Independently curated · UnclaimedD.G. Webster Research Group
Dartmouth College
D.G. Webster · Professor of Environmental Studies
What social-ecological processes prepare systems to design effective environmental governance? The research program studies precursors to governance and processes that make social-ecological systems ready for policy design. The program uses computational and agent-based modeling to study water quality management and regulatory feedbacks in systems such as the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The program led interdisciplinary projects including Fishscape (tropical tuna modeling) and NSF CNH grants to model human and estuarine dynamics. The program develops an institutional diagnostics toolkit to assess governance readiness and guide policy design.
Independently curated · UnclaimedElizabeth F. Smith Research Group
Dartmouth CollegeElizabeth F. Smith · Paul M. Dauten, Jr. Professor of Biological Sciences
How are specific axonemal components assembled to control ciliary motility? The group investigates assembly roles of proteins such as FAP57/WDR65 in inner arm dynein targeting and regulatory hubs. The group studies PACRG and FAP20 in forming inner junctions of axonemal doublet microtubules and their regulation of ciliary motility. The group analyzes microtubule-binding proteins that regulate dyneins during microtubule sliding to explain motility mechanisms. The group develops methods to analyze calcium/calmodulin signaling and other molecular mechanisms that control ciliary function.
Independently curated · UnclaimedEmpower Lab
Dartmouth CollegeElizabeth Murnane · Charles H. Gaut & Charles A. Norberg Assistant Professor of Engineering
How can interactive technology support health while reflecting the needs and experiences of people often underserved by existing tools? The Empower Lab develops digital therapeutics and behavioral interventions through human-centered design, with an emphasis on health equity. Researchers explore games, tangible objects, musical interfaces, immersive environments and socially assistive robots as forms for these technologies. Projects address mental health, women's health, mobility and pain, aging at home and childhood development. The work combines iterative design and prototyping with implementation, interviews, observation and user studies to develop and evaluate interactive tools.
Marisa C. Palucis Research Group
Dartmouth CollegeMarisa C. Palucis · Associate Professor of Earth Sciences
What was the timing and duration of water flow on Mars? The research group measures timing and duration of past aqueous flows on Mars by integrating field sedimentology with crater and stratigraphic constraints. The research group combines sedimentological, topographic, and climatic datasets with physical experiments to bridge particle- to landscape-scale processes. The research group conducts physical experiments and modeling to test mechanisms controlling channel morphology and sediment transport rates in steep streams. The research group investigates how and where debris flows initiate to constrain hazard processes and paleoenvironmental interpretation.
Independently curated · UnclaimedVicki May Research Group
Dartmouth CollegeVicki May · Professor of Engineering
How can teaching evaluation integrate multiple evidence sources to improve STEM teaching practices? The group is developing a system that integrates student assessments, peer observation, and self-reflection for teaching evaluation. The group pilots augmented student assessments focused on observable best practices rather than impressions. The group implements a consistent peer-observation protocol including guided pre-briefing and debrief sessions to support evidence-based evaluation. The group is assessing the pilot toward broader implementation to inform teaching-evaluation models in STEM.
