BRC-BIO: THE ROLE OF RESOURCES AND COMPETITION IN SHAPING FINE-SCALE TERRITORIAL AND FISSION-FUSION DYNAMICS IN A NON-MODEL POPULATION OF A MODEL SPECIES -ANIMAL SOCIALITY OFTEN PRESENTS A PARADOX: INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN GROUPS MUST SHARE VALUABLE RESOURCES?SUCH AS FOOD, MATES, AND TERRITORY?WHILE ALSO STRIVING TO MAXIMIZE THEIR OWN REPRODUCTIVE AND SURVIVAL SUCCESS. A CENTRAL QUESTION IN ANIMAL ECOLOGY, THEREFORE, IS WHY ANIMALS FORM GROUPS AND WHAT THE ASSOCIATED COSTS AND BENEFITS ARE. LIONS IN RESOURCE-RICH SAVANNA HABITATS HAVE LONG SERVED AS A MODEL FOR STUDYING SOCIAL BEHAVIOR IN MAMMALS, WITH EXTENSIVE RESEARCH SHEDDING LIGHT ON THE DRIVERS AND CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR GROUP LIVING. HOWEVER, LIONS ALSO INHABIT A RANGE OF ECOSYSTEMS BEYOND SAVANNAS. RECENT COMPARATIVE RESEARCH BY THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR IN A FORESTED ECOSYSTEM DEMONSTRATES THAT LION SOCIAL BEHAVIOR IS HIGHLY CONTEXT-DEPENDENT, VARYING SIGNIFICANTLY WITH ECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS. THIS PROJECT BUILDS ON THAT INSIGHT BY INVESTIGATING LION SOCIALITY IN A SEMI-ARID ENVIRONMENT?KENYA?S TSAVO ECOSYSTEM. USING ADVANCED BIOTELEMETRY, REMOTE CAMERAS, AND DIRECT OBSERVATIONS, THE STUDY WILL TRACK INDIVIDUAL LIONS AND THEIR GROUPS TO IDENTIFY THE ECOLOGICAL DRIVERS OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOR IN THIS NON-MODEL POPULATION. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO DEVELOP A NEW LION MONITORING SOFTWARE, SUPPORTING LONG-TERM RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND CONSERVATION EFFORTS. ADDITIONALLY, BY PROVIDING IMMERSIVE FIELD AND ANALYTICAL RESEARCH EXPERIENCES FOR UNDERGRADUATES AND POST-BACCALAUREATE RESEARCHERS, WHILE INTEGRATING FINDINGS INTO COURSE CURRICULA, THIS PROJECT ADVANCES THE NSF MISSION OF BUILDING A BROAD AND ROBUST STEM WORKFORCE. DOMINANT THEORIES IN ANIMAL BEHAVIOR LIMIT OUR UNDERSTANDING OF NATURE BY ANCHORING US TO FAMILIAR?AND SOMETIMES BIASED?HYPOTHESES DERIVED FROM STUDIES ON ICONIC OR MODEL SYSTEMS. LIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY ADVANCED OUR KNOWLEDGE OF ANIMAL SOCIALITY DUE TO THEIR COMPLEX FISSION-FUSION GROUP STRUCTURES AND THE NUANCED INTERPLAY OF COOPERATION AND CONFLICT WITHIN AND BETWEEN MALES AND FEMAILES. HOWEVER, THE TYPICAL LION IN SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE PERTAINS TO ONLY A FEW POPULATIONS INHABITING RESOURCE-RICH SAVANNAS (E.G. SERENGETI AND NGORONGORO), THEREBY CONFINING THE SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF A WIDELY DISTRIBUTED SPECIES INTO OVERLY DETERMINISTIC FRAMEWORKS. THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO BROADEN THAT PERSPECTIVE BY INTEGRATING DETAILED OBSERVATIONAL DATA WITH HIGH-RESOLUTION MOVEMENT TRACKING VIA PROXIMITY-ENABLED SATELLITE TELEMETRY TO 1) EXAMINE TERRITORIAL DYNAMICS OF MALE- AND FEMALE-GROUPS, AND 2) IDENTIFY INDIVIDUAL-LEVEL FACTORS GOVERNING SOCIAL COHESION IN LIONS IN A PREY-SCARCE, SPATIOTEMPORALLY HETEROGENOUS, SEMI-ARID SYSTEM. