Title: 2022-23 Allan Hills Intermediate Ice Core Site Selection Field Report
This unpublished report describes field activities in the 2022-23 Antarctic field season by the I-188 group within COLDEX. The main purpose of this work was to identify the final coring site for a proposed 1250 m ice core.  more » « less

    Many individuals practicing field-based research are subjected to sexual harassment and assault. This fact holds true for people engaged in archaeological field research and may be true for students who are just learning field methods while enrolled in an archaeological field school. We review some of our current research on the means of reducing and preventing sexual harassment and assault at archaeological field schools, as well as ways to create safer, more inclusive learning spaces. Additionally, we suggest that for the discipline to advance field school teaching and learning, we, as field directors, must situate ourselves as active and advocacy anthropologists: an approach that puts our students as a central focus when developing field-based pedagogy. As the authors of this work, we review our identities and positionality in conducting this research and in making meaning from the data we have collected.

    One of the most rewarding and enjoyable aspects of teaching in geography and geoscience is field instruction. Designing and implementing field experiences can be both an exciting and overwhelming prospect. The reality is that field instruction requires diligent preparation, both in and outside the classroom, if it is to provide successful and meaningful learning experiences. Many geographers and geoscientists are committed to experiential, field‑based learning and have written about both the practical and theoretical aspects of successfully teaching in the field. This chapter offers a summary of this helpful literature, while also discussing some of the authors’ experiences of “lessons learned” from teaching in the field, and the impact of the recent COVID‑19 pandemic on field instruction.

    Abstract Spin–orbit-induced (SOI) effective magnetic field in GaMnAs film with in-plane magnetic anisotropy has been investigated by planar Hall effect measurements. The presence of SOI field was identified by a shift between planar Hall resistance (PHR) hystereses observed with positive and negative currents. The difference of switching fields occurring between the two current polarities, which is determined by the strength of the SOI field, is shown to depend on the external field direction. In this paper we have developed a method for obtaining the magnitude of the SOI fields based on magnetic free energy that includes the effects of magnetic anisotropy and the SOI field. Using this approach, the SOI field for a given current density was accurately obtained by fitting to the observed dependence of the switching fields on the applied field directions. Values of the SOI field obtained with field scan PHR measurements give results that are consistent with those obtained by analyzing the angular dependence of PHR, indicating the reliability of the field scan PHR method for quantifying the SOI-field in GaMnAs films. The magnitude of the SOI field systematically increases with increasing current density, demonstrating the usefulness of SOI fields for manipulation of magnetization by current in GaMnAs films.

    Abstract Radiative torques (RATs) or mechanical torques acting on irregular grains can induce the alignment of dust grains in respect to the alignment axis (AA), which can be either the direction of the magnetic field or the direction of the radiation. We show that carbonaceous grains can be aligned with their axes both parallel and perpendicular to the AA, and we explore the conditions where the particular mode of alignment takes place. We identify a new process of alignment of charged carbonaceous grains in a turbulent, magnetized interstellar medium with respect to an electric field. This field acts on grains accelerated in a turbulent medium and gyrorotating about a magnetic field. The electric field can also arise from the temporal variations of the magnetic field strength in turbulent, compressible media. The direction of the electric field is perpendicular to the magnetic field, and the carbonaceous grains precess in the electric field because of their electric moments. If this precession is faster than Larmor precession in the magnetic field, the alignment of such grains is with their long axes parallel to the magnetic field. We explore the parameter space for which the new mechanism aligns grains with long axes parallel to the magnetic field. We compare this mechanism with another process that provides the same type of alignment, namely, the RAT alignment of grains with insufficiently fast internal relaxation. We describe the conditions for which the particular mode of carbonaceous grain alignment is realized and discuss what information can be obtained by measuring the resulting polarization.

    Field guide for field trip at Tobacco Root Geological Society's annual field conference, which for 2021 took place at ISU's Lost River Field Station near Mackay, Idaho. This field trip was focused on rocks that were part of MS Geology student Leslie Montoya's project, related to the collaborative research proposal NSF EAR #EAR-1728563. The field trip involved a trip to see newly identified Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic rocks and the Mesozoic structures that deformed them.
