Research cruise covered by KPBS!
Liz was one of the collaborators in the "Turbulence in La Jolla Canyon" project in October. The on the RV Beyster will provide fundamental fluid mechanics insights into mixing and transport in the canyon which is climatically relevant. She deployed her broadband acoustic system to characterize water column structure. Watch the feature and read the whole article here!
Ice-Ocean interaction workshop at the National University of Singapore
Liz and her Scripps Institution of Oceanography colleagues joined a workshop with researchers from Poland and Singapore to discuss ice-ocean research in October.
UNH undergraduate research conference
The undergraduate research assistants, Nicole and Eli, working with Liz on her hydrothermal vent NOAA Office of Exploration Research project gave a poster presentation at the University of New Hampshire undergraduate research conference. The poster covered their contribution to the project, the evaluation of flow behavior along a line array using both theory and empirical tools. This was Nicole's first poster presentation and did a fantastic job!
UNH Spark magazine article on DEI efforts
Liz and Alex Padilla, URGE pod co-leaders for the Ocean Mapping and Engineering Pod at UNH, were featured in the UNH research magazine, SPARK, for their DEI efforts on campus. Find the article, Deconstructing Bias, here.
Resource map for UNH BIPOC community
Liz, along with three other UNH graduate students, presented a prototype resource map at the Unlearning Racism in the Geosciences session at AGU 2021. The interactive map displays resources relevant to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) community members on and near the UNH campus. Providing a geospatial context that identifies and supports BIPOC can help cultivate a sense of belonging, acceptance, and safety within a university community. Watch the recording here!
New publication!
Liz and Tom Weber published a new research article in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America entitled "an acoustic scattering model for stratification structure." This paper describes the scattering of sound off ocean water column structure, such as the seasonal thermocline, the base of the mixed layer, of thermohaline staircases.
