Redesigning Assignments To Dissuade Plagiarism In A Research Course, Monica Colon-Aguirre
Redesigning Assignments To Dissuade Plagiarism In A Research Course, Monica Colon-Aguirre
Southeast ICAI Sharing Conference
Plagiarism in its many forms has no place in higher education, more among graduate students. However, it does happen, and it is up to educators to put in place the policies and practices that help dissuade plagiarism. This presentation will focus on sharing practices enforced in a research methods course.

Crowd-Sourced Plagiarism Detection Of Essays, Zachariah Beasley
Southeast ICAI Sharing Conference
The aggregate guess of a sufficiently large and diverse group produces a precise result (the wisdom of the crowd). By applying this principle to peer review of essays or other open-ended questions, an instructor can organize their course and leverage a crowd to help identify and mitigate plagiarism.

Lessons Learned From The Pandemic, Lee Ann Clements
Southeast ICAI Sharing Conference
The incidents of academic integrity violations increased dramatically with the move to entirely online instruction in March 2020. In addition, the types of infractions shifted towards more unauthorized collaboration and cheating on tests rather than plagiarism. Student stress and lack of timely communication with faculty during a testing situation seemed to be the drivers of the collaboration behaviors. Strategies will be discussed for preventing this problem as we remain in hybrid or online teaching with traditional students.

Plenary: Developing Critical & Creative Thinking With Project-Based Learning: A High-Risk Endeavor?, Paula Quinn
Critical & Creative Thinking Conference
To work in meaningful and useful ways, our students need to think critically and creatively. Without thinking critically, our students risk operating without integrity and without validity. Without thinking creatively, our students risk losing opportunities for emergence, innovation, and delight. If we do not teach our students how to think critically and creatively, we fail them as individual learners, and we risk weakening society in significant ways. Using the pedagogy of project-based learning and a little effort, though, we can create experiences that challenge students to become better critical and creative thinkers. And they will learn in ways, too, that …

Characterizing Near-Surface Karst System Under Three Stormwater Retention Basins In Silver Springs, Florida, Mohammad Shokri, Yuan Gao, Kelly M. Kibler, Dingbao Wang, Ni-Bin Chang
Sinkhole Conference 2020
Water resources in karst systems are particularly vulnerable to contamination by polluted surface water, such as stormwater runoff, due to their specific geologic and hydrogeological characteristics. Better understanding of near-surface karst systems may inform contaminant transport and protective management of karst aquifers and springs. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic (EM) geophysical data were collected in three stormwater retention basins within the Silver Springs springshed in Florida to investigate configuration of the near-surface karst system. The reported sinkhole data indicated 14 sinkhole occurrences with diameter ranging from 0.6 to 6 m in Basin 1, 11 sinkholes with diameter ranging from …
The Relationship Between Cave Temperature And Local Atmospheric Mean Temperature In Monsoonal China, Binggui Cai, Miafoa Li, Yanghong Chen, Yongli Gao
The Relationship Between Cave Temperature And Local Atmospheric Mean Temperature In Monsoonal China, Binggui Cai, Miafoa Li, Yanghong Chen, Yongli Gao
Sinkhole Conference 2020
It is widely claimed that temperature inside a deep Karst cave without significant human influence is similar to local mean atmospheric temperature. To test this assumption, we collected temperature data for caves through China from published documents. The difference between cave temperature and local annually mean temperature (ΔT) were then calculated. The results show that theΔT is larger than 2 Celsius degrees for nearly half of caves. Among these caves, ΔT is larger for caves from Northern China than those from southern China. Many of them have underground river. This indicates that underground river may be one of the influencing …

Karst Water Resource Management And Sustainable Educational Practices In Nine Yucatec Maya Communities, Khristin Nicole Landry Montes, Patricia A. Mcanany, Dylan J. Clark, Iván Batún Alpuche
Sinkhole Conference 2020
The karst landscape of Yucatán, Mexico is dotted with thousands of sinkholes that provide access to fresh water. These features, called “cenotes” in Spanish and “dz’onot” in Yucatec Maya, range from subterranean caverns with well-developed speleothems to open-air sinkholes. While there is a variety of cenote types, all are connected to the subterranean freshwater aquifer. The interconnectivity of cenotes magnifies the impact of cenote contamination. Because of their significance as water sources, cenotes were conceived by ancient Maya peoples as important portals to powerful supernatural forces and guardians of rain. Today, cenotes remain culturally important and are located near the …

