Interferometric Swath Processing Of Cryosat Data For Glacial Ice Topography, L. Gray, D. Burgess, L. Copland, R. Cullen, N. Galin, R. Hawley, V. Helm Dec 2013

Interferometric Swath Processing Of Cryosat Data For Glacial Ice Topography, L. Gray, D. Burgess, L. Copland, R. Cullen, N. Galin, R. Hawley, V. Helm

Dartmouth Scholarship

We have derived digital elevation models (DEMs) over the western part of the Devon Ice Cap in Nunavut, Canada, using "swath processing" of interferometric data collected by Cryosat between February 2011 and January 2012. With the standard ESA (European Space Agency) SARIn (synthetic aperture radar interferometry) level 2 (L2) data product, the interferometric mode is used to map the cross-track position and elevation of the "point-of-closest-approach" (POCA) in sloping glacial terrain. However, in this work we explore the extent to which the phase of the returns in the intermediate L1b product can also be used to map the heights of …

Breaking In My Anthropological Shoes: Reflections On My First Days Of Fieldwork, Casiana I. Pascariu Dec 2013

Breaking In My Anthropological Shoes: Reflections On My First Days Of Fieldwork, Casiana I. Pascariu

Journal of Contemporary Anthropology

This paper explores the first day of ethnographic fieldwork conducted by an M.A. student. Starting in a non-Roma community, and trying to reach the Roma, I describe the difficulty of conducting fieldwork for the first time. I discuss the day I introduced myself to the community, the awkward and unnatural behavior of teachers toward my future informants, and the confusion and shyness of the Roma students felt in my presence. 


Language Ideologies And Orthographies: Developing A Writing System For Than Ówîngeh, Evan Ashworth Dec 2013

Language Ideologies And Orthographies: Developing A Writing System For Than Ówîngeh, Evan Ashworth

Linguistics ETDs

The use of writing to represent the heritage language represents a contentious issue for many members of Puebloan societies in the American Southwest. Many community members resist the use of writing for this purpose on the grounds that it acts as a form of colonialism, while others accept the use of writing in the heritage language because it is seen as valorizing the heritage language itself. This study seeks to address three research questions: 1) What factors motivate either a resistance to or acceptance of the use of writing to represent a heritage language? 2) If the use of writing …


The Anthropology Of Educational Persistence: What Can We Learn From Anthropology To Improve Educational Opportunities And Outcomes For Underserved Students?, Teresa Mccarty, Bryan Mckinley Jones Brayboy, Amanda Datnow, Edmund T.

The Anthropology Of Educational Persistence: What Can We Learn From Anthropology To Improve Educational Opportunities And Outcomes For Underserved Students?, Teresa Mccarty, Bryan Mckinley Jones Brayboy, Amanda Datnow, Edmund T. Hamann, The Anthropology Of Educational Persistence Thought Collective

Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications

In the context of shifting demographics in which more than 50% of the U.S. student population now belongs to a group that formerly would have been classified as “minority,” this report provides evidence from anthropological research on the factors that promote or impede educational persistence, particularly among underserved groups who now constitute the “new majority.” Based on a thorough review of the literature, we offer five principles to guide future research, policy, and practice and offer illustrative examples of each principle. A key insight is that failure is not inevitable for historically underserved groups and that, given that, we must …

Public Perceptions On Family Planning And Birth Spacing In The Cultural And Religious Context Of Senegal: A Case Study In Dakar, Senegal, Heidi Kahle Oct 2013

Public Perceptions On Family Planning And Birth Spacing In The Cultural And Religious Context Of Senegal: A Case Study In Dakar, Senegal, Heidi Kahle

Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection

Much prior research has examined the prevalence rates of family planning and contraceptive use in Senegal, as well as the importance of family planning for reducing maternal and infant mortality, improving the well being of families, and improving the national economy. Few studies, though, have captured the perspectives of Senegalese persons and their attitudes and beliefs toward family planning, rumors and stigmas that surround it, and how different actors can work together to dispel rumors and encourage the use of family planning. I conducted my research in Dakar, Senegal, where I interviewed a variety of persons – two gynecologists, a …

Incomplete Reflections: Addressing Potential Bias In Digital Curation, Rachael Hulvey Jul 2013

Incomplete Reflections: Addressing Potential Bias In Digital Curation, Rachael Hulvey

UROP Posters

Digital scanning technology offers many benefits to archaeology and curation in its ability to preserve virtual representations of artifacts in databases without harming the object. However, various selective pressures may limit which artifacts are digitally curated. The material of an artifact or details on an object’s surface may prevent it from scanning properly. Scans which inaccurately portray the surface detail of an artifact may be ignored by those who edit and process the files in favor of a more attractive scan. Scanning efforts designed for public outreach may favor certain artifacts over others. These selective pressures may produce unintentional bias …

Qualitative Data Archiving In The Digital Age: Strategies For Data Preservation And Sharing, Lisa Cliggett Jun 2013

Qualitative Data Archiving In The Digital Age: Strategies For Data Preservation And Sharing, Lisa Cliggett

Anthropology Faculty Publications

Given the combination of recent mandates from funding agencies for data management plans and data sharing, and the explosion of data in digital form over the past two decades, it is time for the qualitative social science community to embrace digital archiving as an inherent component of research methodology. Archiving digital data ensures, at the least, that an individual scholar’s data is preserved and accessible to the user many decades into his or her career. Digital archiving also has the potential to preserve for the broader scholarly community, the full range of social science knowledge far beyond an individual researcher’s …