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO 3) DEVELOP A WEB-BASED SOFTWARE TOOL FOR CURATING, MANAGING, AND ANALYZING LONG-TERM BEHAVIORAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC DATA ON LIONS. BY MOVING BEYOND TRADITIONAL MODEL HABITATS, THIS PROJECT WILL INVESTIGATE MECHANISMS UNDERLYING INDIVIDUAL INTERACTIONS IN LIONS, AND WHETHER THESE INTERACTIONS DIFFER WITHIN AND BETWEEN MALES AND FEMALES AMIDST VARYING RESOURCES AND COMPETITION FROM CO-PREDATORS. ULTIMATELY, THE PROJECT AIMS TO REVEAL HOW ECOLOGICAL FACTORS INFLUENCE SOCIAL DECISION-MAKING AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE EVOLUTIONARY UNDERSTANDING OF SOCIAL VARIATION IN LIONS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

RUI: PYRAZOLOINDAZOLES AS LONG WAVELENGTH CHROMOPHORES AND EMITTERS -WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE CHEMICAL MECHANISM, FUNCTION, AND PROPERTIES PROGRAM OF THE DIVISION OF CHEMISTRY, PROFESSOR DENNIS CAO OF THE CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT AT MACALESTER COLLEGE IS DEVELOPING A CLASS OF ORGANIC DYE COMPOUNDS THAT INTERACT WITH NEAR-INFRARED LIGHT. THE GOAL OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO UNLOCK DESIGN PRINCIPLES TOWARD ORGANIC DYES THAT CAN HARVEST SOLAR ENERGY OUTSIDE THE VISIBLE REGION OF LIGHT AND/OR SERVE AS IMAGING AGENTS DEEP WITHIN LIVING TISSUE. THE RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IN SYNTHESIS AND PHOTOPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION WILL BE CONDUCTED BY UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHERS BOTH IN LABORATORY COURSES AND IN FULL-TIME SUMMER POSITIONS, PROVIDING EXCELLENT TRAINING AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. THE CAO LAB WILL ALSO HOST VISITING GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCHERS AND PROVIDE THEM WITH FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE OF RUNNING A RESEARCH PROGRAM AND MENTORING IN THE CONTEXT OF AN UNDERGRADUATE INSTITUTION. COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS SUGGEST THAT THE PYRAZOLOINDAZOLE SCAFFOLD HAS REMARKABLE POTENTIAL AS A NEAR-INFRARED (NIR) CHROMOPHORE, WITH AN ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE THAT IS 1) SENSITIVE TO STRUCTURAL MODIFICATIONS FOR VARYING THE HOMO-LUMO GAP AND 2) LIKELY TO BE A NIR LIGHT EMITTER. CURATED LIBRARIES OF MODIFIED PYRAZOLOINDAZOLES WILL BE SYNTHESIZED AND INVESTIGATED TO IDENTIFY DESIGN RULES FOR ACHIEVING COMPOUNDS WITH ENHANCED ABSORPTION AND/OR EMISSION MAXIMA LONGER THAN 700 NM. THE PROJECT TEAM ADDITIONALLY WILL INVESTIGATE THE REDOX ACTIVITY OF THE PYRAZOLOINDAZOLE SCAFFOLD IN ANTICIPATION OF ACHIEVING RADICAL ION STATES THAT EXHIBIT NARROW ENERGY GAP CHARACTERISTICS.