- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and U.S. exit from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the implications held therein for United States involvement in the Asia-Pacific region and Asia policy under the Trump administration indicate an abdication of U.S. hegemony in the region, allowing China further expansion of influence through the rival trade pact, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The qualifiers for TPP abandonment under the Trump Administration were insufficient, deserting decades of strategy and national interest. Moving forward, it is necessary the U.S. take care to uphold presence and authority in the region as well as form stronger bilateral trade relations with allies and growing powers in the Asia-Pacific to secure regional stability and peace. Special interest should be paid to strong allies that will continue forward with RCEP, namely Australia, Japan and New Zealand who will inevitably develop closer trade relations with China.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The American shipping industry operates under the regulation of the Jones Act, found in the Merchant Marine Act of 1920. The 97 year old legislation has outlived its intended purposes. In 1920, the United States created the Jones Act in order to regulate maritime commerce while creating a platform to build a Merchant Marine Fleet to aid during times of war or national emergencies. The current state of the U.S. Jones Act fleet is deteriorating before the nation’s eyes. The government continues to aid the dying American shipping industry through an excess amount of government subsidies. The American shipping industry has fallen so far behind, the subsidies are no longer enough to support the failed interests of the United States. The repercussions of having a disastrous maritime cabotage industry now have begun costing the consumers of the United States. The current state of the Jones Act in today’s maritime industry can no longer support the original claims: protecting national security, economy, safety, environmental, and global context.

- Description:
- The Indian Ocean Rim (IOR) has become a major geopolitical and security interest in the 21st century. One of the biggest issues that faces the Indian Ocean today is the swift growth of maritime related security threats. This is a major concern to not only first world nations like the United States, but also to developing states in the region. Due to the lack of stability in the region, the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula have been a breeding ground for violent non-state actors. Piracy, illicit trade, and terrorism are just a few of the non traditional maritime security threats. With instability in an already pirate-infested area, the threat of a growing maritime terrorism domain is a looming and haunting notion. This thesis will look into the history of maritime based terrorist attacks, and the potential for up and coming non-state actors, terrorist organizations, and organized crime in a region of instability. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- 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.

- 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 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.

- 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.

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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.

- GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The current drug laws in America are outdated. There are some illicit substances that have great medical potential. Some of these drugs that have medical potential could help to assist the current opioid crisis in America. Other European nations have already implemented more modern Laws to help treat drug addicts and reduce overall substance use. Policymakers in the U.S. must observe other nation’s laws and examine which laws worked and those that did not. Illicit drugs will always make their way into America so laws must be put in place that would help to decriminalize some medical beneficial drugs which in turn will help to fight the opioid crisis. And reduce overall substance use and abuse.

- 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

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Anthropogenic actions have resulted in the changing of global climate causing increasing temperatures, changes in storms, and the decrease of polar ice. Less ice in the Arctic creates greater access to natural resources, such as minerals and energy, and the opening of shipping lanes which has the potential to cause a geopolitical battle for control of the Arctic. For a nation to have control of territory in the Arctic, they will need the resources to enforce domestic and international maritime law. Through Alaska lies access to maritime transportation and natural resources. The United States, in order to protect these areas, must have a capable force to deploy to the area to maintain sea lanes of communication, conduct search and rescue, and ensure the protection of natural resources. Therefore, the United States must invest in a modern icebreaking fleet.

- 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

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The study conducted for this thesis concerns whether or not the presence of Private Military and Security Companies in the Indian Ocean increase the level of maritime security in the region and measures their effectiveness against various non-state actors. This thesis also brought to light just how fragile and vulnerable maritime commerce can be in specific regions of the world. The historical implications of the private military sector are provided starting from the initial voyages of Christopher Columbus to the relatively recent controversies surrounding the modern day private contractor. Maritime threats and how the security services provided by PMSCs can respond to them while still respecting the legal sphere is also discussed. Finally, three different case studies that involve the major waterways of the Indian Ocean, the maritime threats they face, and how PMSCs can effectively respond are provided. The entire study concluded that PMSCs should be widely more adopted by the international community by the sheer increase of maritime security that they provide to maritime commerce. This is accomplished through their operational successes in the past and how they present themselves as a viable cost-effective alternative to the national armed forces that countries typically use.

