- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Widespread pandemic since its decolonization. Decolonized and left with exhausted resources and lack of model government; built by descendants of slaves. Islands are subject to hurricane seasons, earthquakes, increasing floods, drought and soil erosion– increasing ferocity due to climate change. The international extreme poverty line is -$1.90/day. Haiti’s average public lives on $3/day of 10.8 million; the average Jamaican lives on about $13 per day of 2.88 million. Within these states there are millions actually living below the poverty line.

- GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and White Supremacy has been a persistent disease throughout the history of the United States since the reconstruction era. However the post 9/11 era has had an extreme focus on Radical Islamic terror in the news media. This focus has led to the threat of White Supremacy being downplayed until 2017 when the severity of the threat was revealed in Charlottesville.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) may play an important role in solving regional challenges that traditional responses cannot. Today, UAVs range from low-cost consumer electric designs, to multimillion dollar military UAVs. In particular with countries poor infrastructure, low-cost UAVs may be viable in disease preventions and medicinal deliveries. In more developed nations, UAVs may be a viable addition to policing.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Taiwan has always had a unique position in the Far East, both in terms of geography and the national identity and political institutions that are not only critical for citizens of Taiwan, but are also critical to the major powers in East Asia, such as the UnitedStates, China, and Japan. Besides the influences of foreign policy on the Taiwanese evolution, the various effects of the globalization thathave swept the world in the last several decades have had an even more dramatic effect on Taiwan by comparison. The events of the past twenty years and the global trends that have accompanied them have transformed the thinking of Taiwan’s population as they consider what course they should take going forward. This paper seeks to look at how that change came to be, and how it has already affected the policies and actions of both Taiwan and its neighbors.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Nonindigenous species (NIS), also referred to as non-native or invasive species, are organisms that pose a threat to the environment to which they are introduced to. International commercial shipping vessels are considered a vector for these introductions, primarily through the vessels’ ballast water systems and through fouling, or attaching to the hull and releasing in a new location. Ballast water release is regulated by international law, while California and New Zealand are the only jurisdictions that have requirements Zealand are the only jurisdictions that have requirements for biofouling management. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) provides guidelines for biofouling management, but these are not required. CA and NZ regulations are both similar to these guidelines with the same best practices. Ballast water regulations are used as a case study to examine the future of biofouling management. The purpose of this project is to identify good elements of regulations, define best practices, and analyze the future of how the policy will spread.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and In recent years, environmental changes have increased access to a series of maritime routes along the Arctic. Of these, the Northeast Passage has received the greatest interest as a sea route and potential source of oil and gas extraction. Given the passages ability to undercut time and cost of shipping extraction. Given the passages ability to undercut time and cost of shipping extraction. Given the passages ability to undercut time and cost of shipping between Europe and Asia while providing an alternative source for oil and gas, the route is poised to become increasingly more significant and competitive

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The international drug trade has been a problem for decades and is showing no signs of slowing down. The United States strategy has been based around stopping drugs in transit. As long as drug trafficking is a viable and rewarding business, there will always be those who attempt it. The U.S. needs to focus on working with governments in Central and South America in order to combat drug cartels and repair their local economies to make progress.

- In Marine Insurance, the industry culture tends to avoid the high risk red zones of the trading routes in the world. Such as the waters off the coast of Somalia, Strait of Malacca, and the Niger Delta, in the Gulf of Guinea. These areas are high risk zones, for cargo insurance companies, because of the high levels of piracy and war in those areas. In the past, insurance companies have worked hand in hand with security companies to push against piracy and war threats with a gun vs. gun approach. However, in the current maritime environment, officials realize this type of approach is not as effective as they once thought. The change in security thinking has seen authorities move from the gun vs. gun approach to a more social development approach. The goal of this approach is to fight the threat of piracy and war by focusing on improving the government, economy, and environment from behind enemy lines. The insurance companies will also focus on developments that could indicate the future zones that will become the next high risk zones. This “Humanitarian” approach presents a better understanding of future high risk zones and the reasons for them. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and In the last few decades, China has made unprecedented progress in its own growth. From the work of Deng Xiaoping and the upkeeping from his successors until current leader Xi Jinping, China's economic rise rivals that of the United States. This has also renewed maritime confidence in China's navy, also known as People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) which has been growing. Strategy and doctrine play a large role in the advancement of Chinese military influence it has on policy. Strategists such as Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and Alfred Mahan are essential to the leadership and strategy studies of officer in PLAN. With a rise in power, it is assumed that the leadership and strategy studies of officer in PLAN. With a rise in power, it is assumed that the Untied States and China will fall into a concept known as the Thucydides Trap which predicts war between the two powers. This comes with tensions that are building around Chinese waters.

- Description:
- GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Climate Change has the sea-levels rising and threatens coastal states around the globe. The North Sea Flood of 1953 devastated the Netherlands. As a result, the Delta Work Commission was created and set up dams, storm surge barriers, and flood gates. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management was subsequently created which consolidated spatial, water, and land management sectors into a single entity. The state of the Netherlands has since been protected from storms, storm surge, and rising sea levels. The United States is vulnerable on a larger scale to sea-level rise and storm surge but has not invested the necessary resources to mitigate such risks. Despite reeling from major hurricanes such as Hurricane Andrew and Katrina, that caused millions in damage and years of rebuilding, there has been no major change to mitigate the effect of such events. As climate change advances sea-level rise, metropolises of the United States are under siege. Currently there are no sure-fire ways set in place to protect the state in its vulnerable areas, leaving the population more susceptible to any flooding or storm surge. By learning from the Dutch and emulating their system of water and infrastructure management, the United States can begin adequately protecting the population.
