2019 Booklet THIRD ANNUAL UNDERGRADUATE SPRING RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM Friday, April 12, 2019 5-7:10pm Mountainlair Greenbrier and Blackwater Rooms Saturday, April 13, 2019 12-4:00pm Mountainlair Ballroms Welcome to the 2019 Undergraduate Spring Symposium. Our third annual symposium of undergraduate research is about many things, but it’s not about boundaries. Across 180 posters and 7 presentations, WVU student work traverses boundaries of discipline—arts, humanities, and social sciences work appears alongside STEM posters and talks. Honors College students stand next to students from every other walk of WVU life. The “lab” in question might just as well be a linguistics lab as one doing chemistry, and that chemical engineering lab is as likely to use a supercomputer as a test tube. When you talk to our student researchers (and you definitely should talk to them), what you’ll find in common among them is not found within the boundaries of field or methodology or even GPA. It’s a shared spirit of inquiry, a spark of curiosity, and a passion for making new knowledge. At WVU, we’re proud of the knowledge that students build in the classroom, but also beyond the boundaries of the classroom, and its impact last well beyond a student’s undergraduate career. These experiences form habits of mind and sometimes actual career-driving explorations that grow from seeds planted as early as the freshman year in our Research Apprentice Program (RAP). This is the advantage of an institution like WVU. Our strong support of undergraduate research is natural given our Carnegie classification as a top research (R1) institution. The R1 ranking belongs to only 131 of the nearly 4500 institutions of higher learning in the U.S., denoting the highest level of research activity. But WVU is small enough that our labs are not stocked to brimming with PhD students and postdocs who might take priority over undergraduate researchers. When we talk to our most outstanding graduates, the one word we hear over and over is “opportunity.” These opportunities depend both on engaged and inquisitive students, but also world-class research mentors in fields as diverse as public history and astrophysics, as psychology and petroleum engineering. Some faculty may mentor one student, or host a lab full of undergraduates, but no matter the arrangement, they are creating opportunities for student to participate in some of the most engaged learning around. I hope that when you join the Mountaineer family you will say “yes” to opportunities like these that cross boundaries, and expand your mind and your resume at the same time. Enthusiastically, Ryan Claycomb, PhD Acting Dean, WVU Honors College Professor of English and Theatre ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Dr. Ryan Claycomb, Acting Dean, Honors College Dr. Kevin Gooding, Living-Learning Community Coordinator, Honors College Dr. Kimberly Quedado, Assistant Director, Office of Undergraduate Research Dr. Michelle Richards-Babb, Director, Office of Undergraduate Research Mr. Kevin Walden, Program Specialist, Office of Undergraduate Research We want to take this opportunity to thank our undergraduate presenters. Their willingness to present and discuss their scholarly activities is greatly appreciated. In addition, special thanks to our faculty mentors. Scholarly activities, such as research and creative endeavors, enrich the academic training of our students by establishing mentoring relationships and promoting intellectual independence and curiosity. Our students are indebted to the faculty who mentor them in research!

  • Erosion in Several Large Gullies, Core Arboretum West Virginia University
    Erosion in Several Large Gullies, Core Arboretum West Virginia University Jessica Gormont Submission for an Option II-Professional Studies Project in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Geology Department of Geology and Geography Morgantown, WV 2007 Committee Members: Steven Kite (Chair) Robert Behling Jonathan Weems Introduction The position and dimensions of natural gullies are created by the concentration of overland flow into topologic low spots (Zucca, 2006). When areas above a hillside are developed, it can decrease the ability of water to seep into the ground due to the addition of impervious materials such as pavement. These conditions are ideal for Horton overland flow (Luce, 2002). The impervious material can also cause a rerouting of the overland flow sending far more water over the surface of the hillside and into gullies than is natural (Nyssen, 2002). This is doubly true when culverts are added to the heads of the gullies, diverting the overland flow directly into the gullies. Utilization of natural gullies to remove unwanted water during the urbanization process may seem like effective planning. However, an increase in water volume in gullies can increase tractive force within the channel (Saldi-Caromile, 2004), which in turn causes rates of erosion to increase. Possible consequences of this erosional increase could include deepening of gullies and instability of adjacent hillsides, which could trigger landslides. This study examined four gullies within the Core Arboretum of West Virginia University (WVU) (fig. 1). In order from north to south, the gullies that were studied were Tennis Gully, located just beneath the middle section of the WVU tennis courts; Roof Gully, which diverts water from the roof of the Coliseum; Bathtub Gully, named for the size and shape of the gully beneath the Strausbaugh Trail bridge in the 1970s and 1980s (Weems, pers.

  • Falling Run Greenspace, Morgantown, West Virginia
    Ǥ͹ BUILDING A NEW CENTRAL PARK THROUGH CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND SERVICE LEARNING: FALLING RUN GREENSPACE, MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA Haas, Vaike West Virginia University, [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT Service learning, university-community partnerships and volunteers’ civic engagement activities created a new urban forest park, Falling Run Greenspace, from sixty acres of steeply forested university property in downtown Morgantown, West Virginia. Developing the master plan involved a complex process of administrative approvals and committees for engagement of a diverse group of stakeholders. The project catalyzed greenspace partnerships between the University and the community, and promoted civic engagement among students. This paper reports on the collaborative process through which this new park was created.Landscape architecture majors at West Virginia University participated in site analysis and master planning through service learning in class assignments typically over two semesters; community members and students, staff and faculty volunteered to construct trails. The University provided a construction budget for bridges and a universally accessible trail. In 2016, Falling Run was the first Welcome Week trail-building project and attracted 495 incoming freshmen who volunteered to clear brush and build trails. Falling Run’s volunteer structure hinged on a handful of experienced trail crew leaders providing training sessions, and a dedicated volunteer coordinator. Within eighteen months, volunteers built 2.4 miles of trail, utilizing

  • Environmental Questionnaire
    NETL F 451.1-1/3 Revised: 11/7/2011 Reviewed: 11/7/2011 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (Previous Editions Obsolete) ENVIRONMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE I. BACKGROUND The Department of Energy (DOE) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Implementing Procedures (10 CFR 1021) require careful consideration of the potential environmental consequences of all proposed actions during the early planning stages of a project or activity. DOE policy directs at the earliest possible stage in a project whether such actions will require preparation of an Environmental Assessment, an Environmental Impact Statement, or a Categorical Exclusion. To comply with these requirements, an Environmental Questionnaire (NETL Form 451.1-1/3) must be completed for each proposed action to provide DOE with the information necessary to determine the appropriate level of NEPA review and documentation. If the proposed project qualifies for Categorical Exclusion designation, a Categorical Exclusion Designation Form (NETL Form 451.1-1/1) will also be completed in addition to the Environmental Questionnaire. II. INSTRUCTIONS Separate copies of the Environmental Questionnaire and Categorical Exclusion Designation Form (if required) should be completed by the principal proposer and principal subcontractor(s). In addition, if the proposed project includes activities at different locations, an independent questionnaire should be prepared for each location. Supporting information can be provided as attachments. In completing this Questionnaire, the proposer is requested to provide specific information and quantities, when applicable, regarding air emissions, wastewater discharges, solid wastes, etc., to facilitate the necessary review. The proposer should identify the location of the project and specifically describe the activities that would occur at that location.