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:
- The United States has one of the largest international borders with approximately 7,458 miles of land borders and 95,000 miles of shoreline. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 forever changed the way the United States treated its international boundaries. The creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2002 refocused the efforts of multiple law enforcement agencies to develop a new strategy to not only secure the borders against illegal immigration but also against illicit drug trafficking, narcoterrorism, and transnational organized crime both from land and at sea. In the Summer of 2019 the total number of illegal immigrant apprehensions reached its highest point since the turn of the 21st Century. This border "crisis" was the result of the strategic misalignment of America’s overarching objectives, concepts, policies, and resources regarding immigration, border security, and its diplomatic relations with Central and South American countries and Mexico. Although the Trump administration has taken steps to remedy the border crisis, in order to construct a long term solution for ending the immigration crisis, the United States will have to begin by reconstructing their current strategic approach in order to secure not only the Central American countries but the western hemisphere as a whole. and GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Sea level rise is one of the most pressing concerns for coastal communities in the world today. In the San Francisco Bay Area, there is a predicted 15 to 55 feet of sea level rise, putting not only billions of dollars at risk, but threatening the very way of day-to-day life occurring in the region. The effects of Sea level rise will cause the inundation of infrastructure around the bay; with transportation networks, economic centers, residential areas, key infrastructure providing daily services and even water supplies being flooded with sea water. The threat of sea level rise comes from inaction, where current aging infrastructure cannot hold back the approaching tides of the future. The San Francisco Bay Area as a whole must respond to this issue and adapt to changing circumstances, or a catastrophe will occur, which may very well cripple the Bay Area.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and Piracy in the Gulf of Guinea (Nigeria) has been a problem that the oil industry operating in the area has been facing. Pirates in the Gulf of Guinea are more ruthless than their counterparts in the Gulf of Aden and the Strait of Malacca (the two other main piracy hotspots), as Nigerian pirates claim to be committing these acts of piracy for the betterment of their people. Due to a corrupts government system, the relationship between the oil industry and the government has tarnished the environmental well being of the Niger Delta. Because of this, Nigerian Pirates operate on a basis of gaining reprimands from the government to the people of the Niger Delta. Pirate attacks often harm the safety of the mariner by injuring and killing them. Nigerian pirates tend to target vessels that are employed by the oil industry to disrupt the oil supply, however attack other vessels as well. Attacks against fishing vessels are very common, however go often times unreported. Because of this, an accurate number of attacks can not be acquired, making it extremely difficult to compare against other piracy hotspots. Most Nigerian pirates have shifted their end goal to the bunkering of crude oil. Bunkering is the theft of stealing oil, in order to sell it illegally on the black market. They do this to turn a large profit, while harming the Nigerian oil industry.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and This paper examines the critical components of successful offshore wind development. In doing so it recognizes the historical context behind the global movement towards renewable energy technologies and how varying political attitudes on climate change and energy security still affect the development of renewables today. In searching for factors that lead to the successful development of offshore wind energy, and conversely what factors, or lack thereof, have proven harmful to the outcome of successful onshore and offshore development the criteria identified three key components: suitable locations, adequate legal frameworks, and community support. Suitable locations consist of areas of offshore space with wind speeds high enough to be economically viable and compatible sea floor for the turbine support structure. Adequate legal frameworks are comprised of the necessary policies and incentives established by public sector entities to promote renewable energy development and the specific regulatory process for offshore wind projects. Community support factors include the general acceptance of wind technologies as well as local reactions to specific siting projects and how that can be helpful or harmful. Lastly, this paper will take the criteria established and apply a critical perspective to two cases studies: the unsuccessful Cape Wind and the European model of offshore development where it will then draw conclusions on the lessons learned from the two different approaches.

With most of the crewmembers coming from South East Asia and Eastern Europe, the community of crew members that is found onboard creates for an interesting dynamic. Furthermore, most of the lowest positions onboard are dominated by individuals from countries that are outside the economic core while the higher ranking positions are dominated by individuals whose home countries are apart of the economic core, furthering the ideology of colonialism. The benefits, challenges, and dynamics of migrant cruise ship workers provide for a distinguishable social environment.

- 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 Africa is home to over fifty distinct countries, each with their own cultures, histories, and security problems. Of these countries, thirty-two have a coastline, and all a stake in a safe African maritime domain. Before 2000, the maritime areas surrounding the continent were largely ungoverned, and there was very little development in the realm of maritime security. The need for change became apparent when piracy became a common occurrence along the African coasts, disrupting vital international shipping routes. The Djibouti and Yaoundé Codes of Conduct were created to consolidate the efforts of their respective regions in combatting this issue. Though their purpose for existence is similar, significant differences arose regarding the content, implementation process, and effectiveness of each code. This phenomenon resonates to the struggles creating a cohesive effectiveness of each code. This phenomenon resonates to the struggles creating a cohesive maritime security narrative on the continent.

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.

Scuba divers find themselves alone in the deep blue enlightened by the effect’s humans have on the environment. Together, this insight induces global change movements in order to preserve the ocean. Not only are these communities dedicated to the ocean but psychologically the qualities of oceans creates a longing for returning to its shores. This poster will give a visual representation to the types of organizations formed through ocean recreation.

- The Cold War was a period of political turmoil and tension between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United States from 1940 till 1991. The two countries had vastly differing political agendas and fought one another through proxy wars throughout the world, each promoting their own ideologies. Then due to economic and political reforms, the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, falling into a listless period. Out of the ruin came the newly named Russian Federation. Despite the country’s newly named government and a bolstered economy, the political agenda has not changed. The Russian Federation is continuing its predecessors agenda, leaving the world in the midst of a resurgence of the Cold War. Russia has continued to provide military and economic aid to strategic areas through out the world. and GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- GMA 460L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The United States Marine Corps, since its creation on November 10, 1775, has been the primary amphibious warfare branch of the United States Military. They have the longest basic training, longest basic officer training, and highest physical standards out of the entire military. For most of its history, the Marine Corps has had a unique purpose within the military and have been integral to the Untied States national defense, often due to their superior training and unique doctrine and strategy. However, since the United States entered the Global War on Terror (GWOT), the Marine Corps have essentially become a secondary land army that is being used to augment the Untied States Army.

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and The United States is heavily dependent on oil from foreign countries. The U.S has formed questionable relationships with countries with oil trading being the sole purpose of the relationship. Oil not only costs a lot of money, but is also the leading polluter in the United States. A majority of oil is used for for the U.S transportation sector; this includes shipping and ferry vessels. Using hydrogen as a way to fuel vessel in the U.S will result in vessels emitting zero pollution. The San Francisco area is a maritime hub and one of the leading polluters in the United States.
