Are you interested in having a learning experience guided by a Smithsonian mentor with specific expertise? Are you interested in maintaining a scholarly affiliation with the Smithsonian on a subject that is a particular area of your expertise? If so, this could be the book for you. For over fifty years, in various iterations, the Smithsonian Opportunities for Study and Research (SORS) guide has been a resource for connecting prospective fellows, interns, and research associates with the Smithsonian. If you are applying to an existing Smithsonian program (fellowship, internship, etc), you can use this book to identify a potential advisor/mentor and reach out to them to discuss whether they might be in a position to host you. Alternatively, if there is not an existing program in the area of your interest, but you would like to explore the possibility of doing an internship or fellowship with a particular SI expert on your own – this book can be used for that too. If you approach a would-be Smithsonian advisor or mentor with a question or proposal, be specific as possible, and do some research ahead of time to verify that the person you are approaching is doing work in a field that matches your idea or question. Smithsonian research and program staff often have many competing commitments. If you reach out and don’t hear back, it may that the person you reach out to just isn’t in a position to host you. On the other hand, broadening access is a priority for the Smithsonian; if the person you contact can offer a response, they will. I honor you for your commitment to increasing your knowledge and diffusing it to others. Thank you for your interest in the Smithsonian! Eric Woodard, Ed.D. Director of Fellowships and Internships Smithsonian Institution August 2019 SMITHSONIAN OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESEARCH AND STUDY 2020 | 1 Anacostia Community Museum (ACM) Lisa Sasaki, Acting Director The mission of the Anacostia Community Museum is focused on the examination of contemporary urban issues and community life, and on community-focused approaches to research, documentation, and educational and cultural programming. The geographic scope of museum work incorporates the Washington, D.C. Metro area as well as urban communities in other parts of the United States. Core to the work of the museum is the belief that active citizen participation in the recovery and preservation of community historical assets, in cultural and arts activities, and in community advocacy are important and powerful instruments in creating and maintaining a sense of community and civic ownership. The permanent collection supports the museum’s investigation of contemporary community life, and of issues and themes that shape and resonate within urban communities. An important goal of museum collections is the development of strategies to engage public audiences with the artifacts and other materials

  • THE LISTING of PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T
    August 2017 Guido T. Poppe A LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS - V1.00 THE LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T. Poppe INTRODUCTION The publication of Philippine Marine Mollusks, Volumes 1 to 4 has been a revelation to the conchological community. Apart from being the delight of collectors, the PMM started a new way of layout and publishing - followed today by many authors. Internet technology has allowed more than 50 experts worldwide to work on the collection that forms the base of the 4 PMM books. This expertise, together with modern means of identification has allowed a quality in determinations which is unique in books covering a geographical area. Our Volume 1 was published only 9 years ago: in 2008. Since that time “a lot” has changed. Finally, after almost two decades, the digital world has been embraced by the scientific community, and a new generation of young scientists appeared, well acquainted with text processors, internet communication and digital photographic skills. Museums all over the planet start putting the holotypes online – a still ongoing process – which saves taxonomists from huge confusion and “guessing” about how animals look like. Initiatives as Biodiversity Heritage Library made accessible huge libraries to many thousands of biologists who, without that, were not able to publish properly. The process of all these technological revolutions is ongoing and improves taxonomy and nomenclature in a way which is unprecedented. All this caused an acceleration in the nomenclatural field: both in quantity and in quality of expertise and fieldwork. The above changes are not without huge problematics. Many studies are carried out on the wide diversity of these problems and even books are written on the subject.

  • South Pole-Aitken Basin
    Feasibility Assessment of All Science Concepts within South Pole-Aitken Basin INTRODUCTION While most of the NRC 2007 Science Concepts can be investigated across the Moon, this chapter will focus on specifically how they can be addressed in the South Pole-Aitken Basin (SPA). SPA is potentially the largest impact crater in the Solar System (Stuart-Alexander, 1978), and covers most of the central southern farside (see Fig. 8.1). SPA is both topographically and compositionally distinct from the rest of the Moon, as well as potentially being the oldest identifiable structure on the surface (e.g., Jolliff et al., 2003). Determining the age of SPA was explicitly cited by the National Research Council (2007) as their second priority out of 35 goals. A major finding of our study is that nearly all science goals can be addressed within SPA. As the lunar south pole has many engineering advantages over other locations (e.g., areas with enhanced illumination and little temperature variation, hydrogen deposits), it has been proposed as a site for a future human lunar outpost. If this were to be the case, SPA would be the closest major geologic feature, and thus the primary target for long-distance traverses from the outpost. Clark et al. (2008) described four long traverses from the center of SPA going to Olivine Hill (Pieters et al., 2001), Oppenheimer Basin, Mare Ingenii, and Schrödinger Basin, with a stop at the South Pole. This chapter will identify other potential sites for future exploration across SPA, highlighting sites with both great scientific potential and proximity to the lunar South Pole.

