- Description:
- The IMO will be introducing new regulations in 2020 that will require ships to reduce emissions of certain greenhouse gases and combat climate change. A promising yet radical alternative to fossil fuels and other renewable energy is the use of nuclear-powered reactors in container ships and bulk carriers. Used by the U.S. Navy and other nuclear powered countries around the world, nuclear energy is an emission free energy source which provides sufficient power for shipping needs and is economically competitive with conventional shipping methods. The U.S. has the capital, technology, and other resources needed to develop a nuclear powered merchant shipping fleet. Though federal and international constraints will need to be resolved to achieve this bold idea, it is time for the U.S. to take the lead as a maritime nation for international shipping standards. and GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- Description:
- Despite the history of a strong and prosperous U.S. maritime industry, today’s U.S. merchant fleet is characterized by inadequacy. Through dwindling numbers as a result of mismanaged legislation as well as shifting global politics, U.S. maritime policy has failed to maintain adequate means of supporting a national fleet. Even with the obvious benefits to the national economy, international political power, and national security, the U.S. government is seemingly unable to overcome internal politics in order to provide the nation with a strong merchant marine. Ultimately, when the question about what became of the U.S. merchant marine is posed, the answer is that it was essentially turned over to rest of world. Without any meaningful change, the U.S. fleet will at best retain its current 2nd rate position in the international maritime community, while at worst it will be left to continue to slowly become irrelevantrate to the same international community that it once led. and GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- Sea Level Refugees: Suitable Recognition and UNCLOS, is a thesis that seeks to expand multiple definitions, such as statelessness and the term refugee, delineated explicitly by by the United Nations. Furthermore, this thesis analyzes the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and its relevance in the contemporary world; it strongly advocates for the international community to acknowledge and recognize nations at risk of disappearing due to sea level rise, known in this work as "sea level refugees" and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- Description:
- The study focuses on what exactly the core issue is of this “bigger picture”. Rather than specifically discussing what the trade war entails, this thesis uncovers what the trade war really represents, and the underlying ideological conflicts that exists. The formulation of the issue and the influences of the US hegemonic power take center stage as these two components are the key explanations of why this trade war is taking place. An analysis of US influence in other countries is also a critical factor as it displays the evidence of how the trade war with China is one of many examples of pure exertion of US power and international leader influence and GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- The United States is currently involved in three conflicts the Middle East. The current result of these interventions has resulted in consequences that the United Stated did not intend. The question is why does the United States find itself in the same situation with a consequence it did not want. There are two recurring elements that leads to blowback, which are fear and hubris. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- Description:
- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The Indian Ocean Rim (IOR) has become a global hotspot for international states and developing states to grow in their commercial industries. The Indian Ocean is the third largest ocean on Earth and is home to a variety of natural raw materials found within and around the Indian Ocean. These materials can be used to sustain different industries which can provide materials used to develop nation’s infrastructure and supply its population. This intervention by China in the Indian Ocean has the potential to disrupt the United States foreign relations with China diplomatically and economically, Lastly, with this much involvement in the Indian Ocean will China invest more into its maritime/naval forces to maintain and reliable presences in the region.

- Description:
- GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The rise of ideologically-motivated "lone-wolf" active shooter attacks constitutes a new phase of terrorism like nothing seen before. The perpetrators of these attacks are radicalized through the Internet, via digital communities with an environment supportive of political violence. This form of terrorism is self- perpetuating, as each new act of terrorism provides inspiration for future attacks. Unlike domestic terrorism of the past, these attackers are motivated by ideologies not confined by national borders or physical proximity. Likewise, terrorist attacks in one country ma inspire related attacks on the other side of the world. Unlike traditional international terrorism, these acts are not committed as part of any formal plan by an organized group. The patterns inspiration by which this form of terrorism spreads appear similar to the spread of school shootings. As these type of attacks are committed by individuals without the direct involvement of others online or in person, they are uniquely challenging to predict or prevent.

- With rising threats from naturally occurring events and human caused attacks, California’s ports are a critical piece of infrastructure that must be protected at all times. In order to operate these ports rely on systems and networks. Electricity is the most important critical node that drives port operations. Without electricity, California’s ports will be dormant and the U.S. border would open a weakness that can be exploited by threat actors. These actors may have the intent and capability to exploit that weakness. If and when the grid does fail, the incorporation of continuity of operations for California’s ports and the maritime domain will be imperative for security and economic prosperity. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- Description:
- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Blockades have traditionally been an operation navies take during war yet are used today when no declared war is taking place. Today blockades have been used due to the security threats posed to a belligerent if one were not in place and as a display of power within the region. They are by far an extremely effective operation compared to other options given such as an occupation. Blockades almost always create some sort of humanitarian crisis when enacted for an extended period of time and humanitarian support isn’t allowed access.