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HCC: SMALL: RUI: DRAWING FROM LIFE IN EXTENDED REALITY: ADVANCING AND TEACHING CROSS-REALITY USER INTERFACES FOR OBSERVATIONAL 3D SKETCHING -THIS PROJECT ADVANCES THE SCIENCE OF HOW PEOPLE WORK EFFECTIVELY AND CREATIVELY WITHIN FUTURE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS THAT SPAN THE REAL WORLD, VIRTUAL REALITY (VR), AND MIXED DIGITAL+PHYSICAL SPACES IN BETWEEN. SINCE DRAWING IS FUNDAMENTAL TO CREATIVE WORK ACROSS MANY DISCIPLINES (E.G., PRODUCT DESIGN, ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING, ART), THE INVESTIGATORS FOCUS ON THE EMERGING MEDIUM OF 3D DRAWING, A FORM OF COMPUTER-AIDED DRAWING WHERE SWEEPING MOVEMENTS OF A 3D-TRACKED PEN ARE USED TO CREATE VIRTUAL 3D DRAWINGS THAT APPEAR TO FLOAT IN THE AIR. IN THE HANDS OF ARTISTS, ARCHITECTS, PRODUCT DESIGNERS, ENGINEERS, AND OTHERS, VIRTUAL REALITY 3D DRAWING TECHNOLOGIES HAVE ALREADY LED TO EXCITING NEW DESIGN PROCESSES AND PRODUCTS. HOWEVER, DESPITE SOME EARLY SUCCESSES AND THE GREAT POTENTIAL, 3D DRAWING, LIKE SO MANY OTHER EARLY APPLICATIONS OF VR, REMAINS LIMITED WHEN COMPARED TO THE PHYSICAL, REAL-WORLD COUNTERPART OF TRADITIONAL DRAWING. TAKE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE WAY ARTISTS AND PRODUCT DESIGNERS ARE TAUGHT TO DRAW; LEARNING TO DRAW IN THE REAL WORLD STARTS WITH LEARNING TO SEE, I.E., MAKING CAREFUL OBSERVATIONS OF A SUBJECT. FOR ADVANCED DRAWERS, REAL-WORLD DRAWING FROM OBSERVATION IS EVEN A WAY TO STUDY A SUBJECT, A MODE OF INQUIRY. YET, CREATIVE WORK IN VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS TAKES THE OPPOSITE APPROACH, USERS HAVE POWERFUL TOOLS AND AN ENDLESS 3D CANVAS, BUT NO MEANS OF CONNECTING THESE TO THEIR NOTES, SKETCHES, MODELS, EXPERIMENTS, AND OTHER REAL-WORLD ARTIFACTS. THIS PROJECT PRESENTS A NEW VISION FOR 3D DRAWING THAT MAKES IT APPLICABLE TO IMPACTFUL WORK WITH REAL-WORLD SUBJECTS (E.G., SCIENTISTS WORKING IN THE LABORATORY OR THE FIELD, ENGINEERS CONDUCTING A DESIGN REVIEW, ARTISTS WORKING FOR SOCIAL CHANGE). THE KEY APPROACH IS TO RE-CENTER 3D DRAWING, AND OTHER CREATIVE TASKS TYPICALLY PERFORMED IN VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS, ON THE FOUNDATIONAL SKILL OF CAREFUL OBSERVATION. SPECIFICALLY, THE PROJECT DEVELOPS NEW AUGMENTED- AND MIXED-REALITY (AR AND MR) TOOLS FOR MAKING OBSERVATIONS FROM MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES AND USING THOSE OBSERVATIONS TO CREATE 3D DRAWINGS. THE SUCCESS OF THESE FOUNDATIONAL TOOLS IS ASSESSED IN LAB-BASED USER STUDIES. THE INTEGRATED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM CREATES COLLEGE COURSES AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS TO TRAIN STUDENTS IN THESE NEW CROSS-REALITY MODES OF WORKING AND BUILD CAPACITY AMONG POTENTIAL 3D DRAWING INSTRUCTORS FOR TEACHING THIS NEW STYLE OF OBSERVATIONAL 3D DRAWING IN AR. UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN BOTH COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ART/DESIGN DISCIPLINES ARE TRAINED AS KEY MEMBERS OF THE INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH TEAM. PRIOR RESEARCH ON 3D DRAWING HAS MADE 3D PENS MORE CONTROLLABLE AND LED TO MANY EXCITING SOFTWARE TOOLS, BUT NONE OF THEM HELP PEOPLE TO WORK ACROSS REALITIES TO DRAW WHAT THEY SEE. THIS PROJECT CREATES NOVEL USER INTERFACE TECHNIQUES AND VIEWPOINT ENTROPY