Quantitative Soundscape Analysis To Understand Multidimensional Features, Dylan Charles Wilford, Jennifer L. Miksis-Olds, S. Bruce Martin, Daniel R. Howard, Kim Lowell, Anthony P. Lyons, Michael James Smith Aug 2021

Quantitative Soundscape Analysis To Understand Multidimensional Features, Dylan Charles Wilford, Jennifer L. Miksis-Olds, S. Bruce Martin, Daniel R. Howard, Kim Lowell, Anthony P. Lyons, Michael James Smith

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

A methodology for the analysis of soundscapes was developed in an attempt to facilitate efficient and accurate soundscape comparisons across time and space. The methodology consists of a collection of traditional soundscape metrics, statistical measures, and acoustic indices that were selected to quantify several salient properties of marine soundscapes: amplitude, impulsiveness, periodicity, and uniformity. The metrics were calculated over approximately 30 h of semi-continuous passive acoustic data gathered in seven unique acoustic environments. The resultant metric values were compared to a priori descriptions and cross-examined statistically to determine which combination most effectively captured the characteristics of the representative soundscapes. The …

The Next Wave Of Passive Acoustic Data Management: How Centralized Access Can Enhance Science, Carrie C. Wall, Samara M. Haver, Leila T. Hatch, Jennifer L. Miksis-Olds, Rob Bochenek, Robert P. Dziak, Jason Gedamke

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Passive acoustic data collection has grown exponentially over the past decade resulting in petabytes of data that document our ocean soundscapes. This effort has resulted in two big data challenges: (1) the curation, management, and global dissemination of passive acoustic datasets and (2) efficiently extracting critical information and comparing it to other datasets in the context of ecosystem-based research and management. To address the former, the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information recently established an archive for passive acoustic data. This fast-growing archive currently contains over 100 TB of passive acoustic audio files mainly collected from stationary recorders throughout waters …

This study focuses on the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and leadership. The main study is related to how EI influences leadership in both positive and negative ways. The study explores the definition of EI, and how EI influences leadership behaviors which includes how the four factors of EI affect Katz’ Three Skills. The study also discusses how EI affects leadership behaviors and outcomes positively and negatively. EI plays an important role in leadership, and the study explains that EI significantly facilitates leaders to be effective leaders if they are able to balance both positive and negative influences of EI. …


Short-Term Effects Of Thin-Layer Sand Placement On Salt Marsh Grasses: A Marsh Organ Field Experiment, Andrew R. Payne, David M. Burdick, Gregg E. Moore, Cathleen Wigand Jul 2021

Short-Term Effects Of Thin-Layer Sand Placement On Salt Marsh Grasses: A Marsh Organ Field Experiment, Andrew R. Payne, David M. Burdick, Gregg E. Moore, Cathleen Wigand

Jackson Estuarine Laboratory

Salt marshes can build in elevation with sea-level rise through accumulation of inorganic sediment and organic matter, but marshes worldwide are under threat of drowning due to rapid rates of sea-level rise that outpace natural marsh building rates. The application of a thin layer of sediment to the marsh surface (thin-layer placement [TLP]) is a tool to build elevation and decrease flooding stress, but its effects on marsh plants are understudied, especially in New England. In a novel application of a marsh organ experiment (i.e. rows of pots at different elevations), the addition of 10 cm of sand to pots …

Elite Cues And The Rapid Decline Of Trust In Science Agencies On Covid-19, Lawrence C. Hamilton, Thomas G. Safford Jun 2021

Elite Cues And The Rapid Decline Of Trust In Science Agencies On Covid-19, Lawrence C. Hamilton, Thomas G. Safford

Faculty Publications

The COVID-19 pandemic has been marked by political divisions in US public trust of scientists. Such divisions are well known on other science topics, but regarding COVID-19 they arose suddenly, with disastrous results. Public distrust of scientists has been variously explained in terms of conflicts with belief systems, psychology, peer influences, or communication from elites. Three surveys conducted from March to July 2020 in the US state of New Hampshire observed changing perceptions on COVID-19, providing a test of alternative explanations. Over this period trust in science agencies such as the CDC for information on the coronavirus fell dramatically among …

Effects Of Timber Harvest On Epigeous Fungal Fruiting Patterns And Community Structure In A Northern Hardwood Ecosystem, Benjamin W. Borgmann-Winter, Ryan B. Stephens, Anthony W. D'Amato, Serita D. Frey, Rebecca J. Rowe

Faculty Publications

Epigeous fungal fruiting has important impacts on fungal reproduction and ecosystem function. Forest disturbances, such as timber harvest, impact moisture, host availability, and substrate availability, which in turn may drive changes in fungal fruiting patterns and community structure. We surveyed mushrooms in 0.4 ha patch cuts (18 months post-harvest) and adjacent intact hardwood forest in northern New Hampshire, USA, to document the effects of timber harvest on summer fruiting richness, biomass, diversity, and community structure of ectomycorrhizal, parasitic, and saprobic mushroom taxa. Fungal fruiting richness, diversity, and community heterogeneity were greater in intact forests than patch cuts. Among functional groups, …

Infant Mortality And Race In The United States, Katherine Legier May 2021

Infant Mortality And Race In The United States, Katherine Legier

Perspectives

Infant mortality is globally recognized as an indicator for overall health in a population. The United States spends the most money per capita on health expenditures, a total of 17.1% of the budget in 2016 (cia.gov). Despite this, the United States’ ranking for infant mortality is 174th (cia.gov). Moreover, rates of infant mortality are not experienced equally across racial groups. The rate of infant mortality for African Americans in the United States is compounded. African American infants are more than 2 times as likely to die before their first birthday than non-Hispanic white infants (West and Bartkowski 2019:1). The purpose …


The “American Dream” In Black And White Populations: A Perceptions Versus Reality Analysis, Emma Watts May 2021

The “American Dream” In Black And White Populations: A Perceptions Versus Reality Analysis, Emma Watts

Perspectives

Do White and Black Americans equally believe in the American Dream? Does the American Dream offer hope for Black Americans to hold on to, or has racial oppression made the dream feel out of reach? Since such ideas, like the promise of social mobility offered by freedom, motivate and inform economic, social, and political beliefs, understanding how such narratives function is of critical need. In this study, I used the 2012 Outlook on Life Survey (N=2,294) to analyze the differences in attitudes about the American Dream between Black and White populations in the United States. I analyzed data about how …

Variability Of Usa East Coast Surface Total Alkalinity Distributions Revealed By Automated Instrument Measurements, Christopher W. Hunt, Joseph Salisbury, Douglas Vandemark, Steffen Aßmann, Christopher Melrose, Rik Wanninkhof, Kumiko Azetsu-Scott May 2021

Variability Of Usa East Coast Surface Total Alkalinity Distributions Revealed By Automated Instrument Measurements, Christopher W. Hunt, Joseph Salisbury, Douglas Vandemark, Steffen Aßmann, Christopher Melrose, Rik Wanninkhof, Kumiko Azetsu-Scott

Faculty Publications

Seawater total alkalinity (TA) is one important determinant used to monitor the ocean carbon cycle, whose spatial distributions have previously been characterized along the United States East Coast via discrete bottle samples. Using these data, several regional models for TA retrievals based on practical salinity (S) have been developed. Broad-scale seasonal or interannual variations, however, are not well resolved in these models and existing data are highly seasonally biased. This study reports findings from the first long duration deployment of a new, commercially available TA titrator aboard a research vessel and the continuous underway surface TA measurements produced. The …
