AN ATLANTIC MARINE ENERGY CENTER (AMEC) FOR ADVANCING THE MARINE RENEWABLE ENERGY INDUSTRY AND POWERING THE BLUE ECONOMY$12,758,888
· FY2021 · Department of Energy
PROJECT OBJECTIVES: THE ATLANTIC MARINE ENERGY CENTER (AMEC) WILL ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES TO
ACCELERATE THE TRANSITION OF MARINE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES TO MARKET. ACTIVITIES PROPOSED UNDER THIS
APPLICATION FALL INTO FIVE CATEGORIES:
1. MARINE ENERGY SHORT COURSE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
2. STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
3. R&D TO SUPPORT ADVANCEMENT OF THE MARINE ENERGY INDUSTRY
4. IMPROVEMENTS TO INFRASTRUCTURE OR TEST FACILITIES
5. COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN
TECHNICAL SCOPE SUMMARY: FOR MARINE ENERGY SHORT COURSE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION, AMEC, IN
CONSULTATION WITH THE OTHER NATIONAL MARINE ENERGY CENTERS, IS PROPOSING TO DESIGN, IMPLEMENT AND
ARCHIVE A SERIES OF MARINE ENERGY SHORT COURSES. THESE WILL INCLUDE GENERAL, FOUNDATIONAL COURSES
THAT INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO CONCEPTS OF MARINE ENERGY, AND MORE IN-DEPTH COURSES ON SPECIFIC MARINE
ENERGY TOPICS OR ADVANCED TECHNICAL COURSES. THE MARINE ENERGY SHORT COURSES WILL FOLLOW A GENERAL
TIMELINE OF: PROGRAM DESIGN AND PLANNING IN YEAR 1, IMPLEMENTATION OF MARINE ENERGY SHORT COURSES IN
YEARS 2-4, AND ARCHIVING AND CONTINUATION PANNING IN YEAR 5.
STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION WILL BE A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT THROUGH CONSULTATIONS WITH
OUR STAKEHOLDERS, PROJECT PARTNERS AND GUIDANCE FROM THE WPTO. WE WILL HOLD A STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT
WORKSHOP AND A SERIES OF CONSULTATION WORKSHOPS LED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ASSISTED BY A
STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT FACILITATOR, CULMINATING IN A STRATEGIC VISION REPORT, INCLUDING STRATEGY MAPS.
FOR R&D TO SUPPORT ADVANCEMENT OF THE ME INDUSTRY, WE GROUPED THE PROPOSED RESEARCH INTO THEMES:
DIGITAL TWINNING FOR TIDAL ENERGY CONVERSION, DIGITAL TWINNING FOR WAVE ENERGY CONVERSION, MARINE
ENERGY STRUCTURES AND MOORINGS, MARINE ENERGY SYSTEMS, AND SOCIAL SCIENCES AND STAKEHOLDER
ENGAGEMENT.
FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO INFRASTRUCTURE OR TEST FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT, FABRICATED EQUIPMENT,
INSTRUMENTATION, AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS ARE PROPOSED THAT EITHER DIRECTLY ENABLE THE MARINE ENERGY
R&D PROJECTS OR ENHANCE GENERAL CAPABILITIES TO CONDUCT RELEVANT MARINE ENERGY RESEARCH.