ALGORITHMS FOR MAKING OBSERVATIONS (E.G., JUDGING RELATIVE PROPORTION, ANGLES, AND NEGATIVE SPACE) BY IDENTIFYING, VISUALIZING, AND NAVIGATING THE MOST USEFUL VIEWPOINTS FOR OBSERVATIONS OF A REAL-WORLD SUBJECT. IT ALSO DEVELOPS SPATIAL USER INTERFACES FOR TRANSLATING OBSERVATIONS INTO HAND-DRAWN 3D FORMS WITH HYBRID 2D+3D SKETCHING INTERFACES AND COMPUTER GRAPHICS SKETCH-BASED 3D MODELING ALGORITHMS. THE DEEP FOCUS ON REAL-WORLD OBSERVATION MAKES THE PROPOSED TECHNIQUES IDEAL EXAMPLES OF EMERGING RESEARCH ON CROSS-REALITY USER INTERFACES THAT SUPPORT SEAMLESS TRANSITIONS BETWEEN REALITY, VIRTUALITY, AND MIXED SPACES IN BETWEEN. THE PROJECT INCLUDES A TIGHTLY INTEGRATED EDUCATIONAL PLAN, AND THE NOVEL SYSTEMS DEVELOPED WILL BE DEPLOYED IN CLASSROOMS AT MULTIPLE INSTITUTIONS. THE SUCCESS AND POTENTIAL OF THE NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND EDUCATIONAL MODULES DEVELOPED WILL BE ASSESSED THROUGH A COMBINATION OF LAB- AND CLASSROOM-BASED USER STUDIES. THIS RESEARCH EFFORT WILL OPEN THE DOOR TO USING 3D DRAWING AS A MODE OF INQUIRY TO LEVERAGE DRAWING'S EXPRESSIVE POWER FOR REPRESENTING THE WORLD AROUND US. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RUI: OBLIQUITY VS PRECESSION EFFECTS IN ANTARCTIC ICE MARGIN DYNAMICS INFERRED FROM ICE RAFTED DEBRIS IN THE SOUTHERN INDIAN OCEAN AT ODP SITE 745 -WHEN GLACIERS SCRAPE ACROSS ANTARCTICA, THEY PICK UP ROCK FRAGMENTS AND INCORPORATE THEM INTO THEIR BOTTOM LAYERS WHILE TRANSPORTING THEM TOWARD THE COAST. THERE, ICEBERGS BREAK OFF, DRIFTING TOWARDS LOWER LATITUDES AND WARMER WATERS. ALONG THE WAY THE ICEBERGS MELT AND THE ROCK FRAGMENTS SINK TO THE SEAFLOOR, LEAVING BEHIND A TRAIL OF THESE ROCK FRAGMENTS CALLED ICE RAFTED DEBRIS. ICE RAFTED DEBRIS ACCUMULATES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN AND OVER TIME PRESERVES A RECORD OF ACTIVITY AT THEIR SOURCE, THE ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET. IN THIS STUDY INVESTIGATORS WILL USE SEDIMENT CORES RECOVERED IN THE INDIAN OCEAN BY THE OCEAN DRILLING PROGRAM TO RECONSTRUCT THE ACCUMULATION OF ICE RAFTED DEBRIS OVER TIME. THE DRILL SITE IS ABOUT 500 MILES NORTH OF THE ANTARCTIC CONTINENT, AND IN THE PATH OF THE ICE BERGS THAT IT SHEDS. WHEN LOOKING AT THE VARIATIONS IN ICE RAFTED DEBRIS OVER TIME, THE TEAM WILL OBTAIN A RECORD OF CHANGES IN THE GLACIAL ACTIVITY OF THE ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET THROUGH TIME. THE STUDY IS MOTIVATED BY THE MYSTERY SURROUNDING CHANGES IN GLACIAL ACTIVITY IN RESPONSE TO CHANGES IN THE SHAPE OF EARTH?S ORBIT AROUND THE SUN, THE WOBBLE OF ITS AXIS, AND THE DEGREE OF THE TILT OF THE EARTH?S AXIS, THE SO-CALLED MILANKOVITCH CYCLES. FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BETWEEN ABOUT 1.2 AND 1.6 MILLION YEARS AGO, IT IS NOT CLEAR IF ICE SHEET GROWTH AND MELT RESPONDED TO CHANGES IN INCOMING SOLAR ENERGY RELATED TO CHANGES IN THE SHAPE OF THE ORBIT OR TO CHANGES IN ITS TILT TOWARD OR AWAY FROM THE SUN. THIS STUDY WILL CONTRIBUTE DATA TO HELP UNDERSTAND HOW THESE EXTERNAL MECHANISMS CAUSE VARIATIONS