Prof Nof earned undergraduate and Master?s degrees at the Technion Institute in Israel. He then attended the University of Wisconsin earning a PhD in 1977, followed by a Postdoctoral appointment at the University of British Columbia. He joined the research Faculty at the University of Miami in 1979, and came to Florida State in 1981. He remained at FSU until 2016, when he retired after an unexpected downturn in health. Prof Nof was known for his innovative studies in a number of areas in theoretical physical oceanography. He often focused in his career on coherent eddies and paleo-oceanography. Amongst his many recognitions perhaps the most singular was the receipt of the Fridtjof Nansen Medal from the European Geophysical Union in 2005. He was also a Named (appropriately enough, he was the Nansen Professor) and Distinguished Research Professor at the Florida State University. Later in his career, he branched out into studies of cave environments and underground aquifers. A long time cave diving enthusiast, he was involved in the exploration of the Wakulla Springs underground aquifer network. Prof Nof is survived by his son, Jordan Nof, currently a founding partner of Tusk Venture Partners in New York City. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The rooms, their locations, and intended uses, are as follows below. Room 2031: Safe Space This room can be used as space free of bias, conflict, criticism, or potentially threatening actions, ideas, or conversations. There is a phone in the room for local calls and multiple resources in print form in the room that users are also welcome to add to. Room 2041: Interfaith / Reflection Room This room is offered for private reflection or private religious use. Two yoga mats and battery-powered LED candles are available for users of the room. Room 5010: Lactation Room This is a lockable room for lactation use. The nearby lounge in 5025 has a refrigerator if needed. The key for the room can be found at the entrance to the 2nd floor administrative area and should be returned to that area after use. Each of the rooms has a two-sided sign on the outside of the door that should be flipped to indicate that the room is in use to avoid being interrupted. After use, the sign should be flipped to ?not in use? and the door should be left open. Users are asked to please leave the respective rooms after use in the state they found them or better. Finally, we take this opportunity to remind all graduate students of the two temporary-use private offices 3049 and 6051 for confidential meetings necessary for office hours, zooming, or grade discussion. There are paper calendars on the doors to make written reservations. The doors should be left open when not in use. The above descriptions of these rooms will be added to the EOAS web page. If you have any questions on the use of these rooms, or reasonable requests for additions to the contents of the rooms, don?t hesitate to reach out to us.

Combining ocean physics with Bayesian inference to attribute microplastic sources and sinks" Message-ID: _When_: November 14, 2022 at 11am _Title_: Whose plastic is that? Combining ocean physics with Bayesian inference to attribute microplastic sources and sinks _Presenter_: Eric van Sebille, professor of oceanography and public engagement at Utrecht University _Abstract_: The world's ocean currents can potentially transport material like plastic over vast scales, connecting sources on one continent to impacts on another. On the other hand, it had recently become clear that most plastics found at any particular location are relatively local, often originating from within the same country. Effective policies to reduce the impact of plastic pollution require knowledge of whose plastic ends up where.In this seminar, I will present some recent work on using a Bayesian framework to analyze the sources of plastics found on beaches around the world. The input to this analysis comes from Lagrangian ocean analysis simulations with the OceanParcels.org tool, which I will also showcase. I will particularly highlight results from the Indian Ocean, the Galapagos, the South Atlantic and the North Sea. _Short bio_: /Erik van Sebille is professor of oceanography and public engagement at Utrecht University. He investigates how ocean currents move 'stuff' around. He is co-author of the textbook 'Ocean Currents - Physical Drivers in a Changing World' with Professor Robert Marsh. Until 2022, he led the ERC Starting Grant project 'Tracking Of Plastics in Our Seas'. In parallel to his ongoing work on physical oceanography, he has recently started a new research team on how scientists can be effective and inclusive in their communication and engagement with society, specifically on the climate crisis./ Eric van Sebille will be visiting FSU and COAPS Monday November 14 to Thursday November 17.
