Rainbow Beach Sediment Grain Size Analysis, Northampton, Massachusetts
No full textSee Readme file.This dataset was prepared by Brian Yellen, a research assistant professor in the Department of Earth, Geographic, and Climate Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Dr. Yellen worked in conjunction with Melissa Grader of the USFWS and colleagues to conduct the associated field sampling. This report provides information related to the substrate grain size at surveyed locations on Rainbow Beach on the Connecticut River in Northampton, MA (42.322125, -72.584928). This location is a known breeding site of the endangered puritan tiger beetle (PTB), Ellipsoptera puritana

Dam Impoundments Sediment Mass – Tributaries to the Hudson River
No full textThe README file for this data is included in the downloadable .zip file.This repository contains data from sediment cores collected during 2017-2018 from 17 impoundments that are located on tributaries to the tidal portion of the Hudson River as part of a larger NERRs collaborative project entitled Dams and Sediment on the Hudson (DaSH). A companion dataset that contains sediment core data from Hudson tidal marshes is archived at UMass Scholarworks data repository. Sediment cores collected from impoundments behind dams were recovered via piston push coring, which tends to minimize compaction and be representative of true sediment thicknesses. The general workflow for cores included (1) splitting; (2) Itrax XRF scanning; (3) subsampling cores ~10 cm spacing; (4) drying and burning samples for percent water, organic, and mineral (Dean, 1974). Combusted samples were gently disaggregated with mortar and pestle and analyzed for grain size on a Coulter Laser Particle Size Analyzer. Basal sediments were identified by low organic content and a contrast in grainsize or sediment texture with overlying pond sediment. Sediment age was constrained by the construction date of the corresponding dam, when that information was available, and by 137Cs chronology when absent. The small sediment masses present in most of these dams relative to expected masses based on regional sediment yield is representative of the small aggregate trapping of sediment by legacy mill dams in the Northeast US, highlighted in the manuscript “Watershed sediment supply and potential impacts of dam removals for an estuary,” submitted to Estuaries and Coasts in March, 2020.This work was sponsored by the National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative, which is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and managed by the University of Michigan Water Center (NAI4NOS4190145). This project was supported by Grant or Cooperative Agreement No. G12AC00001 from the U.S. Geological Survey and Department of Interior Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center fellowships for Caroline Ladlow and Brian Yellen

Hudson River Estuary Tidal Marsh Sediment Data
No full textThe README file for this data is included in the downloadable .zip file.This repository contains data from sediment cores collected at six tidal wetland complexes that are located within the Hudson River Estuary. The sites include Stockport Marsh, Esopus Delta, Tivoli North Bay, Tivoli South Bay, Vanderburgh Cove, and Iona Island Marsh. A variety of core collection tools and methods were used to collect uncompacted records, including gouge coring, Russian peat coring, and piston push coring, with the method determined by coring environment. The general workflow for cores included (1) splitting; (2) Itrax XRF scanning; (3) subsampling cores ~10 cm spacing; (4) drying and burning samples for percent water, organic, and mineral content. Gamma spectroscopy was used to identify down-core profiles of 137Cs and 210Pb in at least one representative core from each site. Relative abundance and onset of heavy metals zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) as recorded in X-ray Flourecense (XRF) data were used as additional supportive age constraint in cores. Collectively, data from these cores provide evidence within the tidal freshwater Hudson River for rapid accretion within anthropogenic tidal freshwater wetlands relative to those that developed prior to the industrial era.This work was sponsored by the National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative, which is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and managed by the University of Michigan Water Center (NAI4NOS4190145).

In Honour of Brian MacWhinney: A Personal Account
No full textWhile this volume and the writings have made it amply clear what significant contributions Professor Brian MacWhinney has made to the field at large, in this afterword, we begin with a senior member of our author team (Ping Li, PL) followed by a mid-career member (Helen Zhao, HZ) and an early career member (Zhe Gao, ZG), to provide our personal accounts of Brian not only as a leading scholar but also as a role model who touches and changes people’s lives
Interview with Brian Alleyne, Sociologist Studying KDE
No full textA few months ago, the British journal Sociology published an article titled "Challenging Code: A Sociological Reading of the KDE Free Software Project". Eager to find out what a 'sociological reading' of KDE entails, Dot editor Oriol Mirosa rushed to contact the article's author, sociologist Brian Alleyne, who graciously and patiently agreed to be the subject of an interview
Understanding Author Rights
No full textAuthor Rights is the term used to describe a researcher\u27s rights related to their published work. In this session, Brian Young will: 1) provide an overview of author rights, 2) explain language often used in the publication agreement, and 3) demonstrate a tool (Sherpa Romeo) that can be used to quickly understand what default rights you have (and lose) when you publish with a specific journal