IN THE SIZE AND BEHAVIOR OF ANTARCTIC ICE SHEETS. INVESTIGATORS WILL CONDUCT THIS RESEARCH ALONGSIDE A NUMBER OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AND ONE GRADUATE STUDENT. RECORDS OF ICE RAFTED DEBRIS PROVIDE AN IDEAL TEACHING TOOL AS THEY ARE REASONABLY EASY TO ASSEMBLE BY STUDENTS INDEPENDENTLY (AFTER INITIAL TRAINING) AND THUS PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH A SENSE OF SELF-RELIANCE AND SELF-CONFIDENCE, INCREASING THEIR MOTIVATION TO REMAIN IN A STEM RELATED FIELD. THUS, ICE RAFTED DEBRIS IS AN IDEAL PROXY TO TEACH STUDENTS ABOUT PALEOCLIMATE AND PALEOCEANOGRAPHY. BROADER IMPACTS ACTIVITIES INCLUDE TRAINING AND MENTORING UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AND A GRADUATE STUDENT, OUTREACH WITH A LOCAL MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND EFFORTS TO EXPAND ACCESS IN STEM. LEGACY OCEAN DRILLING PROGRAM SITE 745B - DRILLED DURING LEG 119 IN 1988 SOUTH OF THE POLAR FRONT IN THE INDIAN OCEAN SECTOR OF THE SOUTHERN OCEAN - PROVIDES A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY PALEOCLIMATE AT THE FULL ORBITAL SCALE BACK INTO THE LATE MIOCENE (SHIPBOARD SCIENTIFIC PARTY, 1989) IN A VASTLY UNDERSTUDIED REGION OF THE WORLD OCEAN. INVESTIGATORS PROPOSE TO CONSTRUCT RECORDS OF ICE RAFTED DEBRIS (IRD) TO INFER ANTARCTIC ICE MARGIN DYNAMICS DURING THE EARLY PLEISTOCENE (~1.1-1.8 MA) AND DURING SPECIFIC LATE PLEISTOCENE INTERGLACIAL INTERVALS (MARINE ISOTOPE STAGES 1,5, 7, 11, AND 15). RECENTLY, ORBITAL-SCALE RESOLUTION RECORDS OF BIOGENIC OPAL AND MAGNETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY HAVE BEEN TUNED TO THE LISIECKI AND RAYMO (2005) OXYGEN ISOTOPE STACK UNLOCKING THE SITE?S FULL POTENTIAL FOR PALEOCEANOGRAPHIC RECONSTRUCTIONS. WITH THE EARLY PLIOCENE RECORD, THE TEAM WILL TEST THE HYPOTHESIS THAT THE DOMINANCE OF 41 KYR ICE VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS OBSERVED DURING THIS INTERVAL OF TIME IS AN ARTIFACT OF THE OXYGEN ISOTOPE PROXY. PRECESSION-RELATED VARIATIONS IN THE IRD RECORD WOULD SUPPORT INTERHEMISPHERIC CANCELLATION OF THE PRECESSION SIGNAL IN OXYGEN ISOTOPE RECORDS. DOMINANCE OF OBLIQUITY WOULD SUGGEST THAT FLUCTUATIONS IN MARINE-TERMINATING ICE SHEETS DID OCCUR ON THIS TIME SCALE. WITH THE LATE PLEISTOCENE INTERGLACIAL INTERVALS, WHICH CORRESPOND TO DIFFERENT AMPLITUDES OF OBLIQUITY VERSUS PRECESSION IN INSOLATION FORCING, INVESTIGATORS WILL EXAMINE THE RESPONSE OF MARINE TERMINATING ICE MARGINS UNDER THESE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AT WORK IN CHINA-AFRICA DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE: THE TAZARA RAILWAY, 1968-1986

