  • Dig Sites and Domesticity: Jessie Camp and the 1947 University of California Africa Expedition

    Creator:
    Fraas, Picabo K.
    Abstract:
    In 1947, scientists from the University of California departed for a fifteen-month expedition to Africa. Jessie Camp, wife of the head paleontologist Dr. Charles L. Camp, had no official position on the expedition. Yet in performing her traditional domestic duties, she greatly contributed to the overall success of the expedition....

  • Becoming birds: community scientists, place, and critical socio-ecoliteracy

    Creator:
    Wicks, Teresa O.
    Abstract:
    Community science (also called citizen science) has become an increasingly popular data collection technique for scientists researching nature at a large scale. Many ecologists have also looked to community science as a method for educating the public about science. Over the past several decades, researchers have attempted to define an...

  • Democratizing the Data Stream: Creating an Equitable Transfer of Research Vessel Data from Scientist to Student

    Creator:
    Nolan, Hannah L.
    Abstract:
    With the emergence of big data and the Open Data Movement, and the wide availability to the public of large databases, Data Literacy is a necessary learning goal for students. Understanding the data process in its entirety is now a vital skillset required across industry, government, and scientific disciplines. The...

  • Exploring Roles for Scientists and Simulation Models in Collaborative, Science-Based Ecosystem Restoration

    Creator:
    Hughes, John
    Abstract:
    The U.S. Forest Service’s Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) seeks to encourage collaborative, science-based ecosystem restoration of forest landscapes. Many theorists note a tension between participatory approaches in governance and the certainty and control that science is said to offer. This research explores how collaboration and science are currently...

  • Exploring the Relationship Between Scientists’ Perspectives on Learning and Engagement in Outreach

    Creator:
    Barthel, Cèleste Frazier
    Abstract:
    Over the last several decades, there has been a marked increase in the amount of science outreach to the public with little attention paid to how scientists who conduct outreach perceive learning and how that applies to their outreach activities. This increase in outreach efforts is linked to the National...

  • Distributed OpenCL : a platform for distributed, heterogeneous computing for domain scientists

    Creator:
    Dillon, William H.
    Abstract:
    It is possible to purchase, for as little as $10,000, a cluster of computers with the capability to rival the supercomputers of only a few years ago. Now, users that have little to no experience developing distributed applications or managing a cluster are in a position to do so. To...

  • The Scientist’s Imagination: Cold War Politics and Nuclear Futures in Leo Szilard’s Fact and Fiction

    Creator:
    Dvorak, Anna Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    The story of Leo Szilard has not been told in its full complexity. This is especially so of the role imagination played in Szilard’s worldview. Szilard, like many other scientists in the mid-twentieth century, worked on the Manhattan Project. Like these other wartime participants, the work and relationships formed during...

  • Communicating oceanographic research through film : the role of film in helping scientists develop and meet their broader impacts goals

    Creator:
    Madlener, Saskia D.
    Abstract:
    Funding agencies, specifically the National Science Foundation (NSF), are placing particular emphasis on the societal relevance and broader applications of scientific research, otherwise known as Broader Impacts (BIs). Scientists are required to address the BIs merit review criterion in their research proposals or they will not get funded. However, many...

  • Mars and Popular Astronomy, 1890-1910

    Creator:
    Simpson, Emily M.
    Abstract:
    Beginning in the late-nineteenth century, several dialogues emerged concerning life on Mars. Some supported the notion of an inhabited Mars, citing recent observations of the planet, while others, pointing to a lack of concrete evidence, denied the validity of such a bold hypothesis. The dialogues within and between different...

  • Co-producing Software for Environmental and Ecological Visualization

    Creator:
    Zanocco, Chad
    Abstract:
    Environmental scientists, land managers, and policy actors are increasingly presented with high-stakes high-uncertainty problems stemming from human-ecosystem interactions. To help address these problems, scientists frequently use models that produce enormous geospatial and temporal datasets that are constantly modified and often seek input from communities outside their discipline. To assist scientists—as...
