Celebrate the Smart-Solar Flower delivery with Dr. Winchester

The Smart Flower Solar collector is on site at the new FSU’s Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Science (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fsu.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a562102402f5ab840074a1cc5&id=5215c3643c&e=792f743b6e__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!m-HMbM9AUlrtzKc0U-dp4YQqE1WoVD7NtIoZgc_16IXoUd7Pp3jn2B8ZsfbVXgH1GmmYYrI$ ) building. The Smart Flower was delivered, supervised by Ajax Building Corporation (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fsu.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a562102402f5ab840074a1cc5&id=f2994979b7&e=792f743b6e__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!m-HMbM9AUlrtzKc0U-dp4YQqE1WoVD7NtIoZgc_16IXoUd7Pp3jn2B8ZsfbVXgH1SoQdHss$ ) , to its new location on the first-floor roof of the large classroom extending outward from the south side of the new building.
Dr. Winchester, professor Emeritas of Oceanography at Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Science at FSU graciously donate the Smart Flower to the department. In the next few month, the Smart Flower will be totally set up and connected.



The new building should be completed this Fall. The expected date for the certificate of occupancy is November 25th, 2019. Everyone is looking forward to moving in!

Some of the highlights of the new building include:
- Robert Hutt, who recently retired from the U.S. Geological Survey’s Albuquerque, New Mexico, Seismological Laboratory and has recently relocated to Tallahassee, has donated a state-of-the-art digital seismometer to the EOAS program.

- A groundwater monitoring well will be drilled outside the new building.
-NOAA will be installing Science on a Sphere in the first floor lobby: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fsu.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a562102402f5ab840074a1cc5&id=2cf37cafff&e=792f743b6e__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!m-HMbM9AUlrtzKc0U-dp4YQqE1WoVD7NtIoZgc_16IXoUd7Pp3jn2B8ZsfbVXgH1O3xtuXU$

- FSU Master Craftsman Studio @FSU Facilities is working on the windows and arts/sculpture elements.
- Lounge rooms will be embellished with a very special gift of art donated by the painter Gabrielle Wu Lee's husband. Mrs Lee graduated from FSU Geology. Her paintings were on showcase for several exhibitions at the Florida State University Museum Of Fine Arts (MOFA): https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fsu.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a562102402f5ab840074a1cc5&id=121f0dbd87&e=792f743b6e__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!m-HMbM9AUlrtzKc0U-dp4YQqE1WoVD7NtIoZgc_16IXoUd7Pp3jn2B8ZsfbVXgH12Ndk-_4$ 

Information below : "Construction advances on state-of-the-art Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science building". By Barbara Ash - Florida State University News, April 18th 2018.
The new EOAS building will contain 18 general research labs, 10 specialized research labs and 10 computer labs. There also will be equipment shops and storage space, plus a TV studio for meteorology students. In addition, there will be a lecture hall that seats 280 people, an assembly room that seats 100, and six departmental conference rooms. The space includes 120 offices for faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.

“We are at a unique time in history with respect to the need for critical geoscience information, and EOAS is well positioned to contribute highly trained geoscience graduates and research results and solutions to deal with the immense problems facing our state, nation and the world’s population,” Tull said. “The people in our department are well positioned to contribute to, if not frame and initiate, those solutions.”

“Our faculty and students concentrate their efforts on improving our understanding of how our planet works and are very excited to be given the opportunity to perform our teaching and research missions under one roof in a new, state-of-the-art science complex,” said department chair James Tull."

“I believe supporting education for people has prospects for large future payback, as measured by the value of resulting knowledge and career advancement.  It is a good investment!”  – Prof. John Winchester

“Jack” Winchester went to high school in the western suburbs of Chicago from 1943-47. His father was a public accountant who worked in the “loop” of Chicago and his mother was a graduate of music from Knox College. Her instruments were organ and piano and she gave piano lessons to the children. She had great hopes for Jack to become a musician, but he did not inherent the talent of a performer.  Jack had one sister and one brother. His brother music talent was performing “Oldies Goldie’s”.

Jack went to undergraduate at the University of Chicago from 1947-52 and Graduate School at MIT from 1952-55. His post-doctoral work was through a Fulbright grant in Amsterdam from 1955-56 where he also learned to speak Dutch. It was a really good experience in which he continues to be interested in languages. Jack could see right away that the way to get ahead in academics was to become a specialist and develop programs with specialties. He came back from Amsterdam for an appointment at MIT for assistant professor of geochemistry where he spent the next 10 years as a faculty member. Jack then had the opportunity to join the Dept. of Meteorology and Oceanography at the University of Michigan, Arbor, in 1967.

In 1970, he took an invitation from the Florida State University of Tallahassee to chair its then quite new Department of Oceanography. One of the courses he develop with Edward Laws, a doctoral student in Chemical Physics at Harvard for the department was an undergrad Oceanography course for science majors like Geology students with a focus on “learning by doing,”  With Jack’s help, Oceanography became a great place to study and teach.