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RUI: HNDS-R: STEPPING OUT OF FLATLAND: COMPLEX NETWORKS, TOPOLOGICAL DATA ANALYSIS, AND THE PROGRESS OF SCIENCE -SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS IS MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF NEW DISCOVERIES THAT SCIENTISTS MAKE. AS SCIENCE ADVANCES, THE AMOUNT OF PRIOR KNOWLEDGE THAT RESEARCHERS MUST MASTER TO PUSH THE FRONTIERS OF SCIENCE FORWARD HAS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. CONSEQUENTLY, SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS ARE HARDER TO ACHIEVE. THIS PROJECT USES INNOVATIVE MATHEMATICAL TOOLS TO STUDY HOW THE CHANGING SCALE AND SCOPE OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE SOCIAL ORGANIZATION OF SCIENCE MIGHT BE SLOWING THE PACE OF SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY. BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT ENCOURAGES (AND, CONVERSELY, STIFLES) SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES IS IMPORTANT FOR MAKING GOOD DECISIONS ABOUT FUTURE SCIENCE POLICY, DETERMINING FUNDING PRIORITIES, AND FIGURING OUT HOW SCIENTIFIC WORK CAN BEST BE ORGANIZED. BECAUSE THE INCREASING ?BURDEN OF KNOWLEDGE? REQUIRED FOR SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS HAS MADE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR INDIVIDUAL SCIENTISTS TO MAKE NEW DISCOVERIES, THE CREATION OF LARGER AND MORE DIVERSE RESEARCH TEAMS OF EXPERTS DEVOTED TO SOLVING COMPLEX SCIENTIFIC PROBLEMS HAS BECOME COMMON. THIS ?DIVIDE AND CONQUER? INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH HAS BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE, BUT THERE IS STILL MUCH TO LEARN ABOUT HOW KNOWLEDGE GROWTH SLOWS DISCOVERY RATES AND WHAT THE AMELIORATING OR EXACERBATING EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN THE SOCIAL ORGANIZATION OF SCIENCE ARE. THIS PROJECT BUILDS ON THE NSF-SUPPORTED EXHACT PROJECT BY APPLYING MATHEMATICAL TOOLS DRAWN FROM TOPOLOGICAL DATA ANALYSIS TO ANALYZE LARGE SCALE BIBLIOMETRIC DATA AND DATA ON GRANT PAYMENTS FROM THE UMETRICS PROJECT. THESE TOOLS PERMIT THE EXAMINATION OF THE TOPOLOGICAL STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF CONCEPT NETWORKS THAT CAPTURE WHAT SCIENCE KNOWS, WHAT IT WANTS TO KNOW, AND WHAT SCIENTISTS CURRENTLY HAVE THE PROPENSITY TO KNOW. THE PROJECT WILL HELP IDENTIFY THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE RATE AND CHARACTER OF NEW DISCOVERIES, WHETHER THE DISCOVERY RATE IS AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN RESEARCH FUNDING OR THE ORGANIZATION OF SCIENTIFIC WORK, AND HOW THESE EFFECTS VARY ACROSS TIME AND FIELDS OF INQUIRY. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

UNDERSTANDING NON-COMPUTING ADULTS IN THE WORKFORCE PRESENTS MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO DESIGN AND DEVELOP INFORMAL LEARNING PROGRAMS THAT DIFFER FROM K-12 PROGRAMS.. THE PI AND HER TEAM WILL HARNESS THE DIVERSITY OF THE REGION, ITS UNIQUE GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION, AS WELL AS MACALESTER COLLEGE?S LIBERAL ARTS SETTING, TO HOST WORKSHOPS FOR DIVERSE WORKFORCE PROFESSIONALS TO LEARN COMPUTING SKILLS THROUGH PROGRAMMING ACTIVITIES. PARTICIPANTS WILL ENGAGE IN WEEKLY WORKSHOP SESSIONS THAT CULMINATE IN AN ARTIFACT WITH THE GOAL OF EXPANDING THEIR INTERESTS IN COMPUTING BEYOND THIS INITIAL EXPLORATION. THIS PROJECT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE GOAL OF INCREASING THE COMPUTING