- 12:00 AM1:45 AMChE Grad Seminar - Elnaz Nikoumanesh, Ph.D. candidate in Chemical Engineering at the University of Rhode IslandIsolating the Yield Stress in Tunable Thixotropic EmulsionsElnaz NikoumaneshAbstract:Soft materials are characterized by an intricate interplay of structure, dynamics, and rheological properties, which makes it challenging to accurately predict their response to shear stress. Here, we investigate how the nature of colloidal bonds – electrostatic attractions, physical entanglement, physical repulsive attraction, and covalent attractions –modify the yield stressand thixotropy. We investigate the critical role played by these structural bonds and their effect on linear and nonlinear deformations. Specifically, we apply our novel rheological approach – serial creep divergence (SCD) – to accurately determine the yield transition and critical stress and to reveal the physical mechanisms that underlie yielding. This comprehensive approachprovides a detailed comparison of how these materials respond to shear stress, ultimately advancing our understanding of the intricate interplay between

While the critical role of riverine sediment in supporting tidal marsh resilience has been widely recognized, many marshes globally receive limited fluvial input. In these systems, marine-sourced sediments, delivered by waves and tides, may provide a crucial sediment supply that enhances marsh accretion and resilience to relative sea level rise. Directly measuring sediment dynamics in energetic coastal zones is challenging, and traditional satellite ocean color products, with coarse spatial resolution (~1 km), are insufficient for resolving nearshore processes at fine spatial scales. As a result, the contribution of marine sediments to marsh resilience has been underexplored. To fill this gap, this study: 1. Develops a particle composition-adaptive algorithm for high spatial resolution mapping of suspended sediments in global coastal waters using satellite observations; 2. Examines the role of marine-sourced sediment in supporting tidal marsh resilience across the Northeastern United States; 3. Analyzes global trends in coastal sediment availability and their implications for marsh vulnerability under accelerating sea level rise. Our results demonstrate the potential of satellite remote sensing to fill observational gaps and reveal the overlooked importance of marine sediment supply in maintaining tidal marsh resilience to sea level rise. This work provides new insights into sediment-driven marsh sustainability and offers a scalable approach to inform coastal restoration and climate adaptation efforts.

- 10:30 AM1hPhysical Oceanography Seminar: Dr. Shuwen TanTitle: Three-Dimensional Shoaling and Breaking of Internal Waves and Future Oceanic Implications in the Internal Surf ZoneSpeaker: Dr. Shuwen Tan, assistant professor at the University of ConnecticutAbstract: The internal surf zone, characterized by internal waves confined by water depth, exhibits dynamics analogous to the surf zone of surface gravity waves, where the waves release most of their energy and momentum through turbulent mixing, and the loss of momentum drives currents. This seminar uses idealized numerical modeling to explore the three-dimensional shoaling and breaking of internal waves in the internal surf zone with a curvature/angle of shelf bathymetry and their impacts on wave characteristics, momentum, and energy fluxes, leading to along-shore variations in energy dissipation and current generation. First, I will discuss internal solitary waves interacting with a conical island inspired by Dongsha Atoll in the South China Sea. The interaction of waves with the island results in significant energy dissipation, highest where waves directly impinge on the island and lowest on the opposite side. The curvature of the coastline excites barotropic flow, which is absent for a straight coastline. Next, we examine a straight coastline with internal waves incident at an angle. Preliminary results indicate that this configuration drives an along-shore current within the internal surf zone, analogous to the well-studied along-shore current driven by breaking surface waves. Finally, we will show that internal waves transport cooler, deeper waters into the internal surf zone, reducing warming by up to 2.3°C around the Dongsha Atoll compared to conditions without internal waves. This wave-modulated cooling is projected to continue in a warming ocean, serving as thermal refugia for benthic organisms.
