2:30 PM - 3:30 PM	Department of Fisheries Oceanography Seminar-Daniel Goethel Location: > See description for location Contact: > See Description for contact information Description: The School for Marine Science and Technology Department of Fisheries Oceanography Seminar Announcement "Accounting for Spatial Structure and Connectivity in Stock Assessment Models: The Good, the Bad, and Groundfish" Daniel R. Goethel Alaska Fisheries Science Center Auke Bay Laboratories NOAA-NMFS Daniel.Goethel@NOAA.gov Wednesday, March 17, 2021 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm Via Zoom Abstract Understanding population structure and biocomplexity is critical for determining a species’ resilience to environmental and anthropogenic perturbations. Technological innovations have led to a proliferation of animal tracking data, while computational and statistical advancements have spurred increasing implementation of spatially explicit integrated population and assessment models. I review the last decade of research on fisheries spatial population modeling highlighting how spatial models can improve management of natural resources by emulating complex population structure and connectivity dynamics. Potential pitfalls of spatial assessment approaches are also outlined. Focus is placed on results from a NOAA Spatial Processes and Stock Assessment Methods (SPASAM) informal working group, which has explored issues related to spatial quota allocations, movement parameterizations, tagging study designs, and the consequences associated with misaligned management and population boundaries. I conclude with two brief case studies highlighting spatial modeling efforts and implications of spatial structure for New England groundfish. ******************************************************************************** Zoom Link: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/93401753807?pwd=MHJVMkFDV3RQUFZhQS9lNEdTNWJlUT09 Meeting ID: 934 0175 3807 Passcode: 464610 Dial by your location +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 646 876 9923 US (New York) +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) Find your local number: https://umassd.zoom.us/u/ae84EIZIF ******************************************************************************* For additional information, please contact Sue Silva at s1silva@umassd.edu Topical Areas: School for Marine Sciences and Technology, SMAST Seminar Series

Date: Thursday, March 18, 2021 Time: 6:00pm Zoom Link: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/98360315189?pwd=VktzWEJFZXF4bUMxUStUbEdiOE56dz09 Title: Direct Detection of Dark Matter Beyond the Weak Scale Speaker: Gopolang Mohlabeng, Postdoctoral Fellow McDonald Institute Queens University Abstract: There is overwhelming astrophysical and cosmological evidence for the existence of dark matter. For decades, particle physicists thought it must be a very well-motivated class of models falling under the Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP) paradigm. Though there have been extensive searches for these, a convincing signal remains elusive. We are hence compelled to consider a broader program based on novel theoretical ideas and search strategies. In this colloquium, I will give an overview of my work on new scenarios beyond the WIMP paradigm that can give striking signals of dark matter, accessible in the near future. I will also discuss a model that can explain the recently observed excess of events at the Xenon1T experiment.

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM	Joint MNE-EAS Seminar by Dr. Deniz Gedikli, University of Hawaii at Manoa Location: > See description for location Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department Description: Joint Mechanical Engineering (MNE) and Engineering and Applied Sciences (EAS) SEMINAR DATE: March 19, 2021 TIME: 2:00 p.m.- 3:00 p.m. LOCATION: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/97680493591 (Passcode: 500) SPEAKER: Dr. Deniz Gedikli, Assistant Professor Dept. of Ocean and Resources Engineering, Univ. of Hawaii at Manoa TOPIC: Understanding the Nonlinear Dynamics of Offshore Structures in Harsh Environmental Conditions ABSTRACT: Technology, law and world's appetite for more energy pushed oil-gas and renewable energy source exploration farther from the shores. Recent developments in this search have brought additional design challenges since these large offshore structures are more prone to the harsh environments around them. These factors require innovative approaches, in part because companies cannot operate in conventional ways in the Arctic region and in deep sea. This topic has critical importance to the offshore industry, particularly for the cost-effective development of new ocean structures such as floating offshore wind platforms and wind energy systems. In this seminar, I will talk about some of the current engineering challenges associated with deep water explorations, and how we attempt to solve them. I will also talk about some of my on-going projects which include design and analysis of dynamics of offshore marine structures in deep waters and ice infested regions, some experimental fluid-structure interaction problems (i.e., development of a novel wave energy converter in collaboration with Hawaii Natural Energy Institute), ice-structure interactions and ice-wave interactions. BIO: Deniz Gedikli is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Before joining UH-Manoa, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU) where he worked on different offshore renewable energy and Arctic engineering projects collaborating with large offshore companies such as DNV GL, Siemens Gamesa, Equinor, TOTAL, and AkerBP. He has received his PhD from the Department of Ocean Engineering at the University of Rhode Island. His research focuses on experimental fluid-structure interactions, nonlinear dynamics and data science, and his interests include flow induced vibrations, Arctic offshore structures, aquaculture technology and offshore renewable energy systems. For more information, please contact Dr. Caiwei Shen, MNE Seminar Coordinator (cshen2@umassd.edu). All are welcome. Students taking MNE-500 are REQUIRED to attend! All other MNE BS and MS students are encouraged to attend. EAS students are also encouraged to attend.

« 3/17 - 4/14 »	Online Teaching and Learning Strategies Location: Online Contact: CITS Instructional Development Description: Online Teaching and Learning Strategies is a rigorous four-week, fully online certification course that introduces faculty to the current research and best practices for online teaching and learning. Using their own discipline-specific course materials for activities, faculty will work independently, collaboratively with peers from across campus, and with Instructional Designers to design and build one unit of online instruction in a myCourses site. This unit will meet the Quality Online Course Review Rubric criteria and be a model that faculty can reference and replicate as they continue to develop their upcoming fully online course(s). Topical Areas: Faculty Development, Training, audience: Faculty, Workshop