OUR COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN DESCRIBES IN DETAIL HOW THE PROPOSED R&D ALIGNS AND PROMOTES DOE GOALS
OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION AND ACCESSIBILITY, ENERGY EQUITY AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND
PROVIDES SMART MILESTONES AND DELIVERABLES.$12,175,000

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** NEW ENGLAND'S PREDOMINANTLY FORESTED LANDSCAPES PROVIDES MANY IMPORTANT GOODS AND SERVICES, INCLUDING STORING LARGE AMOUNTS OF CARBON, SUPPORTING BIODIVERSITY AND WILDLIFE HABITAT, AND SUSTAINING LOCAL ECONOMIES THROUGH TIMBER PRODUCTS, MAPLE SYRUP PRODUCTION, AND RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. HOWEVER, NEW ENGLAND FACES A CRITICAL CHALLENGE WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD PROVISIONING: AS ONE OF THE MOST HEAVILY FORESTED, DENSELY POPULATED AND AGRICULTURALLY LIMITED REGIONS IN THE U.S., ITS NEARLY 15 MILLION RESIDENTS RELY ON FOOD FROM OUTSIDE THE REGION TO MEET APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THEIR CONSUMPTION NEEDS. THESE CONDITIONS THREATEN THE REGION'S CAPACITY TO ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE, AND TO EFFECTIVELY RESPOND TO OTHER MAJOR DISRUPTIONS SUCH AS EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS, PANDEMICS, AND GAPS IN THE GLOBAL FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN. AT THE SAME TIME, NEW ENGLANDERS HAVE SHOWN GROWING DEMAND FOR LOCALLY PRODUCED, SUSTAINABLE, AND NUTRITIONALLY HEALTHY FOODS. MEETING THIS DEMAND MAY REQUIRE CONVERTING THE REGION'S FORESTS TO AGRICULTURE, POTENTIALLY DIMINISHING THE MANY SOCIETAL BENEFITS THAT FORESTS PROVIDE. OUR PROJECT ADDRESSES THIS CHALLENGE BY EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL FOR AGROFORESTRY--THE INTEGRATION OF TREES WITH CROPS AND/OR LIVESTOCK--TO PROVIDE A CLIMATE-SMART AND SUSTAINABLE STRATEGY FOR BOTH EXPANDING AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN NEW ENGLAND WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY PROMOTING IMPORTANT FOREST-BASED GOODS AND SERVICES--INCLUDING CLIMATE ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCE TO CHANGE.THREE AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS SUITABLE FOR THE NEW ENGLAND LANDSCAPE WILL BE DESIGNED AND TESTED AS PART OF THIS PROJECT: SILVOPASTURE (COMBINING TREES, PASTURE, AND LIVESTOCK ON THE SAME UNIT OF LAND), MULTISTRATA POLYCULTURES (INTEGRATION OF TREES, SHRUBS, AND HERBACEOUS SPECIES TO PRODUCE DIVERSE PRODUCTS), AND FOREST FARMING (CULTIVATION OF HERBACEOUS, SHRUB, AND SMALL TREE CROPS IN THE FOREST UNDERSTORY). RESEARCH AND DEMONSTRATION SITES WILL BE ESTABLISHED ON 3 UNIVERSITY AND 12 COOPERATOR FARMS AND SUPPORTED BY ~50 CASE STUDY SITES WITH EXISTING AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS. MEASUREMENTS WILL BE COLLECTED TO DETERMINE THE ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL BENEFITS AND TRADEOFFS OF EACH AGROFORESTRY SYSTEM. EXTENSION PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES WILL BE DEVELOPED TO TRAIN PROFESSIONALS AND OTHER INTERESTED GROUPS IN AGROFORESTRY TECHNIQUES, INCLUDING THE CREATION OF THE NEW ENGLAND AGROFORESTRY TRAINING PROGRAM (NEAT), AN AGROFORESTRY NETWORK, AN AGROFORESTRY CHAMPION PEER-TO-PEER MENTORING PROGRAM, AN AGROFORESTRY TRANSITION DECISION-MAKING MAP TOOL, AND DIVERSE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED TO ENGAGE DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATIONS IN EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES, INCLUDING A 4-H PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, A