- Description:
- 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

- 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:
- The intention of this work is to synthesize and interpret the tenets of geopolitics within the expectation that the coming decades will present unique and unprecedented challenges for states and populations due to the symptoms resultant from a changing environment. The operant assumption is that modern quality of life may come under threat due to these developments by way of multiple environmental vectors such as drought, rising sea levels, and extreme weather. In addition, while a difficult characterization to make with any certainty, the depletion of resource wealth and the attainability of new, disputed deposits is also posited to be a possible impetus for more aggressive, unilateral behavior by newly empowered states around the globe. Ultimately, the ethic of cooperation rather than competition under these circumstances is advocated for by way of the deduction of hypothetical outcomes of state-to-state and state-to-population behaviors. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- Energy security is essential to a country’s national security and growing economic development. Thorium molten salt reactors have the potential to provide sustainable energy for nations seeking cleaner energy options without compromising energy security. Current nuclear reactors struggle in these areas. Discovered during the Manhattan project in 1944, it did not get developed further because it lacked nuclear weapon potential. There is renewed interest in this technology for countries like India, China, and United States, nations that are heavily reliant on hydrocarbons for energy. Thorium provides the potential to reduce fossil fuel dependency and reduce total carbon emissions. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- Description:
- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The Arctic is experiencing significant climate change. The expected changes to the Arctic have created new economic opportunities for states and threatened the future stability of the region. With Arctic becoming more accessible, the control for natural resource extraction and sea lanes of communications have become a major concern. Out of every Arctic state, Russia has been the most aggressive in their development of military infrastructure. As of now, the United States has adopted a peaceful cooperative approach to the future stability of the Arctic -in an effort to prevent an arms race. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the challenges Russia’s militarization in the Arctic creates towards U.S. interests in the region.

- Description:
- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and This project looks at social, political, and economic impacts of port technologies. Research shows that the disadvantages of automation and advancing port technology overshadow the advantages. These disadvantages not only relate to the workers themselves but the entire port communities that share this local economy. The disadvantages can even impact the ports themselves, as regulations, massive capital investment and maintenance, and workflow revision can make advanced technologies an overall loss for some ports.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Aging ships in the transportation fleet are being replaced with larger ships called the new-Panamax. These bigger vessels were unable to fit through a key shipping route for Asian Producers to reach the majority of their customer base on the United States Eastern Seaboard. The Panama Canal, for the better part of a decade, was unable to accommodate the new wave of ships and had to default shipments to the West Coast and the US land bridge. In the summer of 2016, the new expanded Panama Canal opened for operation. Producers and shippers are choosing to divert their routes and keeping cargo on the ships longer because it is more direct and economically profitable

- Description:
- The Arctic is a vast and changing region. Climate change is affecting the availability of many sectors in the Arctic and opening the door for state actors to approve the implementation of industrial resource development, as well as commercial shipping lanes. This thesis seeks to bring territorial claims from states in the Arctic into a singular compilation from the Russian perspective. Finally, this thesis recommends a proposed solution to disputed territory in the Arctic after a thorough analysis of the policies presented throughout the thesis. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The African continent is proving to be the next up- and-coming region in the world. In order to remain competitive in Africa, the United States must fundamentally change its approach to power projection. The United States successfully uses its military capabilities to project power, delivering unparalleled swift operational responses to global threats. Beyond military might, the greatest tool for power projection in Africa that the United States can use is USAID. Promoting regional stability and food security is a necessary function of USAID programs. To achieve the best results, these programs must be temporary, and geared towards to increasing national security for the United States. China’s success in the implementation of its 21st century Maritime Silk Road lies in the development of economic partnerships in East Africa. The United States must determine its position as a global or regional power in order to develop the best diplomatic power projection strategies in Africa.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and It is evident that Hawaii is dependent on their oceanic environment. They use the ocean to feed themselves as well as import goods. Many of the species in Hawaii’s waters have been affected by marine plastic debris that is derived from the newly recognized Athropocene Era, also known as the era of human impact. With efforts being made to get rid of plastic in the ocean, Hawaii and other countries have already begun the process of change and improvement to the earth today.
