C-IMAGE data (C-IMAGE Collection)

The Center for the Integrated Modeling and Analysis of the Gulf Ecosystem (C-IMAGE)

The Center for Integrated Modeling and Analysis of Gulf Ecosystems (C-IMAGE) was a research consortium of 19 U.S. and international partners focused on effects of oil spills on marine environments. The C-IMAGE consortium completed an unprecedented study of the Deepwater Horizon blowout of 2010 through funding from the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI). The overarching objective of C-IMAGE was to advance understanding of marine blowouts as response agencies and production companies were underprepared to deal with the unique challenges of Deepwater Horizon. Data is made freely available to ensure society is better prepared to mitigate any future occurrences.

Projects from C-IMAGE I included ecosystem modeling based on biological, chemical, and physical data sets, marine resource assessments of ichthyoplankton, fish, and marine mammals, oil and dispersant toxicology, simulating high-pressure environments and their effects on fluids, and sediment analysis of oil-affected areas of the sea floor.

C-IMAGE II focused on Six Tasks covering a range of research areas including deep-ocean environments, sediment deposition, and plankton and fish species toxicity.

C-IMAGE III focused on GoMRI Research Themes 2 and 3: chemical evolution and biological degradation of the petroleum/dispersant systems and subsequent interaction with coastal, open-ocean, and deep-water ecosystems (Theme 2); and environmental effects of the petroleum/dispersant system on the sea floor, water column, coastal waters, beach sediments, wetlands, marshes, and organisms; and the science of ecosystem recovery (Theme 3).

The University of South Florida served as the host institution for C-IMAGE under the direction of Principle Investigator Dr. Steven Murawski, Assistant Director Sherryl Gilbert and Chief Science Officer Dr. David Hollander. The data in this repository contains the work of USF researchers. To view data from across GRIIDC’s research groups, please visit GRIIDC’s dataset monitoring webpage.

Crow's Nest (USF St. Petersburg campus University History: Campus Publications)

The first issue of The Crow's Nest, which was originally known as the Bay Campus Bulletin, was published on October 30, 1969.

By mid-October 1970, the paper was renamed The Crow's Nest to give the paper an identity that fit in well with the small but growing campus along Bayboro Harbor. The Crow's Nest ceased publication from the summer of 1989 through the fall of 1991. Since 1991, the paper has generally appeared as monthly, semiweekly, or weekly issues during the fall and spring academic semesters. The paper has existed in many printed formats, including single-sheet mimeographed broadsides, small fliers, and traditional newspaper issues. Some later issues have variations of volume and issue numbers.

We would like to thank J.M. "Sudsy" Tschiderer for donating her collection of early issues of The Crow's Nest to the library. Since her days as a student in the late 1960s, Sudsy has played a paramount role in the development of student leadership on campus. She served as a founding member of the Student Activities office and worked in the Division of Student Affairs for nearly twenty-six years before working in other areas of the USF St. Petersburg campus. A USFSP graduate and staff member with an avid interest in journalism, Sudsy contributed to a number of campus publications, including The Crow's Nest which she helped establish in 1969.

The Inside, Outside, and Upside Downs of Children's Literature: From Poets and Pop-ups to Princesses and Porridge (Teaching and Learning)

Children's literature is written for children and youth, but the analysis of children's literature requires careful attention to text as well insightful interpretation of the ways in which authors and illustrators present the human condition, the physical world, imaginative experiences, and global forces. Children's literature is also a $4-billion-a-year industry that impacts social practices, politics, financial markets, schools, literacy rates, history, and art. Whatever the reason for your interest, children's literature is a big deal.
