- 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.

- The actions that the U.S. have conducted against VNSAs [Violent non-state actors] in the Middle East have produced little success. These VNSAs have used unconventional tactics to constantly outsmart the U.S., so in order for the U.S. to fully eradicate their influence, they must understand all aspects of each VNSA down to the individual. and GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab

- GMA 400L - Senior Seminar Research Lab and First surfacing in 2011, the Dark Web is a culmination of illicit websites, unable to be located on indexed internet search engines. The first of these Dark Web sites was launched in 2011. Named the Silk Road, this Dark Web site was the first to offer an Amazon like user experience for illicit substances Due to the complex nature of The Onion Router, law enforcement has been struggling to effectively police the Dark Web. In order to properly address this issue, law enforcement must develop a multifaceted strategy aimed at reducing this online illicit trade.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