Great anecdote:
There was one standout student whom was enrolled in geology and the professors raved about him being brilliant. He took Jack’s Oceanography course which gave him a perquisite for pursing his career. This student then graduated from Florida State University and went on to Miami for his Master’s and PhD in Oceanography. From there he went on to Penn State for his career in academia, serving as the dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences and founding director of the Earth System Science Center. This student was Eric Barron who returned to FSU later as the President before returning to Penn State as their President. How cool is that?

Jack thinks everyone should make the most of solar energy as we can. We have an energy supply problem in this world and we are destroying our ecology. Humanity depends on the sun to power our global ecosystem of which humanity is a part. His hope is this Smart flower will supply a visual interest to promote solar panels.

According to his biographer : Mackenzie G. Biehl - Director of Sales and Marketing - Tapestry Senior Living Lakeshore

Mosaic September 2019: The largest Central Arctic expedition ever

In September 2019 the German research ice-breaker Polarstern will host 600 experts and researchers coming from 17 nations to make observations about the atmosphere-ice-ocean system that impacts the sea-ice mass and energy budget in the Arctic Ocean. The ship will be moored to a large ice floe and allowed to freeze-in for an entire year. The scientists will establish an ice camp around the ship to deploy sensors and collect samples throughout the next 12 months. This extraordinary expedition is run by Mosaic International Arctic Drift Expedition organization. The purpose of the observations and data collection are related to understanding, explaining, and predicting changes in the Arctic climate system.

Dr. William M. Landing, an oceanography professor at FSU department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science, will take part in the project. His team includes two other experts, Dr. David C. Kadko associate director and professor at Florida International University (FIU) (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fsu.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a562102402f5ab840074a1cc5&id=6a59544995&e=792f743b6e__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!m-HMbM9AUlrtzKc0U-dp4YQqE1WoVD7NtIoZgc_16IXoUd7Pp3jn2B8ZsfbVXgH18nywsOg$ ) and Dr. Clifton Buck assistant professor at Skidaway Institute of Oceanography (SIO) (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fsu.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a562102402f5ab840074a1cc5&id=1ef50d7220&e=792f743b6e__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!m-HMbM9AUlrtzKc0U-dp4YQqE1WoVD7NtIoZgc_16IXoUd7Pp3jn2B8ZsfbVXgH1O9jgh88$ ) . The National Science Foundation is contributing the funding to make the project real for the Florida team.

The expedition will last an entire year and the Mosaic Observatory will be deployed in and drift with the Arctic sea-ice pack starting this coming September. “By drifting with the ice in a "sea-ice Lagrangian" sense, MOSAiC will observe the atmospheric and oceanic processes that affect the sea-ice as it evolves from new first year ice to multi-year ice and eventually towards the decay stage as the ice approaches the North Atlantic sector. As such, MOSAiC will observe the full annual cycle of the sea ice.” The Expedition, https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fsu.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a562102402f5ab840074a1cc5&id=b50aaf2c2f&e=792f743b6e__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!m-HMbM9AUlrtzKc0U-dp4YQqE1WoVD7NtIoZgc_16IXoUd7Pp3jn2B8ZsfbVXgH1Z4FoZFw$ 

Dr. Landing is in charge of the atmospheric sampling equipment for his team and other experts that might use it for their observations. He is conducting meticulous preparation of the sampling gear, making sure it works and accounting for spare equipment. He is also preparing tutorial videos and instructional guides that experts will be able to use on board. Dr. Landing is also organizing the shipping to Norway as well. Dr. Kadko will be boarding the Polarstern for one 2-month leg as will his research assistant, Dr. Mark Stephens. Dr. Buck will send his postdoc Chris Marsay on another leg.

This unprecedented event will be a milestone for the Experts and Researcher’s world community. It will be an extreme challenge due to unexpected natural events such as weather conditions that could postpone observations or data collection as well as the daily grind of living in the harsh Artic conditions. Even threats from Polar Bears could be an issue.

Hold your breath and stay the course, the Mosaic Arctic adventure is about to start! We’ll keep you updated in a regular basis in EOAS’s medias.

Massive earthquakes provide new insight into deep Earth
Dr. Wenyuan Fan

Florida State University - News (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fsu.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a562102402f5ab840074a1cc5&id=bc23723c19&e=792f743b6e__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!m-HMbM9AUlrtzKc0U-dp4YQqE1WoVD7NtIoZgc_16IXoUd7Pp3jn2B8ZsfbVXgH1_mut_lQ$ )

In the waning months of 2018, two of the mightiest deep earthquakes ever recorded in human history rattled the Tonga-Fiji region of the South Pacific.

In the first-ever study of these deep earthquakes — generally defined as any earthquake occurring 350 kilometers or more below the Earth’s surface — a Florida State University-led research team characterized these significant seismological events, revealing new and surprising information about our planet’s mysterious, ever-changing interior.

