Center for Island, Maritime, and Extreme Environment Security
Page Mon, 2010-08-09 14:19 — adminCIMES is focused on developing robust research and strong educational programs in geographic areas that present significant homeland security challenges. Its goal is to deliver revolutionary advances in maritime domain security capabilities that will allow for the eventual development and fielding of critically needed new capabilities. Guided by informed assessment of the DHS maritime problem suite, CIMES will achieve success in a number of scientific and technical areas of direct relevance to DHS. CIMES will closely coordinate its efforts with the National Center for Secure and Resilient Maritime Commerce and Coastal Environments (CSR) located at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken New Jersey.

CIMES partners with BORDERS to Support DHS and United States Air Force (USAF) Needs
Page Mon, 2011-02-07 15:18 — adminA partnership between CIMES, BORDERS and USAF, under the direction of Dr. Kevin Montgomery from Intelesense Technologies, has received funding to conduct research and development of advanced sensor systems in support of USAF Surgeon General needs in the area of directed energy detection and other sensing. The objective of the effort is to develop and refine a modular sensing platform built into a ruggedized monitoring device. A second optional phase of the project involves conversion of the sensing prototype for airborne unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) use.CIMES Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Laurea University, Finland
Page Mon, 2011-02-07 14:49 — adminIn October CIMES signed an MOA with the Finland's Laurea University of Applied Sciences/Safety and Security Management. The goal of this collaboration is to transition some of the technology developed by CIMES principal investigators for use in the Baltic Sea and Finland's coastal waterways. Of particular interest in the Unmanned Port Security Vessel for surveying in shallow and frequently flooded environments.UPRM receives DHS Scientific Leadership Award

University of Puerto Rico, MayaguezEducation and Training of Students on Maritime Domain and Port Security at UPRM
CIMES researchers at the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez (UPRM) successfully solicited funding for their program entitled “Education and Training of Students on Maritime Domain and Port Security at UPRM” from the DHS’ Scientific Leadership Awards for Minority Serving Institutions Granting Bachelor Degrees. The three-year project, led by Drs. Vidya Manian (PI), Hector Carlo (Co-PI) and Miguel Canals (Co-PI from CSR), will increase minority participation in DHS-related science and technology by the addition of course modules that will have a broader audience. The expectation is that about 100 students per year will be impacted by the course additions.
Changing Climate Means Changing Oceans
Page Fri, 2011-01-21 11:35 — adminScientists who study the oceans say the effects of climate change are already being seen in the world's oceans. From acidification and warming temperatures to sea-level rise and sea-ice loss, Ira Flatow and guests look at how the oceans are changing with changes in climate.

Education
During the first year most of the Education & Outreach efforts were dedicated to establishing the infrastructure and defining the programs for Year 2 and forward. First, it was decided by the Executive Committee that Puerto Rico, specifically, Dr. José Colucci, PE, will direct these efforts. The vast experience and existing support infrastructure of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez in this area was a determining factor in this decision. Also
