  • Description: Marc St. Pierre: Black & White Location: University Art Gallery, Star Store Campus, Downtown New Bedford, MA Open through September 9, 2021 Reception: AHA! Night, Thursday, August 12, 6-8 pm Gallery hours: Mon-Fri 9 am - 6 pm and until 9 pm during AHA! Nights (second Thursday of every month) The University Art Gallery in New Bedford is proud to present Black & White, an exhibition by a beloved UMass Dartmouth professor, the late Marc St. Pierre (June 23, 1952 - December 2, 2019), featuring a selection of mixed media drawings and collage with encaustic, as well as black and white photography. Drawings created between 2008 and 2012, layered geometric elements, and abstract forms create a rich and poignant experience filled with wonder and exploration. They took inspiration from the 'man-made', architectural plans, diagrams, and maps of early explorers. In his artist statement from 2012, Marc said,“As the drawing process evolves, organic shapes and gestural lines are introduced over the groundwork in transparent overlays. This provides a counterpoint to the precision associated with the geometry and acts as a multiple exposure in photography. This pictorial space becomes a dialog of random marks that combines the constructed with the unsystematic. My drawings intend to move the eye within an abstract and shallow picture plane in a gradual release of time. The illusion of a 'deep space' in Marc's work, invites visitors into a complex, hazy, and multi-dimensional world of collage and encaustics that are presented in smaller formats in the exhibition. Describing his process in 2017, Marc wrote, "First, I use a variety of printmaking processes as a departure for recording marks, surfaces, and layers. This becomes a collage groundwork that allows me to invent the abstract equivalent of land patterns such as the meeting point of landmasses and water, for example. Secondly, additional layers of tracings from actual maps and topographic patterns are introduced. These drawings become a physical overlay suspended in translucent wax." Curiosity and the connection between the creative and scientific, as well as an equally strong interest in observing the tangible are also very much a part of Marc's pinhole camera work shown at Crapo Gallery. After his retirement in 2017, Marc was often seen counting the time of his exposures while photographing various New Bedford locations. According to Gallery Director, Viera Levitt, "Marc would talk about taking his pinhole photographs, leaving for these expeditions from the Star Store Campus with a repurposed box readied with a small hole for capturing images directly on the photo paper. He enjoyed telling stories to his impromptu audiences including the building guard, about the random passers-by, observing his 'mysterious box' on the ground, ready to 'shoot'! It was indeed magic to see the one-of-a-kind monotypes he was able to capture with such simple, but skilled technique and his great patience for experimentation." The exhibition is open through September 9 during the gallery hours Mon-Fri 9 am-6 pm and until 9 pm during AHA! Nights (the second Thursday of every month). The special reception is planned for Thursday, AHA! Night, August 12, from 6 to 8 pm.

  • Description: EAS PhD Thesis Proposal Defense Presentation by iury T. Simoes-Sousa Date: August 16, 2021 Time: 2:00 p.m. Topic: On Three Sub-Grid Scale Processes and Their Influence on Larger Scales in the Ocean- Atmosphere System Zoom Teleconference: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/97845779618?pwd=cGZwTkI5YzgrYjRyRVNPbG5BQUxEUT09 Meeting ID: 978 4577 9618 Passcode: 903478 Abstract: Subgrid-scale physics relates to important small-scale physical processes that occur at length scales that cannot be appropriately resolved on a computational mesh. This physics is important to understand so that the implications of missing it are clear. In the context of climate models, these scales are usually smaller than 0.5° (~50 km), comprising part of the ocean and atmospheric mesoscale and the so-called submesoscale. Some of the effects of these features are parameterized in climate models to diminish the error related to not resolving them. In this thesis, we will explore three of these processes and its impact on larger scales. While not necessarily proposing new parameterizations, our focus is mainly on understanding the processes involved, and estimating the possible effects of these smaller scales on the atmospheric and ocean climate predictions. These subgrid-scale physical processes are: The implications of ocean submesoscale dynamics on the ecosystem (Chapter 2), The impact of atmospheric cold pools on the air-sea interaction, and their size distribution (Chapter 3), and The impact of sub-grid processes on the wind-driven generation of near inertial waves (Chapter 4). In Chapter 2, we compare a three-dimensional fine-scale simulation with a coarsened experiment in which eddy-driven restratification is parameterized. Our results highlight the importance of submesoscale on spring blooms, pointing out the biological implications of the submesoscale fluxes at the base of the mixed layer in climate models. In Chapter 3, we explore satellite and data from three nearby moorings to investigate the role and size distribution of atmospheric cold pools in the North Bay of Bengal. Our analysis shows that the tropical cold pools mainly occur during Monsoons, are dry, and have an important influence on the evaporative latent heat and sensible heat fluxes at the air-sea boundary. We also present the first size distribution of cold pools in the tropical Indian ocean, showing that most cold pools are larger than 20 km, present a lognormal distribution from 30 to 60 km, and some are bigger than 80 km. Larger cold pools are more transient and weaker in intensity. In Chapter 4, we step further in complexity, proposing an investigation of a combination of submesoscale and air-sea interaction impacts on the wind-driven generation of near-inertial internal waves (NIW). We pose a number of open questions related to generation of NIWs and a hierarchy of modeling approaches to make progress. The main objective of this proposal is to characterize and understand these processes and describe the effects of these subgrid-scale features on larger scales, so that future models can better include such processes.

