2014 Chesapeake Bay Sav Coverage, Sav Data Administrator, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science
2014 Chesapeake Bay Sav Coverage, Sav Data Administrator, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science
Data
Abstract: The 2014 Chesapeake Bay SAV Coverage was mapped from 1:24,000 black and white aerial photography and digital multispectral imagery with a 25cm GSD to assess water quality in the Bay. Each area of SAV was interpreted from the rectified photography and classified into one of four density classes by the percentage of cover. The SAV beds were entered into an SDE GIS fetaure class using the quality control procedures documented below. The dataset contains all SAV areas that were identified from the areas flown. Some areas that are presumed to contain no SAV were not flown. Some small beds, …

Controls On Suspended Particle Properties And Water Clarity Along A Partially-Mixed Estuary, York River, Virginia, Usa, K. A. Fall, C. T. Friedrichs, G. M. Cartwright, D. G. Bowers
Presentations
The Chesapeake Bay and its associated tidal tributaries, which together form one of the United States’ largest and most important estuaries, are among the many coastal systems where degraded water clarity is a major concern. Despite long-term decreases in sediment input, water clarity over the last 20 years has continued to deteriorate in the Bay and its tributaries (Williams et al., 2010). Analysis of long-term monitoring data (Wang et al., 2010) found that the concentration of total suspended solids (TSS), the regulatory indicator of ‘suspended sediment pollution’, is about as likely to be positively or negatively correlated to sediment loads …

Controls On Bed Erodibility In A Muddy, Partially-Mixed Estuary: York River, Virginia, Usa, Carl T. Friedrichs, Grace M. Cartwright, Patrick J. Dickhut, Kelsey A. Fall
Presentations
Appropriate parameterization of time-dependent erodibility of muddy seabeds is a significant barrier to improved understanding and accurate modelling of sediment dynamics in estuaries and other coastal regions. In an effort to better understand controls on muddy seabed erodibility, bed erodibility and associated bed sediment properties have been measured by our group on cores collected on dozens of cruises over the last decade in the York Estuary (e.g., Dickhudt et al., 2009, 2011; Kraatz, 2013). We have also inferred time-varying erodibility indirectly in the York Estuary over several years by vertically integrating observations of tidally-varying suspended sediment concentration (e.g. Friedrichs et …
Tidal Flat Morphodynamics: A Synthesis, Carl T. Friedrichs
Tidal Flat Morphodynamics: A Synthesis, Carl T. Friedrichs
Presentations
Tidal flats commonly occur along coasts where the tidal range is large relative to typical wave height. They can be found where hydrodynamic energy is high or low, where sediments are sandy or muddy, and where shorelines are prograding, retreating, or stable. The study of the morphology and evolution of tidal flats is particularly well suited in the context of morphodynamics since characteristics such as profile shape, bed slope, and grain size clearly and systematically vary as a function of sediment supply and wave and tidal forcing, and the nature of wave- and tide-induced velocities across tidal flats is, in …
Simulating And Animating The Spatial Dynamics Of Interacting Species Living On A Torus, Boyan Kostadinov
Simulating And Animating The Spatial Dynamics Of Interacting Species Living On A Torus, Boyan Kostadinov
Publications and Research
The goal of this talk is to present a student research project in computational population biology, which aims at creating a computer simulation and animation of the spatial dynamics of interactions between two kinds of species living on a torus-shaped universe. The habitat for spatial interactions is modeled by a 2D lattice with periodic boundary conditions, which wrap the rectangular grid into a torus. The spatial interactions between the species have two components: 1. Population dynamics modeled by the classical Nicholson-Bailey two-parameter family of models for coupled interactions between species, extended to incorporate space and 2. Two-parameter migration dynamics, modeled …

Geosciences Faculty Publications
The study of deeply exhumed ancient collisional belts offers important constraints on geologic processes and properties complementary to inaccessible portions of the crustal column in active orogens. The ca. 1.8−1.7 Ga Big Sky orogeny in southwest Montana is a major convergent belt associated with the Proterozoic amalgamation of Laurentia. New structural, petrologic, and geochronologic data from the Northern Madison Range, crossing the NE-SW trend of the belt, record key information about the internal dynamics of the orogen. At least two phases of Big Sky−related deformation are preserved, both nearly coeval with peak metamorphic conditions of ∼0.9−0.8 GPa and >700 °C. …

