Michigan Tech's Planetary Surface Technology Development Lab is making a name for itself in the aerospace industry with innovative ideas and engineering prowess. We shadowed the PSTDL team for a year to learn the secrets of their success.

The PSTDL is a group of space-obsessed graduate and undergraduate students who compete in a variety of NASA Centennial Challenges — a series of competitions offering financial prizes for devising technology that helps advance NASA's goal to support a sustained human presence on the moon. And, although the PSTDL's broomball record puts them squarely in the middle of the intramural pack, their record in aerospace engineering competitions is in a class of its own.

These self-described space nerds do one thing and do it well: They set ambitious goals for themselves — and they achieve every single one.

Read their story in our 2024 Michigan Tech Magazine.

CFRES Seminar with Jason Keller

The College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science (CFRES) will host a seminar at 12:30 p.m. today (March 14) in Noblet G002 with speaker Jason Keller, Kravis Professor of Integrated Sciences: Ecology, Claremont McKenna College.

The title of Keller's talk is "Microbial reduction of organic matter as a key control of methane production in northern peatland ecosystems."

From the abstract:
Northern peatlands are among the most important ecosystems in the global climate — storing massive amounts of carbon in their soils and emitting the potent greenhouse gas methane to the atmosphere. Methane production in peatlands is regulated by complex interactions between microbial and plant communities, and unraveling this complexity remains a key challenge for understanding peatland-climate feedbacks in the face of ongoing global change. Much of my team’s research over the past decade has focused on the microbial reduction of organic matter, i.e., the use of organic terminal electron acceptors in microbial respiration in northern peatland soils. Our work adds to a growing consensus that this process can be an important pathway of anaerobic decomposition while suppressing methane production in these ecosystems. Ongoing projects are utilizing ‘peat peepers’ to explore how microbial organic matter reduction (and concomitant methane production) respond to global change and are beginning to leverage metabolomic approaches to investigate the organic compounds involved in this process.

MSE Seminar with Alexandra Glover

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is hosting a seminar presented by Assistant Professor Alexandra Glover today (March 14) at 1 p.m. in M&M 610.

Glover's presentation is titled "Application of Advanced Characterization Methods to Metal Alloys."

From the abstract:
Recent technological advancements have enabled the development of new techniques for the microstructural and mechanical characterization of metallic alloys. Here, several advanced techniques will be presented in the context of previous and ongoing research programs. Topics will include in-situ and ex-situ neutron diffraction experiments, digital image correlation techniques for mechanical testing, and high-resolution microscopy using transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD) in conjunction with scanning transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM). Applications discussed will be the development of next-generation advanced high-strength alloys, the study of deformation-induced phase transformations, and the optimization of advanced manufacturing processes. As some of these characterization techniques will become available at Michigan Tech in the near future, this talk is intended to provide a primer on their use with the intention of spurring new research directions at Michigan Tech.

Glover is an assistant professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Michigan Technological University. Previously, she was an R&D engineer in the Sigma Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where she served as a technical lead for thermomechanical processing and metal component fabrication. She holds a Ph.D. from the Colorado School of Mines in metallurgical and materials engineering and a B.S. in Material Science and Engineering from Michigan Tech. Her research interests include the development of high-performance ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, workability assessments of metals and the characterization of microstructure-mechanical property relationships for multi-phase materials at a variety of length scales.

BioSci Seminar Series Speakers: Maci Quintanilla and Mitch Kehne

Maci Quintanilla and Mitch Kehne will present as part of the Department of Biological Sciences (BioSci) Seminar Series today (March 14) from 3-4 p.m. in GLRC 202.

The first presentation is titled "Ecophysiological response of heterotrophic bacteria to ice-cover in temperate freshwaters."

From the abstract:
The fate of carbon in temperate freshwaters is largely dependent on the transformation and mineralization of dissolved organic matter (DOM) through microbially-mediated processes. More than half of the ~117 million lakes on Earth are subject to seasonal freezing, but microbial processes in seasonally frozen, temperate freshwaters have historically been studied primarily during summer. As atmospheric temperatures rise due to climate change, many seasonally frozen lakes are at risk of losing their ice-cover, imparting a clear need to understand microbial processes during ice-cover now and in a changing world. Here, we used samples from the Keweenaw Waterway that were collected weekly during ice-cover and monthly during ice-free periods in 2022 and 2023 for physiological assays and microbial community composition. Results of physiological assays revealed elevated leucine:thymidine ratios during ice-covered periods compared to ice-free periods, indicating that heterotrophic bacteria shifted more towards metabolic maintenance during ice-cover. We predicted that certain bacterial groups would be enriched during periods of ice-cover, but that the abundant groups identified by 16S rRNA genes differ from those identified by transcripts. Groups identified by transcripts are presumably active and could be associated with the observed physiological patterns.

The second presentation is titled "Assessing the Nutritional Quality and Fate of Saginaw Bay Dreissenid Mussel Veligers."

From the abstract:
The introduction and establishment of dreissenid mussels into the Laurentian Great Lakes in the 1980s has resulted in significant biological and ecological change in this system. Research on dreissenid mussel effects in the Great Lakes has primarily focused on the adult life stages, with less known about the larval veliger form. Veligers range in size from approximately 70 – 200 μm with abundances in Great Lakes waters reaching 10,000s ind/m 3 during peak spawning times. This size range and abundance suggest that dreissenid veligers could represent a potentially abundant food resource for predatory zooplankton, larval fish, and planktivorous fish species. However, little is currently known regarding the nutritional quality of veligers as a food resource or the extent to which veliger production is assimilated by higher trophic level consumers. This research proposes to investigate i) dreissenid veliger energy densities and fatty acid profiles as indicators of their nutritional quality and; ii) determine the fate of veliger carbon within zooplankton and bacterioplankton communities of Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. Preliminary results of 14 C labeling experiments demonstrate uptake of veliger derived organic carbon by zooplankton and bacterioplankton. Fatty acid profiles demonstrate veligers to have lower concentrations of polyunsaturated compounds including EPA, DHA, and ALA relative to bulk zooplankton. These results provide baseline information regarding veliger nutritional quality and fate of veliger production within the lower trophic levels of Lake Huron.
