. The aim of this paper is twofold, namely (i) to provide evidence that the common modeling practice of parameterizing each reservoir in a cascade independently from the others is a significant approximation and (ii) to demonstrate potential unintended consequences of this independence approximation when simulating the dynamics of hydrological extremes in …

Demystifying The Scholarly Publishing Landscape, Eleta Exline, Emily Poworoznek, Patricia Condon

University Library Scholarship

The scholarly publishing landscape has grown exponentially in size, scope and complexity within the last decade. Since the number and type of publishing outlets have exploded, researchers now need to consider practical and ethical issues such as predatory journals, open access, preprints, publishing data and sponsor obligations when making publication decisions. Further, these issues may be compounded by interdisciplinary research collaborations. Presenters will provide an overview of the contemporary scholarly publishing landscape and the different components. They will also help researchers identify key questions to ask during different stages of the research process, highlight differences that may bear on interdisciplinary …

Oral Exams In Shift To Remote Learning, Mihaela Sabin, Karen H. Jin, Adrienne Smith

Applied Engineering and Sciences Scholarship

In this experience report paper we present our experience with the development of oral assessments as final examinations in three introductory computing courses. The choice of this type of summative assessment was prompted by the emergency remote instruction instituted in the middle of the Spring 2020 semester, across colleges and universities in the U.S., due to the coronavirus pandemic. The principles that guided our oral assessment design were: to develop a more comprehensive measure of student competence and mitigate exam cheating; to facilitate communication and workplace skills through student-teacher interaction; and to alleviate negative emotions associated with traditional summative assessments. …

Nitrate Uptake Enhanced By Availability Of Dissolved Organic Matter In Tropical Montane Streams, Bianca M. Rodriguez-Cardona, Adam S. Wymore, William H. Mcdowell

NRESS Publications

Tropical forests store large amounts of Earth’s terrestrial C, but many tropical montane streams have low dissolved organic matter (DOM). This low availability of energy likely limits certain pathways of inorganic N uptake, as evidenced by the high rates of nitrification and predominance of nitrate (NO3−) in the total pool of dissolved N seen in many tropical montane forests. To explore the influence of DOM availability on tropical stream N cycling, we performed nutrient pulse additions of NO3− with or without an added C source (acetate or urea) in streams of the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico. In the absence …
