We describe a new tide model for the seas surrounding Antarctica, including the ocean cavities under the floating ice shelves. The model uses data assimilation to improve its fit to available data. Typical peak-to-peak tide ranges on ice shelves are 1-2 m but can exceed 3 m for the Filchner-Ronne...
As a targeted attack is unfolding against LGBTQ+ people across the U.S. right now, the unique experiences of queer and trans people deserve more attention. Transgender people are subjected to unique forms of discrimination and marginalization through cisnormativity (i.e., the assumption that everyone is and should be cisgender) and transnormativity...
Parents shape their adolescents’ gender role attitudes through the process of gender role socialization. How parents socialize their adolescent’s gender role attitudes has long-lasting impacts on how youth navigate social relationships, envision work and family roles, and enforce or reject gender stereotypes. Adolescence is a period in which romantic interests,...
Legumes are defined as the immature, germinated, or mature edible seeds of legume plants (Fabaceae). The primarily consumed legumes are dry beans, dry peas, lentils, chickpeas, cowpeas, fava beans, and pigeon peas, which are grouped as mature legumes, green beans and peas, which are considered green legumes, and sprouted or...

Wave setup and swash statistics were calculated from 154 runup time series steep beach under incident waves varying from 0.4 to 4.0 m significant wave height. incident wave height, setup, swash height, and total runup (the sum of setup and were found to vary linearly with the surf zone similarity...
The floating ice shelf of Petermann glacier interacts directly with the ocean and is thought to lose at least 80% of its mass through basal melting. Based on three opportunistic ocean surveys in Petermann Fjord we describe the basic oceanography: the circulation at the fjord mouth, the hydrographic structure beneath...
When microzooplankton graze phytoplankton prey, the consumed carbon is partitioned into particulates, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and CO2. Allocation of prey carbon to these various fates has important consequences for marine ecosystem function. A 2-stage continuous culture system was used to investigate carbon allocation by microzooplankton consuming phytoplankton grown in...
One year of collocated, rain-free normalized backscatter cross-section measurements from the Tropical Rainfall Mapping Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) and wind speed estimates from the TRMM Microwave Imager are used to construct fully empirical model functions relating cross section to wind speed for incidence angles from 0° (nadir) to 18°....
Measurements of cross-shore flow were made across the surf zone during a storm as a nearshore bar became better developed and migrated offshore.

Semidiurnal velocity and density oscillations are examined over the mid- and inner continental shelf near Heceta Bank on the Oregon coast. Measurements from two long-term observation networks with sites on and off the submarine bank reveal that both baroclinic velocities and displacements are dominated by the first mode, with larger...
Across animal taxa, migration allows individuals to exploit habitats and resources that predictably vary seasonally in suitability. Theory predicts that the ‘‘decision’’ to migrate or not is shaped by the relative fitness costs and benefits of exhibiting a given life history. Adoption of a migratory strategy is widely thought to...
We present a general approach for optimizing the diffraction efficiency of a phase-type spatial light modulator (SLM). While the SLM displays a one-dimensional phase grating, the phase shift of one pixel in the grating is varied and the first-order diffraction efficiency is measured. This is repeated pixel-by-pixel to find the...
A wave-structure interaction model is implemented, and power output estimates are made for a simplified wave energy converter operating in measured spectral wave conditions.
