Mali flora images
User Collection
- Creator:
- Heath, Jeffrey G.
- Description:
- These images of plants, in nature or as fresh or dried specimens, were made in conjunction with research on languages of the Dogon and Bozo families, along with the isolated language Bangime, in Central Mali between 2006 and 2023. (See also the work "Dogon and Bangime flora terms from central Mali (2023)" in Deep Blue Data: https://doi.org/10.7302/34vf-jk03. The late Pierre Poilecot of CNRS (Montpellier, France) provided invaluable help in the early days. However, I am responsible for the determinations (including taxonomic updates), and I am not a professional botanist. The images range from poor to excellent technical quality. They may be of use for two purposes: a) acquiring a basic knowledge of the flora of the area, for newcomers; b) as vouchers for the determinations in my lexical spreadsheets on the various languages. While the main burst of taxonomic changes due to molecular studies has probably leveled off as of 2023, some revisions at all levels (family, genus, species) will occur over time. The African Flowering Plant Database at url https://africanplantdatabase.ch is especially useful for updates/synonymies at the species level, but tends to lag behind on revisions at the family level., Each "work" for flowering plants in this collection has the title "Mali flora images X" where X is the name of a botanical family. Users who enter at the collection level should search by family (from Acanthacaceae to Zypɣophyllaceae). Large families Poaceae, Malvaceae, and Fabaceae are divided into two or more works, but they will all show up in search results for the family. There is one work for non-flowering plants with title "Mali aa fern fungus lichen images"., Within each work, the individual images have file names like these: fl_Amaranthaceae_Celosia_trigyna_Beni_10_2011_fl_50035_JH.JPG fl_Lamiaceae_Hoslundia_opposita_Barato_09_2021_piripirinaw_03_fol_fr_JH.JPG fl_Zygophyllaceae_Tribulus_terrestris_Sevare_patch_50672_JH.tif fl_Fabaceae_Caesalpinioideae_mimosoid_Vachellia_(or_Acacia)_nilotica fuwON_1_Barato_09_2021_entire_JH.JPG They begin with "fl" for flora, the family, the genus, and the species epithet. For Fabaceae, the subfamily and if relevant "mimosoid" (part of subfamily Caesalpinioideae) precedes the genus. These items are separated by underlines (important to note if searching for a genus-species binomial). The remaining items were mostly for my own use. They may include a location (on which see the following paragraph), the date, a crude representation (without IPA symbols or diacritics) of a native name, a five-digit code for my use, a photo number like "2" for the same plant, "JH" to indicate that the image was taken by me or by a member of a project I directed, jpg or occasionally tif for forrmat, and an indicator of what part of the plant is shown: entire, bark, fl[ower], fol[iage], lf (leaf), fr[uit], tr[unk], br[anch], th[orn]. File names can be quite long especially for Fabaceae because of the subfamily names. In lists of files under such works, the file name may be shown in abbreviated form (with ellipsis ...) so that the genus and species terms may not be visible. The only way to find files for a particular species is by searching for that species. Alternatively, all of the files in a work can be downloaded in zip form and users can then see complete file names. The readme's for each work list the included species. , Most of the locations indicated are in the Dogon-speaking area, which includes cliffs, high plateaus, inselbergs, sandy plains, seasonal rivers, and small ponds. Dogon locations include Beni, Tupere, Ségué, Bendiely, Dianwely, Anda, Walo, and Tongo Tongo, among others. The inselbergs and adjoining plains of the montane Songhay are represented mainly by Hombori and Kikara. The Niger and Bani river zone from Mopti to Segou, a mainly Bozo-speaking area that features seasonal floodplains, is represented mainly by Djenne, Barato, and Kolongo. , and Some of these plants are featured in documentary-style videos. There are two collections of such videos from Mali in Deep Blue Data: Mali documentary videos from 2023 - https://doi.org/10.7302/4851-2c52 Central Mali documentary videos - https://doi.org/10.7302/4jg9-j095 Additional flora-related videos from Mali may be archived at a later date. Some fauna images may also be archived at a later date. The various Mali collections (flora, videos) will be paralleled in time by comparable collections for southwestern Burkina Faso, and small collections for north-central Côte d'Ivoire, all in Deep Blue Data.

Burkina Faso documentary videos
User Collection
- Creator:
- Heath, Jeffrey G.
- Description:
- This is a collection of mostly short documentary-style videos related to linguistic fieldwork in southwestern Burkina Faso. The initial batch consists of videos produced in 2023, and others will be added. Versions of some of these videos overdubbed in native languages will also be produced for local consumption in Burkina. Most of the videos document everyday practical activities; some also feature useful native plants and insects. This collection is parallel to collections of videos from neighboring Mali: see "Central Mali documentary videos" (with documentaries produced up to 2018) and "Mali documentary videos from 2023 on" for the newer ones. A small collection from north-central Côte d'Ivoire is also in the works. Within each collection, the videos are organized into "works" based on the general type of activity documented.

