Timescales and tectonics of oceanic plateaus : long-term evolution of Ontong Java Nui and Rio Grande Rise

Creator:: Davidson, Peter C.
Abstract:: Oceanic plateaus are regions of overthickened oceanic crust and are often thought to form from the interaction of mantle plumes with oceanic lithosphere. These regions can cover vast areas of the ocean basins and represent a highly elevated magmatic flux relative to normal mid-ocean ridge spreading. Oceanic plateaus are considered...

Emergent Properties of Animal Social Networks: Five Stories in Five Systems

Creator:: Devan-Song, E. Anne
Abstract:: Animals aggregate and interact in nonuniform and nonrandom patterns, which lead to group level characteristics that have important evolutionary and ecological consequences. Network analysis provides a useful conceptual framework for linking animal interactions at all scales from dyads to communities, to populations and ecosystems. Despite exciting theoretical and applied advances...

Porous metal-organic materials for gas capture

Creator:: Rookard, Tanner Daniel
Abstract:: Metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) are discrete molecules comprised of a metal and interconnecting ligands. The resulting MOP structures are porous cages, and to date, they have shown great promise toward gas capture. Ammonia is a hazardous gas that is produced in enormous quantities for use in fertilizers. In this talk, I...