FOOD-FOREST PROGRAM FOR GRADE 4-8 EDUCATORS, AND INTERNSHIPS, COURSES, AND SEMINARS FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. RECRUITING EFFORTS FOR TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES WILL TARGET UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, WITH SEVERAL SCHOLARSHIPS OFFERED A,NNUALLY TO SUPPORT THEIR PARTICIPATION. PROJECT OUTCOMES INCLUDE TRAINING OVER 100 PARTICIPANTS IN NEAT AND OVER 900 PARTICIPANTS IN EXTENSION PROGRAMS, LEADING TO MORE THAN 200 NEW AGROFORESTRY ADOPTERS; ENGAGING AT LEAST 40 EDUCATORS, 80 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, AND 800 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS; AND TRAINING 6 GRADUATE STUDENTS AND 3 POSTDOCS IN AGROFORESTRY RESEARCH AND PRACTICE. IN THE LONG TERM, WE ANTICIPATE THAT THIS PROJECT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASING LOCAL FOOD PRODUCTION BY 15% AND ANNUAL CARBON SEQUESTRATION BY 5M TONS, WILL FOSTER NEW AGROFORESTRY MARKET OPPORTUNITIES, AND WILL ENHANCE NEW ENGLAND'S CAPACITY TO BALANCE FOOD PRODUCTION WITH THE BENEFITS THAT FORESTS PROVIDE.$10,000,000

THE GAMMA RAY POLARIMETER EXPERIMENT (GRAPE) IS DESIGNED TO INVESTIGATE ONE OF THE MOST EXOTIC PHENOMENA IN THE UNIVERSE GAMMA-RAY BURSTS (GRB). THERE HAS BEEN INTENSE OBSERVATIONAL AND THEORETICAL RESEARCH IN RECENT YEARS BUT RESEARCH IN THIS AREA HAS BEEN LARGELY FOCUSED ON STUDIES OF TIME HISTORIES SPECTRA AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTIONS. THEORETICAL MODELS SHOW THAT A MORE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THE INNER STRUCTURE OF GRBS INCLUDING THE GEOMETRY AND PHYSICAL PROCESSES CLOSE TO THE CENTRAL ENGINE REQUIRES THE EXPLOITATION OF GAMMA-RAY POLARIMETRY. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS WE HAVE DEVELOPED THE GRAPE INSTRUMENT TO MEASURE THE POLARIZATION OF GAMMA-RAYS FROM GRBS OVER THE ENERGY RANGE OF 50 TO 500 KEV. GRAPE IS A LARGE FOV INSTRUMENT WITH A SENSITIVE ENERGY RANGE COVERING THE PEAK ENERGY DISTRIBUTION OF GRBS. THE DESIGN IS BASED ON AN ARRAY OF INDEPENDENT MODULES EACH OF WHICH CONSISTS OF AN ARRAY OF (HIGH-Z AND LOW-Z) SCINTILLATOR ELEMENTS READ OUT BY A MULTI-ANODE PMT (MAPMT). OUR EVENTUAL GOAL IS TO FLY GRAPE ON A LONG DURATION BALLOON (LDB) PLATFORM OR AN ORBITING PLATFORM TO COLLECT DATA ON A SIGNIFICANT SAMPLE OF GRBS ALLOWING US TO PLACE CONSTRAINTS ON FUNDMENTAL GRB MODELS. OUR EXPERIENCE WITH TWO BALLOON FLIGHTS (IN 2011 AND 2014) COUPLED WITH FURTHER DESIGN EFFORTS FOCUSED ON ORBITAL PAYLOADS HAS LED TO AN IMPROVED POLARIMETER DESIGN. THE NEW DESIGN EMPLOYS A LARGE NUMBER OF OPTICALLY-ISOLATED SCINTILLATOR CUBES WITH INDEPENDENT SILICON PHOTOMULTIPLIER READOUT ARRANGED IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL ARRAY. THE RESULTING THREE-DIMENSIONAL LOCATION DATA PROVIDES A MODERATE LEVEL OF COMPTON IMAGING CAPABILITY (1 SIGMA ANGULAR RESOLUTION OF 10-15 DEGREES). THE IMAGING CAN NOT ONLY BE USED TO DETERMINE THE GRB LOCATION (ALBEIT WITH LIMITED ACCURACY) IT CAN ALSO BE USED TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE INSTRUMENTAL BACKGROUND BY LIMITING THE IMPACT OF THE COSMIC DIFFUSE FLUX IMPROVING THE POLARIZATION SENSITIVITY. IT IS THE BACKGROUND REDUCTION THAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IN THIS CASE. WE HAVE ALREADY EVALUATED SOME COMPONENTS OF THIS DESIGN AND ARE NOW PREPARED TO EMBARK ON AN EFFORT TO FABRICATE A PROTOTYPE TO BE VALIDATED ON A HIGH ALTITUDE BALLOON FLIGHT. THE PROPOSED FOUR YEAR PROGRAM COVERS THE FABRICATION OF A PROTOTYPE INSTRUMENT AND AN ENGINEERING BALLOON FLIGHT PALESTINE IN THE SUMMER OF 2021.$2,725,086