WORKFORCE FROM A DIFFERENT PART OF THE PIPELINE THROUGH A LIFELONG LEARNING PERSPECTIVE. DURING THE PROJECT, THE PROJECT WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE BY SHARING OPEN-SOURCE MATERIALS FROM THE WORKSHOPS, BUILDING COMMUNITY, AND MENTOR EMERGING SCHOLARS FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS. FOLLOWING A DESIGN-BASED RESEARCH APPROACH, THIS PROJECT WILL DEVELOP AN INFORMAL LEARNING WORKSHOP SERIES THAT CENTERS COMPUTING SKILLS FOR DIVERSE WORKFORCE PROFESSIONALS IN THE TWIN CITIES. THE RESEARCH OBJECTIVES INCLUDE: (A) IDENTIFYING THE NEEDS OF NON-COMPUTING PROFESSIONALS IN THE TWIN CITIES AREA AND UTILIZE THE MACALESTER COLLEGE LIBRARY TO CREATE INFORMAL LEARNING SPACES; (B) DESIGN, DEVELOP, AND IMPLEMENT TWO INSTANCES OF AN INFORMAL LEARNING WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE; (C) EVALUATING THE IMPACTS USING OUR INITIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSTRUCT AS WELL AS BEHAVIORAL INDICATORS OF SKILL GAINS; (D) DEPLOYING A LARGE SCALE SURVEY STUDY TO REFINE THE PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF INSTRUMENT. THROUGH EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATIONS IN THE WORKSHOP SPACES, THIS PROJECT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO COMPUTING EDUCATION RESEARCH BY CREATING MODELS FOR DESIGN OF INFORMAL LEARNING PROGRAMS FOR OLDER ADULTS AND EXPLORE THE NEEDS OF THIS LESS STUDIED POPULATION. EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATIONS WILL TAKE PLACE IN LIBRARIES WHERE THE WORKSHOPS WILL BE HOSTED DURING THE ACADEMIC YEAR WITH A DIVERSE GROUP OF WORKFORCE PROFESSIONALS. CLASSROOM OBSERVATIONS, SURVEYS, INTERVIEWS, AND PROJECT ARTIFACTS WILL BE COLLECTED TO INVESTIGATE HOW WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS ENGAGED IN THE WORKSHOP AND CAME ABOUT SKILL GAINS. MORE IMPORTANTLY, A LONGITUDINAL APPROACH WILL REVISIT THEIR COMPUTING JOURNEYS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR COMPUTATIONAL PURSUITS AFTER THE WORKSHOPS. THIS PROJECT WILL LEAD TO THREE MAJOR RESEARCH OUTCOMES: (A) A CONCEPTUAL MODEL THAT SEEKS TO UNPACK THIS UNDERSTUDIED POPULATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE BROADER COMPUTING PIPELINE; (B) THE REFINEMENT AND VALIDATION OF A PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSTRUCT THAT AIMS TO MEASURE ONE?S ACCLIMATION OR ORIENTATION TOWARD MORE COMPUTATIONALLY-SOPHISTICATED PURSUITS THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE WORKSHOPS; AND (C) DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRACTITIONERS LOOKING TO IMPLEMENT THESE SPECIFIC PROGRAMS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF CLINOPYROXENE GROWTH AND SECTOR ZONING -CLINOPYROXENE IS A MAJOR ROCK-FORMING MINERAL ON EARTH AND OTHER ROCKY PLANETS, AND ONE OF THE FIRST SOLIDS CRYSTALLIZED BY HIGH TEMPERATURE MAGMAS AND LAVAS. IN THEORY, THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND THE CRYSTAL SHAPE OF CLINOPYROXENE CAN BE USED TO EXTRACT INFORMATION ABOUT THE LIQUID FROM WHICH THE MINERAL FORMED (E.G., TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE, COMPOSITION). WHEN STUDYING ROCK SAMPLES, THE ACCURACY OF SUCH MARKERS IS CRITICAL IN DECIPHERING THE DYNAMICS OF A LARGE NUMBER OF VOLCANIC AND MAGMATIC SYSTEMS, BOTH ON EARTH AND OTHER PLANETARY BODIES. HOWEVER, THE CRYSTALLIZATION PROCESSES OF CLINOPYROXENE ARE COMPLEX AND STILL POORLY UNDERSTOOD, WHICH HAMPERS ITS POTENTIAL AS A TRACER OF MAGMAS. THE PROPOSED WORK AIMS TO REFINE THE CRYSTALLIZATION PROCESSES OF CLINOPYROXENE USING A COMBINATION OF LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS AND ADVANCED ANALYTICAL METHODS. THESE RESULTS WILL COMPLETE PREVIOUS DATASETS, PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS ON THE MINERAL AT THE MICROSCOPIC SCALE, AND PAVE THE WAY FOR NEW RESEARCH AVENUES. THE TASKS WILL NURTURE A COLLABORATION BETWEEN THREE ACADEMIC INSTITUTES WITH PREMIER EXPERIMENTAL PETROLOGY LABORATORIES (BROWN UNIVERSITY, THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII, AND THE UNIVERSITE DE LORRAINE), SUPPORT THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TWO EARLY-CAREER RESEARCHERS, AND PROVIDE A RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY FOR THREE UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS. CLINOPYROXENE IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPLEX IGNEOUS MINERALS IN TERMS OF ITS VARIABILITY IN TEXTURE AND CHEMICAL ZONING. EVEN TODAY, ITS INTRICATE COMPLEXITY STANDS AS A SIGNIFICANT ROADBLOCK TO RECONSTRUCTING THE HISTORY OF CLINOPYROXENE-BEARING MAGMAS. THE RATIONALE FOR THIS PROJECT STEMS FROM FORMER CHARACTERIZATIONS OF NATURAL SAMPLES BEARING COMPLEX SECTOR ZONING, AND PREVIOUS EXPERIMENTS ON CLINOPYROXENE + MELT SYSTEMS. THIS NEW WORK WILL EXPLOIT A TRIO OF EXPERIMENTAL APPARATUSES TO ADDRESS A BROAD RANGE OF CRYSTALLIZATION CONDITIONS: HEATING STAGE MICROSCOPE, 1-ATM GAS MIXING FURNACE, AND PISTON CYLINDER. THE INVESTIGATIONS WILL FOCUS ON MAJOR- AND TRACE-ELEMENT COMPOSITION (IN FINE-SCALE DETAIL TO CAPTURE INTRICATE ZONING), GROWTH FEATURES (HABITS, MELT AND SOLID INCLUSIONS, CRYSTAL DEFECTS) AND THE CRYSTALLIZATION KINETICS OF CLINOPYROXENE DURING THE COOLING OF SYNTHETIC AND NATURAL MELTS. THE EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTS WILL BE ANALYZED USING OPTICAL, ELECTRON PROBE, AND TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPIES, AND LASER ABLATION INDUCTIVELY COUPLED MASS SPECTROMETRY. THE OVERARCHING GOALS ARE: TO DOCUMENT THE TEXTURAL VARIATION OF CLINOPYROXENE AT VARIOUS PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, AND COOLING CONDITIONS; TO ESTABLISH THE CONDITIONS (COOLING RATE, UNDERCOOLING, MELT COMPOSITION) AT WHICH SECTOR ZONING OCCURS; AND TO EXAMINE MAJOR- AND TRACE-ELEMENT PARTITIONING BETWEEN CLINOPYROXENE AND MELT, AND BETWEEN SECTORS IN CLINOPYROXENE. THESE GOALS ARE INTENDED TO ADVANCE THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF CLINOPYROXENE THERMOBAROMETRY, BY ESTABLISHING WHICH SECTORS AND ELEMENTS FAITHFULLY RECORD MAGMATIC PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.