ABC Baby Study
User Collection
- Creator:
- Lumeng, Julie C
- Description:
- The primary goal of this project was to identify domains of infant eating behavior and their trajectories over the first year of life. A convenience sample of 284 mother-infant dyads was recruited and enrolled from communities within a 1-hour driving distance of Ann Arbor, Michigan, via social media; flyers in outpatient pediatric clinics and community settings; and targeted outreach by telephone, email, and mail to pregnant women and mothers of newborn infants receiving care within the University of Michigan health system between October 2015 and February 2019. The planned sample size was based on a priori power calculations anticipating 3-5 eating behavior factors, each with 3 different trajectories, providing 81% power to detect a 10% or more change in the likelihood of exhibiting one of an anticipated 3 trajectory patterns of infant growth; the ultimate sample size of 284 was based on feasibility related to recruitment and retention. , The study included a repeated-measures, within-participant experimental design embedded within a longitudinal observational cohort study. The goal was to examine the development of infant eating behavior longitudinally at ages 0.5, 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 months based on data collected from questionnaires, eating behavior experiments, and anthropometry via home visits by trained research staff. The study was described to participants as seeking to understand infant eating behavior and interactions between mothers and babies in the first year after birth. Inclusion criteria were gestational age of 37.0 to 42.0 weeks, weight appropriate for gestational age, no significant perinatal or neonatal complications, biological mother was the legal and custodial guardian, and infant’s having had consumed 2 oz or more in 1 feeding from an artificial nipple at least once per week. Exclusion criteria were mother not fluent in English; mother younger than 18 years; infant medical problems or diagnosis affecting current or future eating, growth, or development; or child protective services involvement. Mothers provided written informed consent for themselves and their infants. The study was approved by the University of Michigan institutional review board. To facilitate recruitment, dyads could be enrolled at 1 of 3 age points up to and including age 4 months; data collected at enrollment are referred to as baseline. , and Mothers responded to questionnaires on demographics, psychosocial stress, perinatal history, feeding behaviors and practices, sleep, their own eating behaviors, infant temperament, their own and the infant’s diet, and infant eating behaviors. Maternal and infant anthropometry was measured by trained research assistants. Mother-infant dyads participated in protocols designed to measure infant response to sucrose, infant ability to delay gratification, infant response to a challenging feeding, the relative reinforcing value of food, eating in the absence of hunger, capacity for regulation of energy intake in response to more frequent feedings and in response to increased caloric density, and response to novel and familiar foods. Maternal feeding behaviors were also coded from video. Biological samples included infant stool and maternal breastmilk.

Resources for Training Machine Learning Algorithms Using CAM6 Simple Physics Packages
User Collection
- Creator:
- Limon, Garrett
- Description:
- The collection contains the code and the data used to train machine learning algorithms to emulate simplified physical parameterizations within the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM6). CAM6 is the atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) within the Community Earth System Model (CESM) framework, developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). GCMs are made up of a dynamical core, responsible for the geophysical fluid flow calculations, and physical parameterization schemes, which estimate various unresolved processes. Simple physics schemes were used to train both random forests and neural networks in the interest of exploring the feasibility of machine learning techniques being used in conjunction with the dynamical core for improved efficiency of future climate and weather models. The results of the research show that various physical forcing tendencies and precipitation rates can be effectively emulated by the machine learning models.

F3UEL: Flaring & Fossil Fuels: Uncovering Emissions & Losses
User Collection
- Creator:
- Kort, Eric and Plant, Genevieve
- Description:
- Fossil energy production, processing, flaring, and transmission all can harm climate and air quality by emitting greenhouse gases and air pollutants. Studies now show that onshore oil and gas production emit much more methane than what is inventoried, and that local air quality impacts can be significant, however, natural gas flaring and offshore systems have been largely overlooked. The F3UEL (Flaring & Fossil Fuels: Uncovering Emissions & Losses) project aims to address these gaps by improving our understanding of offshore emissions, characterizing how flares behave in the real world, identifying what portion of the offshore system is responsible for emissions, and determining how such systems can be monitored. Spanning three years (2020-2022), the project employed an aircraft platform to measure including both greenhouse gas and air quality measurements. To sample the largest regions of current and potential future offshore production and flaring, airborne measurements targeted the Gulf of Mexico, offshore California and Alaska, the Bakken Formation (North Dakota) and the Permian and Eagle Ford Basins (Texas). Data provided here includes the airborne measurements collected using Scientific Aviation’s Mooney aircraft platform, equipped with spectroscopic instrumentation to measure methane, carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and nitrogen oxide, in addition to meteorological variables such as wind speed and direction. Data products from our analysis of these airborne measurements are also provided, including estimated flare destruction removal efficiency for the Bakken, Eagle Ford, and Permian basins. Each data file is in .csv format and is accompanied by a readme file with further information and descriptors of the variables included. All users should cite the papers and datasets provided in the readme files for each individual dataset. Website: https://graham.umich.edu/f3uel This project is funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation with additional support from the Environmental Defense Fund, Scientific Aviation, and University of Michigan (College of Engineering, Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering; Graham Sustainability Institute).

