Using digital items, understanding ways to reduce your file size and manage your storage is critical. Large files, images,and videos slow down Brightspace, while large storage demands affect users' computer speed, live exchanges, email exchanges, and digital collaboration.Come and learn from and work alongside an IT professional how to compress different file types, manage storage effectively, and reduce unnecessary data accumulation. This workshop aims to equip faculty with practical strategies to streamline their digital workflows, ensuring faster access to information for oneself and students as well as enabling more efficient use of institutional storage resources.Register

Title: Dynamics of the Beaufort Gyre in a Changing ArcticSpeaker: Dr. Mary-Louise Timmermans, Yale UniversityAbstract: The Beaufort Gyre circulation system is a central part of the Arctic climate undergoing significant change across all environmental parameters. The talk presents two decades (2003-2024) ofintensive observations in the Beaufort Gyre to characterize its evolving freshwater and heat content, which are related to wind forcing modulated by the presence of sea ice. Following a period of sustained freshwater and heat accumulation in the first half of the record, freshwater and heat content have been declining in recent years. Trends indicate that prevailing winds are becoming less effective at spinning up the gyre and accumulating freshwater. This shift in wind forcing outweighs the influence of a weakening sea-ice pack, which is becoming less effective at spinning down the gyre. We place these findings within the broader context of Arctic change, which can help inform future projections.