The Hydrochemical Response Of Heilongtan Springs To The 2010-2012 Droughts Of Yunnan Province, Kunming, China, Hong Liu, Ruiyong Chen, Huacheng Huang, Yinghua Zhang, Yongli Gao
Sinkhole Conference 2020
Karst waters from a mountainous recharge area drains toward basin and emerges at the edge of the basin after encountering quaternary sediments. The flow paths are partly covered by Quaternary sediments or other sedimentary rocks, which makes the spring acts as an artesian spring. The spring is more vulnerable to human activities and climate change than the classic confined karst spring. Weakly confined spring is typical in faulted karst basin. Heilongtan Springs are located at the foothills of Wulao Mountains in the northern suburb of Kunming City. They consist of Qingshuitan (QST), Hun-shuitan (HST) and Xiaoshuitan (XST) springs. Spring water …

Sinkhole Investigation After Hurricane Irma, Ryan Shamet, Moataz Soliman, Yongje Kim, Timothy Copeland, Boo Hyun Nam
Sinkhole Conference 2020
In September 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall on the state of Florida. This extreme weather event produced an average of 20-40 centimeters of rainfall across the state. In the following weeks, at least 30 new sinkholes were reported throughout the affected area. An investigation of the sinkhole sites where openings occurred in the middle of a roadway, was carried-out. Multiple cone penetration tests (CPT) were performed at those collapsed sites. In this paper, a comprehensive case study of a sinkhole collapse is presented. First, a hydrogeological assessment on the sinkhole site was conducted. Second, CPT data were investigated. Particularly, a …

Pre-Glacial And Post-Glacial Sinkholes In Silurian Carbonate Rocks In The James Bay Lowland, Canada, Wanfang Zhou, Mingtang Lei, James W. Lamoreaux, Daniel S. Green
Sinkhole Conference 2020
Sinkholes developed in the Paleozoic carbonate rocks within the James Bay lowland of Canada consist of pre-glacial sinkholes and post-glacial sinkholes. Most of the pre-glacial sinkholes were identified in the Upper Silurian Attawapiskat limestone at the Process Plant site after the thin peat and unconsolidated sediment cover were removed and in the Central Quarry site where the vertical profile of the Upper Attawapiskat limestone was exposed. One unique pre-glacial sinkhole was reported in the form of a bedrock trench, which cut through most of the Paleozoic formations to a depth of approximately 200 m below land surface. The pre-glacial sinkholes …

Sinkholes Developed In Sandstone, Ira D. Sasowsky, E. Calvin Alexander Jr.
Sinkhole Conference 2020
Caves and closed depressions developed in carbonate rocks are defining features of karst terranes. With the increasing recognition that significant caves can develop in quartz (siliciclastic) sandstones, it is natural that we should start to examine their surficial counterparts, sinkholes. A review of the literature shows rather limited attention given to these features. In the glaciated region of northeast Ohio (USA) colleagues and I have examined numerous sinkholes in sandstones, with a variety of morphologies. The most commonly found type is cover subsidence sinkholes, where thin overlying regolith (usually till) has sagged into escarpment-parallel widened fractures. The most significant of …

Relationships Between Sinkhole-Related Features And Activity And Insar-Detected Subsidence Points In West Central Florida, Tonian Robinson, Christine Downs, Talib Oliver-Cabrera, Boya Zhang, Sarah Kruse, Shimon Wdowinski
Sinkhole Conference 2020
Sinkholes in west-central Florida are usually formed from the erosion of overlying soil and sediment into open fissures of dissolved limestone bedrock. They are one of the leading natural disasters in the area, and therefore, precursory detection is crucial to alleviate risks of property damage. Using the Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) method, we can detect surface subsidence in selected study areas over which InSAR scenes were captured every 22–45 days over ~two years. InSAR is an airborne remote sensing technique that uses multiple Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images to resolve elevation changes over time. Using the Persistent Scatterer Interferometry …