Dump It Out! An Enquiry Into Consumers’ Everyday Fashion Discourses Through Handbag, Magnum Man Lok Lam, Elita Yee Nee Lam, Wing-Sun Liu
Faculty of Design & Environment (THEi)
Handbag is an iconic fashion accessory in our material culture. Following the tradition of representational thinking, this article introduces the handbag as an epistemic consumption object through which to investigate consumer experiences, practices and identity construction in relation to everyday lived discourses. The handbag research involves an examination of participants’ personal belongings inside their bags together with phenomenological interviews concerning the associated subjective experiences along with these material objects. We demonstrate how these material possessions become the subject of the research that facilitates multiple conversations between researchers and participants as to introspect, evaluate and interpret the significance of symbolic consumption …

Faculty and Research Publications
Abstract• Introduction• Results• Discussion• Methods• Additional Information• References• Acknowledgements• Author information• Supplementary information Voltage-gated proton channels, HV1, trigger bioluminescence in dinoflagellates, enable calcification in coccolithophores, and play multifarious roles in human health. Because the proton concentration is minuscule, exquisite selectivity for protons over other ions is critical to HV1 function. The selectivity of the open HV1 channel requires an aspartate near an arginine in the selectivity filter (SF), a narrow region that dictates proton selectivity, but the mechanism of proton selectivity is unknown. Here we use a reduced quantum model to elucidate how the Asp–Arg SF selects protons but excludes …

Linking Hematite (Uth)/He Dating With The Microtextural Record Of Seismicity In The Wasatch Fault Damagezone, Utah, Usa, Alexis K. Ault, Peter W. Reiners, James P. Evans, Stuart N. Thomson
Geosciences Faculty Publications
Techniques directly dating fault slip are few, limiting the ability to interpret the rock record of seismicity. Hematite is commonly found in fault zones, amenable to (U-Th)/He dating, and slip surface hematite may be reset by shear heating events and/or recrystallization. Glossy hematite-coated fault surfaces in the Wasatch fault footwall damage zone, Utah (USA), exhibit evidence of hematite cataclasis and preserve Pliocene hematite (U-Th)/He dates. Apatite (U-Th)/He and fission track data from the host gneiss indicate footwall unroofing through ∼2 km by ca. 4.5 Ma. Internally reproducible but disparate hematite (U-Th)/He dates 4.5 Ma and younger from isolated locations on …

Non-Isomorphic Real Simple Lie Algebras Of The Same Complex Type And Character, Ian M. Anderson
Non-Isomorphic Real Simple Lie Algebras Of The Same Complex Type And Character, Ian M. Anderson
Tutorials on... in 1 hour or less
Complex simple Lie algebras are classified by their root types. The type of a real simple Lie algebra is the root type of the associated complex algebra. The character of a real simple Lie algebra is the signature of its Killing form.
For many root types, the character is sufficient to uniquely classify the corresponding real Lie algebras. However, one should not take this statement to be literally true – there are a few cases where the character does not suffice to distinguish all possible real forms.
In this worksheet we will show that the 2 real non-isomorphic Lie algebras …

Math and Statistics Datasets
We derive formulas and algorithms for Kitaev's invariants in the periodic table for topological insulators and superconductors for finite disordered systems on lattices with boundaries. We find that K-theory arises as an obstruction to perturbing approximately compatible observables into compatible observables. We derive formulas in all symmetry classes up to dimension two, and in one symmetry class in dimension three, that can be computed with sparse matrix algorithms. We present algorithms in two symmetry classes in 2D and one in 3D and provide illustrative studies regarding how these algorithms can detect the scaling properties of phase transitions.

Let p_b(n) be the number of integer partitions of n whose parts are powers of b. For each m there is a generating function identity:
f_m(b,q)\sum_{n} p_b(n) q^n = (1-q)^m \sum_{n} p_b(b^m n q)q^n
where n ranges over all integer values. The proof of this identity appears in the doctoral thesis of the author. For more information see http://dakota.tensen.net/2015/rp/.

Gis Data: Northampton County, Virginia Shoreline Management Model, Marcia Berman, Harry Berquist, Sharon Killeen, Carl Hershner, Karinna Nunez, Karen Reay, Tamia Rudnicky, Daniel E. Schatt
Data
The Shoreline Management Model is a GIS spatial model that determines appropriate shoreline best management practices using available spatial data and decision tree logic. Available shoreline conditions used in the model include the presence or absence of tidal marshes, beaches, and forested riparian buffers, bank vegetation cover, bank height, wave exposure (fetch), nearshore water depth, and proximity of coastal development to the shoreline. The model output for shoreline best management practices is displayed in the locality Comprehensive Map Viewer. One GIS shapefile is developed that describes two arcs or lines representing practices in the upland area and practices at the …
