The datasets of this archive are produced for a research project on the development of an advanced hydrologic modeling system for the St. Lawrence river basin. The outputted datasets from model simulations are in Netcdf 4 format. The author recommend using the netCDF Operators (NCO) program for data processing. For visualization and plotting, the author recommend using software like MATLAB, Python or R.
As discussion and debates on the digital humanities continue among scholars, so too does discussion about how academic libraries can and should support this scholarship. Through interviews with digital humanities scholars and academic librarians within the Center for Institutional Cooperation, this study aims to explore some points of common perspective and underlying tensions in research relationships. Qualitative interviews revealed that, while both groups are enthusiastic about the future of faculty-librarian collaboration on digital scholarship, there remain certain tensions about the role of the library and the librarian. Scholars appreciate the specialized expertise of librarians, especially in metadata and special collections, but they can take a more active stance in utilizing current library resources or vocalizing their needs for other resources. This expertise and these services can be leveraged to make the library an active and equal partner in research. Additionally, libraries should address internal issues, such as training and re-skilling librarians as necessary; better-coordinated outreach to academic departments is also needed.

The survey questions were organized in the following categories:
- demographics: age, gender identity, race, ethnicity, and country of birth
- education: degree type and date earned, STEM area
- employment field, employer information, title, job duties
- measures of productivity including research, grant, patents and site/workplace/lab access
- work/life balance: responsibilities and duties
Questions regarding productivity and work/life balance queried pre and post COVID experiences. Many questions solicited optional comments and the relevant ones are presented as a table.
This data is from a project concerned with dehydrating samples of saturated superabsorbent polymer using a centrifuge. The goal was to consider centrifugation as an energy efficient scheme to dehydrate SAP with the notion of reusing it. The data provided contains mass fractions of solvent removed through centrifugation with varied parameters.

The Michigan–Mellon Project on the Egalitarian Metropolis supported several impactful programs and initiatives. These collaborative projects developed through several mediums, primarily: faculty and student-led research, public-engaged scholarship, and community-led place-based projects.

Low-velocity accretionary wedges and sedimentary layers overlaying continental plates are widely observed in the subduction zones where historical large earthquakes have occurred. It was observed that rupture of the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake propagated to the trench with large coseismic slip on the shallow fault, but what caused the huge shallow slip remains a prominent problem., Here we explore how the two low-velocity structures, accretionary wedge and sedimentary layer, affect the coseismic slip and near-fault ground motions during the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake. Constrained by the observed seafloor deformation, we present a 2-D dynamic rupture model of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake with an accretionary wedge and a sedimentary layer. Compared to a homogeneous model with the same friction and stress parameters on the fault, we find that the co-existence of the accretionary wedge and sedimentary layer significantly enhances the shallow coseismic slip and amplifies ground accelerations near the accretionary wedge. We then investigate a plausible scenario of a smaller Tohoku-Oki earthquake when its rupture does not reach the accretionary wedge. The sedimentary layer slightly enhances the coseismic slip while the accretionary wedge has almost no influence for the smaller earthquake scenario, but both structures significantly amplify the ground accelerations on the overriding plate. , and By simulating a suite of earthquake scenarios, we suggest that the co-existence of an accretionary wedge and sedimentary layers tend to enhance coseismic slip, but the enhancement effect decreases as the up-dip limit of rupture zones terminates at a larger depth. The numerical simulations were solved using SEM2DPACK _2.3.8 ( http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/sem2d/), and simulation results were visualized by Matlab. This folder includes the input files to reproduce our simulation results and plot scripts.

1.5 years of Polar UVI data was used to construct the Feature Tracking empirical model of Auroral Precipitation (FTA). A cumulative energy grid was tracked with the energy flux and the latitude position in each MLT bin for individual images. The auroral characteristics show linear relationships with the AE index depending on the MLT region. Thus, the FTA model was constructed to describe the global energy flux and the averaged energy as a function of the AE index based on the LBHl and LBHs emissions. Compared with two other empirical models, FTA predicted more consistent aurora with the observations on 17 March 2013 at higher activity levels.