Sinkhole Conference 2020
Ripon is a historic city and market town in North Yorkshire. It is unique in being the only city in the UK to define planning zones based on the potential for bedrock dissolution. The underlying geology comprises marls, limestone and gypsum of the Permian Edlington, Brotherton and Roxby formations, capped by glacial deposits (till). It is the rapid rate of dissolution of the gypsum (hydrated calcium sulphate) that enables the karst to evolve on human time scales. Following the collapse that formed a sinkhole in the rear garden of a property in Magdalens Road, Ripon, UK in November 2016 the …

Gis-Based Spatial Analysis Of Sinkholes In Cebu City, Philippines: Insights On Sinkhole Genesis And Development, Regina Martha G. Lumongsod, Noelynna T. Ramos, Roseanne V. Ramos
Sinkhole Conference 2020
In 2017, at least 770 sinkholes were reported to occur in Cebu City, a populated town in the Philippines dominantly underlain by karstic formations. In this study, the genesis and development of these sinkholes were related to various geomorphologic, geologic, and hydrologic factors in order to determine their influence on sinkhole distribution in the area using GIS-based spatial analyses. Results show that the sinkhole frequency varies with respect to the relative age of the underlying karstic formation, slope, and elevation. Most sinkholes occur on younger bedrock, low slope, and low elevation areas. However, sinkholes that occur on younger bedrock are …

A Procedure For Evaluating Land Disturbances At The Site Level In Forested Karst Areas Of British Columbia, Canada, Tim Stokes
Sinkhole Conference 2020
Land disturbances in karst can result in considerable adverse ecological impacts if the nature and characteristics of karst systems and processes are not considered. This is particularly the case for the well-developed and forested karst of coastal British Columbia (BC). Industrial forestry activities in the region typically comprise of building logging roads, harvest openings (or cut blocks) and post-harvest silviculture treatments. In conjunction with the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development, an evaluation procedure has been developed to assess whether current forestry practices are adequately protecting and maintaining karst surface and subsurface system elements at …

Characterizing Transport Properties In Karst Conduits Under Different Hydrologic Conditions, Elienisse Rodríguez-Medina, Ingrid Y. Padilla, Fernando Pantoja, Kateleen Vargas, Norma I. Torres
Sinkhole Conference 2020
Karst terrains contain very productive aquifers. The hydraulic and hydrogeological characteristics of karst aquifers make these systems capable of storing and transporting large amounts of water, but also highly vulnerable to contamination. Their extremely heterogeneous nature prevents accurate prediction of contaminant fate and transport. Even more challenging is to understand the impact of hydrologic condition changes on fate and transport processes. This study aims at characterizing changes in transport processes in the karst groundwater system of northern Puerto Rico under different hydrologic conditions. The study involves injecting rhodamine wt and uranine tracers into a spring cave, and monitoring concentrations at …

Investigation Of Water Quality And Groundwater Flow In A Karst Watershed In Blanco County, Texas, Robert Salinas, Yongli Gao, Lijun Tian, Yunxia Li, Scott Gardner
Sinkhole Conference 2020
In any natural system, environmental and geomorphic responses are more extreme and frequent when caused or affected by human activities. Karst aquifers differ from other aquifer types in that they are composed of complex matrix, fracture, and conduit porosities. As valuable resources for societies and ecosystems, karst aquifers are highly vulnerable to pollution and must be well studied for proper protection.This study combines ongoing monitoring data with hydrochemistry data from sampling sites within the Honeycut Hollow Creek Watershed, Blanco County, Texas. Flow measurements revealed that the discharge of Honeycut Creek Spring does not respond to local precipitation. The wettest September …

Using Soil Moisture Observations To Characterize Groundwater Recharge Processes At Five Contrasting Climate Regions, Romane Berthelin, Mirjam Scheller, Justine Berg, Andreas Hartmann
Sinkhole Conference 2020
Karst groundwater constitutes a considerable fraction of drinking water in many regions in the world. Understanding its recharge processes is important for a sustainable water resource management. Experimental approaches to study karst aquifers mostly focus on the characterization of the entire aquifer using the disintegration of its output signal measured at the spring. Despite the important role of the soil and epikarst for recharge processes, limited attention has been given to this specific part of the systems. In our study, we present the first results of a soil monitoring program at five representative locations across the globe. We use a …