  • Description: Mechanical Engineering MS Thesis Defense by Mr. Aleks Bourgoun DATE: August 17, 2021 TIME: 1:30 p.m. -3:30 p.m. LOCATION: ZOOM: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/94371085657?pwd=Y3dVMkU1cXVreFBIcjRVenVZTUpIZz09 Meeting ID:943 7108 5657 Passcode:291208 TOPIC: A Numerical and Experimental Study of Gas Diffusion from Super-Hydrophobic Surfaces to Under-Saturated Liquid ABSTRACT: The micro/nano-textured Super-Hydrophobic Surface (SHS) can trap a layer of gas bubbles when submerged in liquid, and consequently provides various benefits, such as self-cleaning, anti-corrosion, anti-icing, anti-biofouling, and drag reduction. However, the entrapped gas bubbles can be slowly dissolved into the ambient liquid when the liquid is under-saturated, causing a loss of all the benefits from the SHS. In this work, we study this gas diffusion process for an SHS fully submerged in under-saturated liquid through a combination of computational and experimental approaches. First, we solve the dissolved gas concentration in the liquid by COMSOL Multiphysics simulations. We present the time evolutions of gas concentration profile, mass flux, diffusion length, and amount of gas remaining on the surface. We find that the results agree very well with a simple one-dimensional diffusion model. We also examine the impact of SHS texture (e.g., fraction of surface area covered by gas, texture sizes) and domain size on the rate of mass flux and the lifetime of the gas on a SHS. Second, we experimentally measure the rate of gas transfer from an SHS to liquid by bright-field microscopy, planar laser induced fluorescence, and reflection interference contrast microscopy. We discuss the experimental setups, SHS fabrication methods, and data analysis procedures. Unlike numerical simulations, the experiment results show a non-uniform gas flux across the surface, probably due to the initial disturbance by the filling of water into the experimental chamber. Overall, our research provides guidelines on designing long lifetime SHSs for various underwater engineering applications.

Nights (second Thursday of every month) The University Art Gallery in New Bedford is proud to present Black & White, an exhibition by a beloved UMass Dartmouth professor, the late Marc St. Pierre (June 23, 1952 - December 2, 2019), featuring a selection of mixed media drawings and collage with encaustic, as well as black and white photography. Drawings created between 2008 and 2012, layered geometric elements, and abstract forms create a rich and poignant experience filled with wonder and exploration. They took inspiration from the 'man-made', architectural plans, diagrams, and maps of early explorers. In his artist statement from 2012, Marc said,“As the drawing process evolves, organic shapes and gestural lines are introduced over the groundwork in transparent overlays. This provides a counterpoint to the precision associated with the geometry and acts as a multiple exposure in photography. This pictorial space becomes a dialog of random marks that combines the constructed with the unsystematic. My drawings intend to move the eye within an abstract and shallow picture plane in a gradual release of time. The illusion of a 'deep space' in Marc's work, invites visitors into a complex, hazy, and multi-dimensional world of collage and encaustics that are presented in smaller formats in the exhibition. Describing his process in 2017, Marc wrote, "First, I use a variety of printmaking processes as a departure for recording marks, surfaces, and layers. This becomes a collage groundwork that allows me to invent the abstract equivalent of land patterns such as the meeting point of landmasses and water, for example. Secondly, additional layers of tracings from actual maps and topographic patterns are introduced. These drawings become a physical overlay suspended in translucent wax." Curiosity and the connection between the creative and scientific, as well as an equally strong interest in observing the tangible are also very much a part of Marc's pinhole camera work shown at Crapo Gallery. After his retirement in 2017, Marc was often seen counting the time of his exposures while photographing various New Bedford locations. According to Gallery Director, Viera Levitt, "Marc would talk about taking his pinhole photographs, leaving for these expeditions from the Star Store Campus with a repurposed box readied with a small hole for capturing images directly on the photo paper. He enjoyed telling stories to his impromptu audiences including the building guard, about the random passers-by, observing his 'mysterious box' on the ground, ready to 'shoot'! It was indeed magic to see the one-of-a-kind monotypes he was able to capture with such simple, but skilled technique and his great patience for experimentation." The exhibition is open through September 9 during the gallery hours Mon-Fri 9 am-6 pm and until 9 pm during AHA! Nights (the second Thursday of every month). The special reception is planned for Thursday, AHA! Night, August 12, from 6 to 8 pm.
