2:30 PM - 3:30 PM	Department of Fisheries Oceanography Weekly Seminar by Alex Kinsella 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 “The Relationship Between SST Gradients and Rainfall within Monsoon Intraseasonal Oscillations” Alex Kinsella Mahadevan Lab Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Wednesday, November 16, 2022 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm SMAST East, Rooms 101/102 And via Zoom Abstract The South Asian monsoon is the largest weather system in the world and involves intense air-sea interaction over the tropical Indian Ocean. The summer monsoon season exhibits wet and dry spells on the 30-90 day timescale termed monsoon intraseasonal oscillations (MISO), which take the prototypical form of northward-propagating bands of rainfall over the Bay of Bengal. Ocean and atmosphere oscillations are tightly coupled within MISO events due to large heat, momentum, and radiative fluxes at the surface. In this talk, I will discuss the relation between the oscillations in Bay of Bengal meridional SST gradients and in rainfall over the northern Bay and continent. The coupling between SST gradients and rainfall is stronger during dry spells than during wet spells, possibly due to a convective threshold mechanism. The gradients are also connected to the behavior of the eastward extension of the low-level Somali atmospheric jet, which oscillates in tandem with MISO events and brings moist air and rainfall over India when in its northward position. Bio Alex Kinsella is a postdoctoral investigator at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the Mahadevan Lab. He is interested in air-sea interaction from the submesoscale to the basin scale and its effects on weather and climate. Alex transitioned to physical oceanography after he completed his PhD in physics in 2021 at UC Santa Barbara, where his dissertation work focused on string theory and geometry. ******************************************************************************** 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	The Department of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences Seminar by Jaime Palter 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 “Dispatches from a turbulent Gulf Stream: Connections to circulation changes on the New England shelf, climate and carbon” Prof. Jaime Palter Graduate School of Oceanography University of Rhode Island Wednesday, November 16, 2022 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm SMAST East, Rooms 101/102 And via Zoom Abstract The Gulf Stream influences climate, weather, and ecosystems. It transports the warm branch of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which moderates high latitude Northern Hemisphere climate and is projected to decline in a warming climate. In this talk, I will present observational and model-based evidence that the Gulf Stream's interactions with the Labrador Current drive variability all along the Northeast US Continental Slope and Shelf, from temperature to fisheries. Over the last century, these interactions have led to large-scale warming on the Northeast US Slope. Because this warming translates to a buoyancy increase at the western boundary of the North Atlantic that exceeds the buoyancy changes at the same latitude in the east, we can infer a slowdown of the AMOC, albeit with low confidence due to sparsity in the early hydrographic record. I will end with an outlook of major questions for the future, including how we might sustain observations of air-sea turbulent exchange in and near the Gulf Stream for the purpose of better weather prediction and lower uncertainty in the quantification of the ocean carbon sink. *******************************************************************************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

Speaker: Associate Professor. Kean Wu (Rochester Institute of Technology) Title: Startups' Social Network Configurations and Performance: Evidence from Social Media Analysis Date: Friday, November 18, 2022 Time: 10:00-11:15 AM Location: via Zoom Meeting https://umassd.zoom.us/j/4387551509?pwd=bVB2QzdtRmFCdkk1WTVQSUxHMS9iQT09 Abstract: This study examines the effects of network configurations of startup companies. Based on Twitter connections, we then construct two networks: a) a cohort network comprising of only startups, and b) a global network comprising of all of startups' connections on Twitter. We find that a startup with higher centrality in the cohort network has favorable outcomes, including lower likelihood of bankruptcy, longer survival, and higher likelihood of receiving funding and larger and more fund, while the centrality in the global network has adverse effects. In addition, we find that more outgoing (incoming) Twitter connections lead to positive (negative) outcomes. For additional information, please contact Prof. Hongkang Xu at hxu5@umassd.edu.

The Kimbro lab studies how environmental gradients and anthropogenic activities can alter the sign and magnitude of species interactions that structure the functioning and services provided by estuarine habitat-forming species such as oyster reefs, seagrass meadows, and salt marshes. In this talk, I will share how our lab has used simple field and laboratory experiments to understand the context dependency of predation-risk effects and to help resolve interstate litigation concerning the roles of upstream freshwater withdrawal, drought, and harvesting pressure on the collapse of a historically important oyster fishery in Florida, USA.