Projekti Arkeologjik i Shkodrës (PASH)
User Collection
- Creator:
- Galaty, Michael
- Description:
- The data presented here were collected in the course of archaeological survey and excavation in the region of Shkodër in northern Albania, carried out between 2010 and 2014, with a follow-up visit in 2016. The Projekti Arkeologjik i Shkodrës (PASH) was co-directed by Michael L. Galaty (University of Michigan) and Lorenc Bejko (University of Tirana) and was sponsored by the United States National Science Foundation (NSF BCS1220016), The University of Tirana, Millsaps College, Mississippi State University, and the University of Michigan. The data presented here accompany a two-volume research report, published by the University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology Press (Galaty and Bejko 2023) - Volume 1 ( https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.12201317) and Volume 2 ( https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.12208577)., The county (Alb. qarqe) of Shkodër is located in northern Albania. It is bordered to the south by the Adriatic Sea and to the northwest by the country of Montenegro. The counties of Lezhë and Kukës are situated to the south and east, respectively. Shkodër Lake is situated along the border with Montenegro. It is the largest freshwater lake in the Balkans. The city of Shkodër is the fifth largest in Albania. It was founded in the Bronze Age and became a Roman colony in 168 BC, following the Illyrian Wars. Several major rivers intersect at Shkodër, including the Buna, which exits Shkodër Lake, the Drin, and the Kir. The latter two rivers flow from the Bjeshkët e Nemuna, the Albanian Alps, and provide access across the mountains, to the Balkan interior, including metal-rich Kosovo. Several very important ancient sites are located to the south of Shkodër, close to the Adriatic coast: Lezhë (ancient Lissus), Apollonia, and Durrës (ancient Epidamnus, Dyrrachium under the Romans). The latter two cities were Greek colonies, founded during the Archaic period. All three became Roman colonies., and PASH was designed to investigate shifts, through time, in Shkodër towards increased social stratification and hierarchy. These shifts commenced during prehistory and are marked by two dramatic changes in the regional landscape: new settlement in defensible “hillforts” and burial in rock and earth mounds. We wondered what factors – environment, settlement, status, conflict, subsistence, trade, migration – might have allowed or encouraged these changes.

Bozo languages of Mali (spreadsheets, media)
User Collection
- Creator:
- Heath, Jeffrey G.
- Description:
- This collection will archive lexical spreadsheets, audio files, geographic information, images, and videos that complement the reference grammars in pdf and docx form in the collection “Bozo languages of Mali (documents)” that are archived in Deep Blue Documents ( https://dx.doi.org/10.7302/6632). See the “readme” for that collection and the introductory material in the reference grammars for general information about the languages and the fieldwork., The initial material archived in the present collection consists of audio files. They are recordings of narratives, interviews, and conversations. Some of them have been transcribed and are presented as appendices in the reference grammars. Others have not been transcribed; they are presented here in the hope that they can eventually be transcribed or at least listened to by native speakers. If the author is able to transcribe some of them in the future, the transcriptions will be added here (and to the Deep Blue Documents collection)., Many of the recordings, as well as most of the images and videos to be added to this collection, have been made by project assistant Minkailou Djiguiba. He has courageously traveled into Bozo-speaking zones, some of which are highly insecure, to do this work. In addition, he has been instrumental in recruiting and transporting Bozo speakers to the author’s base in Bobo Dioulasso where much of the grammatical and lexical work has been done., and The author’s fieldwork is supported by grant PD-1941828 (2020-2024) from the National Science Foundation, Documenting Endangered Languages program, which is also supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

- Description:
- The PASH Data Collection is comprised of Five data “realms”: 1) Survey and site data, 2) Settlement excavations, 3) Tumulus (burial mound) survey and excavations, 4) Artifact analysis, and 5) Geological data. All of the geological data from cores and auger holes have been made available in PASH Deep Blue Data Realm 5. , Much of the work conducted by PASH took place on a geomorphic feature we call the Shtoj alluvial fan. Geological research was done along the distal margins of the Shtoj alluvial fan in the fringing freshwater wetlands of Shkodër Lake. Field reconnaissance in 2010 consisted of drilling twelve 5-cm diameter auger holes across the fan to a maximum depth of 4.8 m. A composite sediment sample was collected every 0.3 m during drilling. Between 2012 and 2014, sediment cores were taken at four wetland locations on the southeastern shore of Shkodër Lake. North-south trending core locations were selected following results of samples collected during the 2010 reconnaissance and are 1 km east of the Shkodër Lake shoreline. Twenty-two cores, ranging in length from 0.24 m to 0.87 m, were taken from four sites using a 6.3-cm diameter polycarbonate piston corer. , and (See readme in Geological Data record for full documentation; Chapter linked to: Chapter Two).