  • Kubler's Sarcophagus
    Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/artm/article-pdf/4/1/3/720689/artm_a_00103.pdf by guest on 28 September 2021 KuBler’S SarcophaguS cold War archaeologieS of The olmec periphery luis m. castaÑeda In the fall of 1959, as art historian George Kubler wrote The Art and Architecture of Ancient America (1962), he corresponded with scholars and curators to clarify the spotty provenance of the numerous objects his survey book would discuss. Many of these artifacts had enigmatic histories, few more so than La Venta Monument Six—a sarcophagus carved with zoomorphic imagery excavated at the site of La Venta, in the Mexican state of Tabasco, by American archaeologist Matthew Stirling. Since the late 1930s, Stirling had gained notoriety for rediscov- ering the art of the Olmecs, Mesoamerica’s oldest and then most mys- terious culture, fi rst studied in Mexico in the 1860s. Yet even decades after this rediscovery, most of the artifacts that Stirling examined were not well understood.1 For Kubler, the unique iconography of the sarcophagus excavated in the Olmec “heartland,” especially what he described as its “ideo- graphic notations,” seemed to connect it formally to the art of better- understood regions of Mesoamerica, such as the Maya region. Kubler suggested this despite the lack of conclusive archaeological evidence to 1 Matthew W.

  • Magnetic Signature of the Lunar South Pole-Aitken Basin: Character, Origin, and Age Michael E
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. ???, XXXX, DOI:10.1029/, Magnetic signature of the lunar South Pole-Aitken Basin: Character, origin, and age Michael E. Purucker,1 and James W. Head III,2 and Lionel Wilson3 Abstract. A new magnetic map of the Moon, based on Lunar Prospector (LP) mag- netometer observations, sheds light on the origin of the South Pole-Aitken Basin (SPA), the largest and oldest of the recognized lunar basins. A set of WNW-trending linear to arcuate magnetic features, evident in both the radial and scalar observations, covers much of a 1000 km wide region centered on the NW portion of SPA. The source bodies are not at the surface because the magnetic features show no first-order correspondence to any surface topographic or structural feature. Patchy mare basalts of possible late Imbrian- age are emplaced within SPA and are inferred to have been emplaced through dikes, di- rectly from mantle sources. We infer that the magnetic features represent dike swarms that served as feeders for these mare basalts, as evident from the location of the Thom- son/Mare Ingenii, Van de Graaff, and Leeuwenhoek mare basalts on the two largest mag- netic features in the region. Modeling suggests that the dike zone is between 25 and 50 km wide at the surface, and dike magnetization contrasts are in the range of 0.2 A/m. We theorize that the basaltic dikes were emplaced in the lunar crust when a long-lived dynamo was active. Based on pressure, temperature, and stress conditions prevalent in the lunar crust, dikes are expected to be a dominantly subsurface phenomenon, consis- tent with the observations reported here.

    Los pigmentos naturales usados en Costa Rica: análisis preliminar de geomateriales y fragmentos cerámicos policromos de Guanacaste Matthieu Ménager1, 2*, Patricia Fernández1 y Silvia Salgado1 1Centro de Investigaciones Antropológicas (CIAN), Universidad de Costa Rica, San José, Costa Rica 2Université d’Avignon, IMBE, UMR CNRS 6372 / IRD 237 / AMU, Avignon, Francia *Autor para contacto: [email protected] Resumen: En esta publicación, se aportan datos relacionados con la identificación de las principales fuentes de pigmentos publicadas en la literatura científica. Además, se presenta el análisis fisicoquímico de los geomateriales usados ahora en la zona de Guaitil (Costa Rica) y de seis tipos cerámicos procedentes de diferentes sitios arqueológicos (tipos Jicote Policromo, Jicote variedad felino, Birmania Policromo, Mora Policromo variedad Chircot, Altiplano Policromo, Mora Policromo variedad Guapote), por medio de las técnicas de análisis de fluorescencia de los rayos X (XRF), espectrometría infrarroja (FT-IR) y mi- croscopio electrónico de barrido (SEM-EDS). En el caso de los geomateriales usados por los alfareros de Guaitil como pigmento, (i) los rojos y blancos fueron caolinita con cuarzo y trazas de óxido de hierro, y (ii) el pigmento negro fue una mezcla de cuarzo, óxidos de manganeso, hematita y trazas de caolinita. En el caso de las cerámicas precolombinas, los engobes de Altiplano Policromo, Birmania Policromo y Mora Policromo variedad Chircot tuvieron una composición parecida con altos contenidos de meta-esmectita y cuarzo, aunque el engobe del fragmento de Mora Policromo variedad Guapote se compuso principalmente de meta-caolinita y cuarzo. Por un lado, los tiestos de Jicote tuvieron un engobe de composición diferente con la presencia de meta-emectita, cristobalita y hematita.
