Energy & Environment Projects
This data expeditions module used three full course sessions to introduce undergraduate hydrology students with minimal programming background to: Public water data (water quantity and chemistry) Spatial analysis of water data 2 core, spatial datasets produced by the USGS that enable spatial analysis The programming language R R based tools for water...
A team of students led by researchers at the Duke Marine Lab will explore the changing distribution of krill around the Antarctic Peninsula. Krill are a key prey species in this ecosystem, supporting a number of animals including whales, seals, and penguins, but they are dependent on winter sea ice...
Data+ students led by Prof. Henri Gavin will develop AI models for on-site earthquake early warning, in which sensors at a site provide warnings at that site. The Data+ project will integrate into ongoing work on geophone sensors, IOT microcontrollers, and networking. The Data+ team will focus on machine learning...
This project is also part of Duke’s first Climate+ cohort. A student team working with the Energy Data Analytics Lab will work to democratize access to data relevant to climate change mitigation and adaptation planning as well as the underlying models to acquire those data. This project will work towards building the...
This project is also part of Duke’s first Climate+ cohort. A team of students led by researchers in the Hydroclimatological Lab will comprehensively quantify the wetland carbon emissions in the entire Southeast (SE) US using machine learning techniques and various climate datasets—including in situ measurements, remote sensing data, climate observations,...
This project is also part of Duke’s first Climate+ cohort. Duke Data+ students, in collaboration with Dr. Emily Bernhardt (faculty advisor) and Audrey Thellman (graduate student) will evaluate how changing ice and snow conditions are impacting river ecosystems through classified ice imagery. Currently, our team has data from 7 field...
A team of students led by researchers in the Duke River Center will develop a publicly available and accessible website to serve as a portal to explore diverse and extensive datasets detailing the quality of waterways and the effectiveness of management efforts to reduce risks associated with chemical contaminants, stormwater...
Marine mammals exhibit extreme physiological and behavioral adaptions that allow them to dive hundreds to thousands of meters underwater despite their need to breathe air at the surface. Through the development of new remote monitoring technologies, we are just beginning to understand the mechanisms by which they are able to...
Understanding of how to manipulate, analyze, and display large datasets is an essential skill in the life sciences. Introducing students to the concepts of coding languages and showing them the diversity of tasks that can be accomplished using a flexible coding scheme like R is an important step in the...
Sophie Guo, Math/PoliSci major, Bridget Dou, ECE/CompSci major, Sachet Bangia, Econ/CompSci major, and Christy Vaughn spent ten weeks studying different procedures for drawing congressional boundaries, and quantifying the effects of these procedures on the fairness of actual election results. Project Results There has already been research done with North Carolina districts, described in http://today.duke.edu/2014/10/mathofredistricting. There, Jonathan...
