The final update of the Fall 2024 semester for UMBC Mock Trial reflects that both "stacked" teams - UMBC A and UMBC B - were in action this past weekend, and they both had outstanding finishes to wrap up one of the most successful fall semesters in program history.

UMBC A traveled to Columbia University for the Columbia University Big Apple Invitational Tournament (CUBAIT), widely recognized as one of the nation's elite invitational tournaments. Despite being shorthanded due to a few competitors who were ill, UMBC A rose to the challenge and went undefeated at CUBAIT, earning second place and not losing a single ballot! UMBC A only missed out on first place by a strength of schedule tiebreak, and swept teams from Fordham University, the University of Wisconsin, American University, and the University of Maryland. President Fadil Adeite was named an Outstanding Attorney on both sides of the case - his third consecutive tournament earning double-sided awards - and Treasurer Nathan Yates was named an Outstanding Witness on both sides of the case as well. 

UMBC B was also on the road, as they traveled to Dickinson College for the Green Devil Napping Tie Scrimmage Tournament. While this scrimmage tournament did not have "places" because it was designed to give teams extra practice, UMBC B still had an outstanding weekend. They won three of their four trials, which would have easily meant placing at a normal tournament, and they also earned two individual awards! Team co-captain Gracin O'Connor was named an Outstanding Witness and Destiny Russell was named an Outstanding Attorney. 

This weekend finishes a remarkable fall campaign for UMBC Mock Trial, including seven team awards:
  • Fifth Place, UMBC Charm City Classic Invitational
  • Third Place, William & Mary Colonial Classic Invitational
  • Fourth Place, William & Mary Colonial Classic Invitational 
  • Sixth Place, Haverford Black Squirrel Invitational
  • Second Place, Columbia University Big Apple Invitational
  • Spirit of Charm City, UMBC Charm City Classic Invitational
  • Spirit of AMTA Award, William & Mary Colonial Classic Invitational
In addition to these team awards, UMBC competitors won fifteen individual awards over the fall semester, an average of over two per tournament. 

UMBC Mock Trial couldn't wrap up the fall semester without shouting out Head Coach Thomas Azari '22, who has continued to coach and lead our program despite being a first-year law student at Maryland Carey Law. His support, along with that of Chichi Ukeje '23, Natalie Murray '22, and Faculty Advisor Ben Garmoe '13, has helped students and student leaders grow and succeed during this remarkable run of success. 

UMBC Mock Trial now turns their focus to January invitationals and Regionals in February, where they begin their quest to return to the National Championship Tournament in April. UMBC Mock Trial has qualified for Nationals in six of the last eight seasons, and are confident that the spring will bring even more success. Thank you as always to all of you for your continued support!

Title
Leveraging Physical Principles in Deep Learning to Study Arctic Sea Ice

Committee
Abstract
The Arctic region is undergoing rapid environmental changes, with sea ice loss being a prominent indicator. Accurate prediction of sea ice thickness and extent is crucial for understanding climate change impacts and informing policy decisions. Traditional climate models often struggle to capture the complex interactions between atmospheric, oceanic, and sea ice processes. In recent years, machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool for analyzing large datasets and making accurate predictions. However, machine learning models, while capable of capturing complex patterns, can sometimes produce unrealistic or physically implausible results. To address this limitation, we propose a novel approach that combines the power of machine learning with the rigor of physical principles. By integrating physics-informed techniques into machine learning models, we aim to develop more accurate and reliable predictions of sea ice conditions.

Physics-Informed Machine Learning (PIML) is a novel approach that blends traditional scientific models with the pattern-recognition capabilities of machine learning to improve predictions of sea ice thickness. By leveraging both data-driven and physics-based knowledge, PIML offers more accurate and reliable predictions, even in data-scarce environments. This approach is particularly well-suited for studying complex systems like the Arctic sea ice. Our research introduces Physics-Encoded Neural Networks (PeNNs) to predict snow density. PeNNs embed physical laws directly into the neural network architecture, enabling the estimation of hidden physical properties from observable data. This makes PeNNs highly effective for tracking snow and ice conditions with precision. Additionally, we developed a physics-guided model (PGM) to investigate the causal link between sea ice loss and increased turbulence in the Beaufort Gyre through wind current. By incorporating physical constraints, the PGM ensures that predictions align with known scientific principles, aiding in the understanding of these causal relationships. Our proposed models offer a more comprehensive approach to studying Arctic sea ice. By integrating physics into machine learning, we aim to create tools that are both accurate and interpretable. This research provides valuable insights into Arctic climate change and demonstrates how physics can enhance the capabilities of machine learning models, leading to a deeper understanding of the impacts of sea ice loss.