Full article @ https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fsu.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a562102402f5ab840074a1cc5&id=97fc952cc4&e=792f743b6e__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!m-HMbM9AUlrtzKc0U-dp4YQqE1WoVD7NtIoZgc_16IXoUd7Pp3jn2B8ZsfbVXgH1Q8XXEGI$ 



Dr. Fan is a EOAS's newest seismologist. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Geophysics at Florida States University, Tallahassee. He obtained his Ph.D. from Scripps Institution of Oceanography (scripps.ucsd.edu), University of California, San Diego in 2017. Before taking his position at FSU, Dr. Fan was a Weston Howland Jr. Postdoctoral Scholar at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fsu.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a562102402f5ab840074a1cc5&id=573ae850f7&e=792f743b6e__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!m-HMbM9AUlrtzKc0U-dp4YQqE1WoVD7NtIoZgc_16IXoUd7Pp3jn2B8ZsfbVXgH1tvE9Cl8$ ).

Dr. Fan is interested in understanding seismic source processes, including non-earthquake sources. With large volume seismic data and novel array processing methods, Dr. Fan has shown that large earthquakes commonly dynamically trigger M5 and above aftershocks in the near-field. The results address long-standing controversies of the relative contributions of static and dynamic triggering, and have important implications for hazard assessment in regions with complex fluid-saturated fault systems, as these processes are not considered in current earthquake and tsunami warning systems. In addition to earthquakes, Dr. Fan also works on glacial quakes, landslides and submarine landslides, and tracking storm events to investigate coupled atmosphere-ocean-solid Earth interactions.


Dr. Fan is a prolific researcher, and has published in high impact journals such as Science (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fsu.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a562102402f5ab840074a1cc5&id=d494488a1f&e=792f743b6e__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!m-HMbM9AUlrtzKc0U-dp4YQqE1WoVD7NtIoZgc_16IXoUd7Pp3jn2B8ZsfbVXgH1Pjkb80k$ ) and Geophysical Research Letters (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fsu.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a562102402f5ab840074a1cc5&id=559c3eea74&e=792f743b6e__;!5Xm4_O-4tfk!m-HMbM9AUlrtzKc0U-dp4YQqE1WoVD7NtIoZgc_16IXoUd7Pp3jn2B8ZsfbVXgH1MM3wadc$ ).

Taos - New Mexico

The camp is located in a very scenic area of the Rocky Mountains where the Rio Grande Rift splits the Sangre de Christo and Brazos Mountains. Wheeler Peak (elevation 13,161 ft), the highest point in New Mexico, dominates the Taos Range and is clearly visible from our base camp near Taos. The historic community of Taos offers a unique mix of Hispanic, Native American, and Anglo cultures.

This area of the Rocky Mountains is a classic region for observing and interpreting a wide range of Earth history.
An incredibly geologically diverse landscape, experienced-enthusiastic faculty, and over 50 years of tradition teaching geosciences in the field from northern New Mexico are at the core of our Field Geology (GLY4790) course offerings at FSU.



Throughout the field course students were using a combination of traditional and modern tools and techniques to collect basic observational, structural, geophysical, and stratigraphic data in the field. In addition to traditional methods of constructing final geologic maps and cross sections students have had exposure to basic GIS & graphics software to construct final maps and cross sections for some projects.


The students had a nice little break in their schedule during a BBQ evening at Dr. Maxwell's house.
Dr. Robert W. “Bill” Maxwell Jr. attended Florida State University from 1964 to 1971, receiving a bachelor’s degree in geology in 1969 and a master’s degree in geology in 1973. He was awarded the “Graduate of Distinction” honor by the College of Arts and Sciences at Florida State in 2010.
Dr. Maxwell is one of EOAS's alumni and generously contribute to make the field camps possible.

Last July 8^th, after 48 years at FSU Bob Broedel retired from his position as Technical research designer for the department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science.

Bob took his first course at FSU in 1966 while he was in the USAF at Eglin AFB. FSU had a "bootstrap" program at Eglin where Bob was a flight simulator specialist. After completing his service he became an engineering student at FSU while on the GI Bill. Bob started working at FSU Media Center on April 24th 1971 for a short period of time. He then worked for at the Chemistry department, then moved on to the Meteorology department which became part of the Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric in 2010.

Entering Bob’s workshop at FSU tells you how much he has done for EOAS department along his career at FSU.
Lots of books and instructions notebooks, cables, computers, devices, computers and electrical components. Professors, staff and students would come see Bob for advices, for info, for materials or just for a nice chat. And they all, always, felt welcome.

He was in charge of all the research instruments and devices panels that the faculty members and students would use for their work.

People from Meteorology, Geology, Oceanography and Environmental Science are able to fulfill their researches and collect data thanks to Bob’s liability on having their tools up and running. He was also the one in charge of site preparation.

Another example of his work is related to grants that will be allocated to EOAS’ research projects. Bob would have to produced proof of concept  prototypes for several projects so that the organizations could have a concrete idea of what the money was going to be used for as prototypes are a centerpiece for getting funding.

“It was a great job. I was learning new things the whole time and I had to keep myself updated on every new hardware or computer program. That’s how you stay motivated, expanding your knowledge and skills frequently. My relationship with FSU has been a long and wonderful one” Bob said.

Passionate by micro-computers, Bob is looking forward to working with the new Raspberry Pie-4, a single board computer developed in the United Kingdom, during retirement.

Bob will be missed at the department. EOAS people wish him a great retirement fill with happiness, best wishes on the new chapter of his life.
