2:30 PM - 3:30 PM	Department of Fisheries Oceanography Seminar - Dr. Judith Rosellon-Druker 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 "From Alaska to Mexico: Understanding marine ecosystems from an integrated perspective" By Dr. Judith Rosellon-Druker Wednesday, November 10, 2021 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm SMAST East, Rooms 101/102 Also Via Zoom Abstract An ecosystem-based approach is presented for two projects in two different countries. The first one was developed in Sitka, Alaska, where socio-ecological conceptual models of relevant commercial and subsistence fisheries were constructed by collecting and synthesizing available scientific information, local ecological knowledge (LEK), and other qualitative information. These models, coproduced by scientists and Sitka stakeholders, illustrated the main biological and environmental factors driving the abundance of these fisheries. These models also elucidated how the interaction between Sitka residents and these fisheries affect community well-being. The second project is currently being developed in Mexico. It focuses on the atypical influxes of floating sargassum seaweed that arrive to the Mexican Caribbean and coasts of Florida. This phenomenon has entailed severe impacts on coastal and marine ecosystems and their ecosystem services, as well as on the well-being of coastal communities. This project intends to develop a binational compendium of LEK to derive a list of best management and use practices of Sargassum. By doing so, a binational cooperation will be enhanced by addressing a shared socio-environmental challenge. ******************************************************************************** Zoom Link https://umassd.zoom.us/j/93758230260?pwd=OHJ5UDloQkZZaCtXcTlBNlR6Qm0rQT09 Meeting ID: 937 5823 0260 Passcode: 426839 One tap mobile +13017158592,,93758230260#,,,,426839# US (Washington DC) +13126266799,,93758230260#,,,,426839# US (Chicago) Dial by your location +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 646 876 9923 US (New York) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Find your local number: https://umassd.zoom.us/u/acosTPRs4V ******************************************************************************** For additional information, please contact Sue Silva at s1silva@umassd.edu Topical Areas: School for Marine Sciences and Technology, SMAST Seminar Series

12:30 PM - 1:30 PM	Department of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences Seminar - Eduard Eichner Location: > See description for location Contact: > See Description for contact information Description: The School for Marine Science and Technology Department of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences Seminar Announcement "Lake Management: Addressing an Overwhelming Need" Eduard Eichner Principal Water Scientist TMDL Solutions Wednesday, November 10, 2021 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm SMAST East Rooms 101/102 And Via Zoom Abstract: Southeastern Massachusetts has over 1,500 lakes and ponds. The Clean Water Act requires that any of these systems that have impaired water quality should have a strategy to remove the impairments. Development of an appropriate strategy requires a reasonable understanding of how each system functions and which factors are the most important for addressing identified impairments. Most nutrient-related impairments in lakes and ponds are due to watershed/external inputs or sediment/internal inputs, but the relative balance between these sources can differ from pond to pond. In order to develop the necessary information for quantifying these sources, a diagnostic assessment is completed that gathers both internal and external data. The assessment becomes the foundation for a management plan that reviews applicable management options. Applicable options typically include various treatments for the sediments, watershed wastewater or stormwater treatment, and/or water column treatments, but the best solution will vary from pond to pond. ******************************************************************************** Join Zoom Meeting https://umassd.zoom.us/j/97440069270?pwd=L2Z1bDZESTFCKzJYZWduYVhWenYvZz09 Meeting ID: 974 4006 9270 Passcode: 428029 One tap mobile +13017158592,,97440069270#,,,,428029# US (Washington DC) +13126266799,,97440069270#,,,,428029# US (Chicago) Dial by your location +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 646 876 9923 US (New York) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Meeting ID: 974 4006 9270 Passcode: 428029 Find your local number: https://umassd.zoom.us/u/adtxYu9NMO Join by SIP 97440069270@zoomcrc.com Join by H.323 162.255.37.11 (US West) 162.255.36.11 (US East) 115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai) 115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad) 213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands) 213.244.140.110 (Germany) 103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney) 103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne) 149.137.40.110 (Singapore) 64.211.144.160 (Brazil) 149.137.68.253 (Mexico) 69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto) 65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver) 207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo) 149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka) Meeting ID: 974 4006 9270 Passcode: 428029 ******************************************************************************** For additional information, please contact Sue Silva at s1silva@umassd.edu Topical Areas: School for Marine Sciences and Technology, SMAST Seminar Series

