- Description:
- Within this century, 2,400 miles of major roadway are projected to be inundated by sea level rise in the Gulf Coast Region. Roadways are at risk in the event of a sea level rise of about 4 ft, which is within range of projections for this region in this century. In total, 24% of interstate highway miles and 28% of secondary road miles in the Gulf Coast region are at elevations below 4 ft. A program to develop Gulf Coast port facilities will less the economic impact of this sea level rise and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- Description:
- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The United States merchant fleet has responded to multiple natural disasters in the past twenty years. They have used their wide scope and available fleet along with strategic positioning for timely response and assistance. Departments such as Military Sealift Command (MSC), the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Maritime Administration (MARAD) have all played vital roles in the first days after domestic and international disasters. With the magnitude of meteorological events expected to increase in coming years, the resources of existing response programs will be strained. A more cohesive relationship between the current government lead as well as non-governmental organizations and the merchant fleet should be considered. The merchant fleet can provide unique resources that have proven valuable in the cases of past disasters. Looking beyond military lead organizations and into the commercial deep water and brown water merchant fleets may prove pivotal in future disaster scenarios.

- 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.
