During a fierce dust storm on the planet Mars, NASA astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is impaled by an antenna, which destroys his suit’s bio-monitor computer. His crewmates presume he’s dead and flee the planet, leaving him behind. Mark’s injuries turn out to be relatively minor, but he must now try to survive, with few supplies, on his own. He uses his skills as a botanist in order to grow food and make water, while trying to figure out how to get a signal to Earth in order to let someone – anyone – know he’s still alive.

The theory of implicature, formulated by the philosopher Paul Grice, has been used in health care settings to understand the implications behind what people say. This presentation will offer initial thoughts on the application of the theory of implicature to the provision of information services in dementia care: by using the theory to extract patterns of implication in the communications of individuals with dementia, and linking those patterns to the syndetic practices of information organization, we might be able to enhance and prolong meaningful communication between caregivers and individuals with dementia, and provide better means of keeping both individuals with dementia and their caregivers with the necessary information supports.

Identifying students at risk for self-injury: Informing school-based prevention efforts through research by Dr. Chloe Hamza
All are welcome. Bring your lunch and we will supply coffee and cookies.
Please RSVP to tbeynen@uwo.ca
Description:
Given that mental health issues often co-occur with academic difficulties, schools provide an important context for the early identification of student mental health needs. One serious and widespread mental health issue that has received increased attention in recent years is nonsuicidal self-injury (e.g., self-cutting without lethal intent). In particular, there has been mounting concern among parents, educators, and school practitioners that nonsuicidal self-injury may be associated with increased risk for suicidal behavior among students. In my presentation, I will explore findings on the link between these two forms of self-injurious behavior, and present research that I have done to assist schools in identifying students most at risk for suicidal behavior.

ABSTRACT
The inner solar system contains very interesting planets in the so-called habitable zone. They are Venus, Earth and Mars. During their existence, they suffered many collisions with smaller bodies—The Earth, in particular, where a huge collision is supposed to have created the Earth–Moon system more than 4 billion years ago. The most violent era was the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) which ended about 3.8 billion years ago, but collisions of planetary scale continue to the present day.
My interest is the study of orbits and the origins of the minor bodies which have collisions and close encounters with the terrestrial planets after the LHB. I will present some of my dynamical studies on the orbital evolutions of minor bodies of the solar system and their interactions with the terrestrial planets, plus some observations and photometric studies I have done of comets and asteroids.
Refreshments will be available.

Karin Jones is a Vancouver-based artist with a background in jewellery and metalsmithing. While in the Master of Fine Arts program at NSCAD University in Halifax in 2012/2013, she began exploring hair as a craft medium, a marker of race and culture, and an expression of feminine identity. Halfway through her MFA, she was hired as an instructor at Vancouver Community College's Jewellery Art and Design program, where she now teaches part-time, and will return to Halifax to complete her degree in 2017. Her work has been exhibited internationally, most recently at the Royal Ontario Museum, and the National Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis, Tennessee.

Large continental-scale ice sheets have covered nearly all of Canada and parts of the US and large parts of northern Europe many times (50+?) in the last 2.5 million years. They have moved large volumes of sediment and eroded out the Great Lake basins and dramatically altered Canada’s coastlines. Common landforms left behind are elongate ridges called drumlins and much longer more narrow landforms called megaridges that together cover as much as 40% of the area of former glaciation. Despite their wide extent, and more than 100 years of study, their origin(s) are still poorly understood and yet are key to reconstructing the footprints and flow paths of ancient ice sheets.
Some work suggests that drumlins are related to systematic Raleigh-Taylor instabilities at the ice bed interface where ice rests on soft thick till creating incipient ‘bumps’ that ‘grow up’ but this it at odds with observations that drumlin cores are made of other materials that were not deformable.
The erodent layer hypothesis (ELH) proposes that drumlinization is primarily an erosional process that cuts an unconformity across pre-existing bed materials. Drumlins most commonly have autochthonous cores of antecedent till(s), other stiff and coarse-grained sediment and rock or any combination thereof, and are also found closely juxtaposed with rock drumlins within the same flow sets (‘mixed beds’). ELH argues that drumlins ‘grow down’ by erosional carving of pre-existing stiff till, sediment and/or rock by a thin (< 1 m) layer of deforming subglacial debris which abrades its substrate. This process is well known to the science of tribology (the study of wearing surfaces) where remnant micro-drumlins, ridges and grooves comparable to drumlins and megaridges are cut by debris (‘erodent layers’) between surfaces in relative motion. In the subglacial setting the erodent layer comprises deforming diamict containing harder ‘erodents’ such as boulders, clast-rich zones or frozen rafts. Similar, till-like erodent layers (cataclasites) cut streamlined surfaces below gravity-driven mass flows such as rock avalanches, landslides and slumps, pyroclastic flows and debris flows; streamlined surfaces including drumlin-like ‘ellipsoidal bumps’ and ridges are also common on the surfaces of faults.
This talk will explore an erosional model for drumlins and will outline an evolutionary succession from megadrumlins, drumlins to long highly elongate megaridges. This appears to record the progressive dissection of large streamlined bedforms to form successively more elongate daughter drumlins and megaridges (‘clones’) as the bed is lowered to create a low-slip surface that allows fast ice flow and ice ‘streaming’ within large ice sheets. Clones are the ‘missing links’ in the continuum.
ELH suggests that there is a fundamental commonality of all forms of erosional wear and streamlining on sliding interfaces on geological and man-made surfaces from the microscopic scale to the macroscopic scale of ice sheet beds.
