Blended Learning: Finding the Mix
- Location: Online
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: This online workshop focuses on blended learning strategies and developing faculty abilities to successfully integrate online components of a course with face-to-face components Faculty are invited to engage in a 10 day asynchronous workshop designed to introduce blended learning techniques and facilitate faculty planning of a blended course. The workshop includes a focus on assessment to help faculty not only assess student learning outcomes, but also to assess how well the “blend” works to facilitate student learning.

Faculty & Staff Mindfulness Meditation
- Location: MacLean Campus Center, Reflection Room, Room 233
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: Weekly meeting for faculty and staff who are interested in learning about and practicing mindfulness meditation.
This technique has been shown to increase cortical density in areas of the brain associated with cognitive and attentional control and emotional regulation. Practice with mindfulness meditation has been found to reduce anxiety and stress, increase attentional abilities and supplement socio-emotional functioning. No experience is required, and drop-ins are more than welcome.
This event is to repeat weekly for the Spring 2015 semester, excluding Feb. 17th and March 17th.
Please contact Aminda O'Hare (aohare@umassd.edu or ext. 8761) for more information.

Computational Science Seminar
- Location: Textiles Building 105

- Description: The Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research announces the following seminar.
Speaker: Miles Sundermeyer (SMAST at UMassD)
Title: "Ocean Mixing Studies and An Introduction to the UMass Experimental Center for Environmental Lidar (EXCEL)"
Time: Tuesday, April 14, 2015, 3:30pm-4:30pm
Location: Textiles 105
Abstract: Dye release experiments conducted in the seasonal pycnocline of the Sargasso Sea in June 2011 are used to estimate diapycnal and isopycnal diffusivities on time scales of many days, and spatial scales of 0.1 to 10 km. A shear-strain-diffusion model suggests vertical shear dispersion by low frequency shears and internal waves explain a fraction of the observed lateral spreading. A series of shorter (order 6 hrs) experiments surveyed using airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) reveal details about the short-term evolution of the dye patches, including multiple instances of sinuous meanders of the patches early in the evolution, and/or evidence of filamentation along their periphery. This suggests weak small- scale (<1 km) differential lateral advection acting on the patches, possibly contributing to enhanced dispersion at later times in the longer experiments. Simple scaling implies an upper bound on the effective lateral diffusivity at the <1 km scale that is nearly an
order of magnitude smaller than that at 1-5 km scales.
To further advance the use of lidar for environmental science applications such as these, we have established a new UMass Experimental Center for Environmental Lidar (EXCEL). In brief, EXCEL is a multi-campus center (UMass Lowell, Dartmouth, Boston, and Amherst) that pools expertise among the four campuses in terrestrial, oceanographic, and wind lidar. As part of the Center's oceanographic related activities in particular, we are reaching out to potential collaborators within UMass and in the region that have interest and/or possible applications related to bathymetric lidar, spatially resolved wave data, water clarity data (e.g. tubidity, phytoplankton concentrations), marsh/wetland/beach/dune/channel topography/bathymetric data, and/or other marine/coastal related applications. We welcome any opportunities to collaborate with interested groups on these and related problems.
Dr. Sundermeyer is an Associate Professor at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth School for Marine Science and Technology. He earned his Ph.D. from the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Physical Oceanography, and has been studying problems relating to ocean mixing for more than 20 years. His primary research interests include vertical and horizontal mixing processes, dye release and Lagrangian drifter studies, numerical modeling of two- and three-dimensional turbulent flows, numerical modeling of physical and biological interactions.

Managing Research Data, Part 3
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Room 226
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Cost: Free!!
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: The Library has partnered with CITS and SPA to assist members of the campus community manage their research data, and this workshop series is one part of that initiative. First we will show a broad overview of what data management is and show you a tool (DMPTool) you can use to deposit your plans for managing your research data. Next we will take a look at what metadata is and play with a tool (TeX) you can use for document formatting. Last we will work with a tool (OpenRefine) which will curate your messy data and play around with theory on version controls and backlogs.
The class will be taught in two sequences. The first sequence is for faculty and staff only and is sponsored by the Office of Faculty Development. The second sequence is open to faculty, staff, students, and the public. You do not need to attend every class in a sequence, and faculty/staff may attend from a mix of sequences.