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM	Department of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences PhD Proposal Defense by Adrienne M. Silver Location: > See description for location Contact: > See Description for contact information Description: The School for Marine Science and Technology Department of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences PhD Proposal Defense "A Multiscale and Multidisciplinary Look at the Gulf Stream System, Its Rings and Their Impacts" By Adrienne M. Silver Advisor Avijit Gangopadhyay, School for Marine Science and Technology, UMass Dartmouth Committee Steve Lohrenz, School for Marine Science and Technology, UMass Dartmouth Gavin Fay, School for Marine Science and Technology, UMass Dartmouth Glen Gawarkiewicz, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Magdalena Andres, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Friday, November 12, 2021 10:00 am to 11:00 am SMAST East, Rooms 101,102,103 Also on Zoom Abstract In recent years the Gulf Stream system has been observed to undergo changes at both the climatological and synoptic time scales. The Stream has been proposed to be slowing (Caesar et al., 2021; Piecuch, 2020), the destabilization point has moved westward (Andres, 2016), and the number of annual Warm Core Ring formations has doubled after the year 2000 (Gangopadhyay et al., 2019). These changes within the Gulf Stream system have large implications for large-scale climate phenomena as well as impacting local ecosystems and coastal communities. Through this work I propose to address three main questions regarding the Gulf Stream system and its rings, each with distinct spatial and temporal scales. The first question focuses on the Gulf Stream system as a whole, examining ring formation and instability processes within the Stream. This section aims to answer the question of what drives the Stream to form a Warm versus a Cold Core Ring. Preliminary results have found several asymmetries in ring formation between Warm and Cold Core Rings at both seasonal and interannual time-scales (Silver et al., 2021a). Additionally, a Gulf Stream North Wall forecasting model was created (Silver et al., 2021b) using wind and buoyancy forcing from the previous three years. Future work will use sea surface satellite tracks and ARGO floats to examine the Stream instability processes (baroclinic and barotropic) to see what drives the observed asymmetries. To address the second question, we follow a Warm Core Ring as it moves through the Slope Sea along the Ring Corridor. This section aims to understand how ring characteristics change with age and location. Using ARGO floats and a newly generated Warm Core Ring Tracking dataset, ring properties at depth can be examined as they travel throughout the Slope Sea. The third question is focused on characterizing the impact of a Warm Core Ring hitting the shelf break. When a Warm Core Ring hits the shelf several exchange processes can occur such as shelf streamers, salinity maximum intrusions, and Pinocchio's nose intrusions. These processes can push warm salty water onto the shelf, or pull cold fresh water off the shelf. The impact of these exchange processes on Zooplankton populations will be examined using ECOMON and ARGO data along with the previously mentioned Warm Core Ring tracking dataset. ******************************************************************************** Join Zoom Meeting https://umassd.zoom.us/j/98042226024?pwd=Q3A0Q3VvMGpST1RCeUJpUWR5RWFrQT09 Meeting ID: 980 4222 6024 Passcode: 335862 One tap mobile +13017158592,,98042226024#,,,,335862# US (Washington DC) +13126266799,,98042226024#,,,,335862# US (Chicago) Dial by your location +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 646 876 9923 US (New York) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Meeting ID: 980 4222 6024 Passcode: 335862 Find your local number: https://umassd.zoom.us/u/acmyYkqQiq Join by SIP 98042226024@zoomcrc.com Join by H.323 162.255.37.11 (US West) 162.255.36.11 (US East) 115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai) 115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad) 213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands) 213.244.140.110 (Germany) 103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney) 103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne) 149.137.40.110 (Singapore) 64.211.144.160 (Brazil) 149.137.68.253 (Mexico) 69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto) 65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver) 207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo) 149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka) Meeting ID: 980 4222 6024 Passcode: 335862 ******************************************************************************** For additional information, please contact Sue Silva at s1silva@umassd.edu Topical Areas: School for Marine Sciences and Technology, SMAST Seminar Series

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM	Biology Department Seminar, Nick Dorian, "Do bees hedge their bets?" Location: > See description for location Contact: Biology Seminar Series Description: Location: LARTS 108 Abstract: Many organisms, from copepods to plants to bees, hedge their bets through prolonged dormancy, spreading offspring emergence across multiple years instead of just one. At first, though, its puzzling why prolonged dormancy is so widespread since the short-term costs of foregoing reproduction can be high. Only in sufficiently variable environments are the benefits of reduced variance in fitness outweighed by costs of lower short-term reproduction. These predictions arise from a vast body of bet-hedging theory, but only a few examples from desert annual plants demonstrate the adaptive value of prolonged dormancy in the real world. In this talk, I examine whether solitary bees (important pollinators in ecological and agricultural systems) also hedge their bets via prolonged dormancy. I use a combination of field data, mathematical simulations, and lab experiments to understand the adaptive value of prolonged dormancy in wild bees and the environmental factors that give rise to dormant offspring. My work gives us a glimpse into how a group of declining insect pollinators will fare under future environmental conditions and helps to resolve the extent to which ecological theory reflects the real world.
