Advanced Plate Tectonics – 720p – Professor Paul Wessel Dept. of Geology & Geophysics

Plate tectonics is the unifying paradigm for Earth Sciences and links phenomena such as past climates, tectonism, volcanic events, and evolution of life. As discussed in our 2009 EOS Trans. AGU article, the Seminar on Advanced Plate Tectonics was offered by the Dept. of Geology & Geophysics in the Schoold of Ocean & Earth Science & Technology in Fall 2008. We examined modeling and analysis techniques used in the kinematic study of plate tectonics, which has seen many technical innovations over the last decade not yet in textbooks. We first reviewed seafloor morphology and its expressions in potential fields, the magnetic anomalies left by seafloor spreading and their interpretation, the status of seafloor and seamount chronology, and use of paleomagnetism. Unlike recent plate motions studied by GPS or VLBI, the analysis of past plate motions requires the use of finite rotations; we thus reviewed the basics (spherical trigonometry, matrix operations for rotations, quaternions, etc.) and proceeded to study techniques used to model relative (RPM) and absolute (APM) plate motions. A novel aspect of this course was eight remote guest lectures by leading experts from around the world. These talks were delivered via Skype or iChat and recorded, merged with the PowerPoint or KeyNote presentations, converted to video podcasts, and made available here in both 480p (iPod, iPhone) and 720p (Apple TV) resolutions.

Room 20

The sign above his hospital bed called him Sixty-Six Garage. For more than 15 years, he would lay there unidentified and unconscious. Or so, everyone believed. From L.A. Times Studios and the team that brought you “Dirty John” and “Man in the Window,” comes “Room 20,” a story about the search for a man’s identity and the truth about his accident. Investigative reporter Joanne Faryon’s two-year journey is filled with twists and turns. Now, she'll finally reveal who Garage really is. But one important question remained for her upon this discovery: has Garage been conscious this entire time? This series was produced by L.A. Times Studios with support from Neon Hum Media. Read More

Personal Training Specialization Exercise Videos – Kinesiology and Health Education

These videos teach the fundamentals of a dynamic warm up. Dynamic Warm Ups involve movement, rather than static stretching, to prepare your body for what you will actually do in the upcoming workout, utilizing activity or sport specific movements. Dynamic warm ups also target areas of the body that tend to be tight or locked down: the goal is to open them up so they are able to load and unload your body weight safely and efficiently. Because life and sport happen in all three planes, we need to warm up and train in all three planes of motion. These dynamic warm ups use a matrix system, where we tweak different fundamental movements in all three planes. For a general dynamic warm up, we focus on getting proper motion in the foot/ankle, hips and thoracic spine. We use different body parts as what we’ll call drivers, to drive the body through movement. We have classified the movements based on the number of points of contact, or external stability. Level 1 movements have 3 points of contact, such as two hands on the wall and one foot on the ground, while the other foot is used as a driver. Level 2 movements have just 2 points of contact: typically two feet on the ground using the upper body and arms as drivers. Level 3 movements will have one or no points of contact. These activities include some sort of locomotion, or flight phase, like lunging, running, or shuffling. The final level, four, incorporates some type of overload with these movements, such as driving a dumbbell with the arms. A well- designed Dynamic Warm Up uses a combination of different levels, while tweaking in all three planes of motion, to address movement through the foot/ankle, hips, and thoracic spine. These Dynamic Warm Ups start by isolating each target area, using all three planes of motion. Examples of each of the levels will help you see how to warm up using three, then two and then one or no points of stability. The goal is to allow the body to “move” and work as it was intended to – with integrated and sequential movement patterns, rather than isolating individual body parts. The Dynamic Warm Up trains movement, not muscles – which should improve performance, whether you are a world class athlete or a beginning exerciser. **Acknowledgement** Dixie Stanforth, Ph.D., directs the undergraduate Specialization in Personal Training at UT Austin.
