AI Tools provides a comprehensive introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) for students of all disciplines. The course introduces students to various AI tools that can enhance their academic performance and overall college experience. Students will learn how to leverage AI technologies to improve study habits, enhance research skills, and augment their creativity. Through interactive sessions and hands-on activities, students will gain practical knowledge and skills to use AI tools for academic and personal success in college.Fri, Jan 31, AI Tools: For ResearchersFri, Feb 07, AI Tools: Personal ProductivityFri, Feb 14, AI Tools: WritingFri, Feb 21, AI Tools: Image and ArtFri, Feb 28, AI Tools: For ResearchersFri, Mar 07, AI Tools: ProgrammingFri, Mar 21, AI Tools: Video + Music

This is a virtual time of discussing and sharing EdTech ideas, strategies, or inklings you bring to this virtual open forum. Each month we offer this time to discuss various topics. This is open discussion, so if there is a curiosity or pressing matter come and drop in. There is a email group to receive notices, and we are building an online discussion forum to extend the topics beyond the in-person meetings. Each month a reminder email will be sent and where applicable it will include an article, research paper, weblink or other resource to frame the topic and initial conversations, but conversations may wander to other topics. We look forward to chatting with you.Zoom Link: https://uri-edu.zoom.us/j/98596492297?pwd=j7zHd3cdMLyrPdnI2NGgUDK6XTJgWS.1PW 912345

Title: Fine scale ocean features influence the spatial structure of a coastal marine food webPresenter: Dr. Jacquelyn Veatch, Postdoctoral Fellow at Woods Hole Oceanographic InstituteAbstract: The patchy distribution of prey in marine environments has a large effect on upper trophic level foraging strategies and distributions. While currents can disperse or concentrate low-motility plankton into patches that reflect the dynamic fluid environments they inhabit, it remains unclear whether surface flows affect motile zooplankton. Here, we used an in-situ optical dataset to detect phytoplankton patches, active acoustics to observe krill, and GPS-tagged penguins to observe three levels of the food web. These data allowed us to investigate whether the local food web overlaps with small-scale surface transport patterns as evidence that dynamic flows structure marine food webs. In Palmer Deep Canyon, Antarctica, we deployed High Frequency radars to measure hourly ocean surface currents, which were subsequently applied to estimate attractive Lagrangian Coherent Structures. We found that phytoplankton patches, Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) and gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) were preferentially located in attracting Lagrangian Coherent Structure features. These results provide evidence that Lagrangian Coherent Structures act as hotspots for prey and associated foraging predators, thus spatially focusing the food web. Results highlight the role of small-scale currents in food web focusing and the importance of transport features in maintaining the Palmer Deep Canyon ecosystem.
