<Title>URCAD Sneak Peek: On Thin Ice</Title>
<Tagline>Spherical film exploring climate change in the Arctic</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div><em>On Thin Ice</em> is  <span>focused on raising awareness of climate change in the arctic, and was one of three Interdisciplinary CoLab research experiences offered to students at UMBC over the summer. Throughout the four-week internship, each student brought their own variety of expertise to the table to</span><span> </span><span>create maps of temperature changes in the arctic, compile informational videos</span><span> </span><span>about melting ice caps, and write a compelling script for their 12-minute video illustrating the devastating effects of a warming northern hemisphere. The students also had to properly format the video onto a spherical structure which required learning new coding and video editing techniques. It </span>will be presented  at Virtual URCAD 2020!</div><div><br></div><div>Presenters: <em><strong>Paul Ocone, Lauren Patel, Sangita Ramaswamy</strong></em></div><div><br></div><div>Abstract:</div><div><span><em>On Thin Ice</em></span><span> is a spherical film that explores the impacts of climate change in the Arctic, a vital region for the Earth’s future. An interdisciplinary team of students used a combination of maps, visualizations from NOAA, videos, and images, to produce an immersive presentation that depicts changes in our world in places not accessible to the public. The team researched the problem, created GIS maps, wrote a narrative, and brought all of these elements together into a documentary made for spherical projection systems. The story follows marine animals of the Arctic, from phytoplankton to polar bears. This exploration provides insight on how a changing climate affects Arctic wildlife and their habitats. </span><span>On Thin Ice</span><span> also introduces humans as a part of the Arctic ecosystem and as essential players in determining the fate of the Arctic. This short documentary showcases the use of spherical video for science communication, and it incorporates elements of all of the Polar Literacy Initiative’s Polar Literacy Principles. This makes this video a tool for teachers to use in their classrooms during lessons about the Arctic region, and science museums can showcase the film across the US.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Mentors: </span><span>Donald Snyder, Media and Communication Studies; Nicole Trenholm, Geography &amp; Environmental Systems, Graduate Student; Ben Daniels, Geography &amp; Environmental Systems, Graduate Student</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><em>This work was funded, in part, by the Provost’s Office, the Dresher Center for the Humanities, and the Office of Summer, Winter and Special Programs under the UMBC Interdisciplinary CoLab program.

<Title>URCAD Sneak Peek: Bella Possidente</Title>
<Tagline>Lighthouse: An animated film</Tagline>

When a lighthouse is damaged by a violent storm, its keeper must go on a journey to fix it and restore light to the surrounding area. The film was inspired by an odd concept that stuck in my mind—a lighthouse standing alone in a field, surrounded by wind-blown grasses that mimic the movement of ocean waves. By telling one character’s story, the film showcases a very small part of that world. The sound design adds reality to the film and is paired with whimsical visuals to create a strong environmental mood. Having the freedom to record foley and compose an original soundtrack made it possible to match the emotional tone of the story and use the audio as an additional means to communicate information. The visuals make use of simple shapes and limited colors to clearly and efficiently communicate action, setting, and tone. Completing an ambitious project in a short time influenced many design decisions in the interest of making the final product achievable. Ultimately, the time constraint was instrumental in bringing out the level of quality present in the finished work.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><div><span>Mentor: Corrie Parks</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Come see Bella's film and other undergraduate research and creative work, April 22-29th at URCAD.umbc.edu!</span></div></div></div>

How did Blair - better known to the public as leftist firebrand George Orwell - reconcile his personal political view with the messages his position required him to send? Scholars and historians often discuss Orwell's career in relation to his two greatest novels, <em>Animal Farm</em> and <em>1984</em>. The straightforward prose and the earnest intellectual tone for which his novels became known also served a valuable role in his contribution to Britain's war effort in India and southeast Asia. Drawing on Orwell's early fiction, letters, and essays, as well as selected transcripts of the BBC broadcasts he created, this paper reveals the significant ways in which Orwell's pre-war experiences shaped his wartime writing. Approaching Orwell's wartime BBC broadcasts to India as the work of a conflicted but deeply committed British patriot, rather than framing them as the warnings of a disillusioned oracle, gives both scholars and the public a more complete picture of this fascinating and still mysterious literary giant.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Mentor: Daniel </span>Ritschel</div><div><br></div><div><span>Come see Meredith's  presentation and other undergraduate research and creative work, April 22-29th at URCAD.umbc.edu!</span></div></div>
