SUMMARY:The Changing American Landscape and its Connection to Climate
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Evan DeLucia- “The Changing American Landscape and its Connection to Climate”\n \nUniversity of Illinois-Urbana Champaign \nNov 9 – Washington State University; CUB 210: Jr Ballroom East; 4:10 pm \nNov 10 – University of Idaho; REN 125; 12:30 pm \nThe earliest human civilizations managed land with fire\, and later vast areas of the Earth’s surface were transformed by intensive agriculture. As we change the type of vegetation on the land surface and how it is managed\, we directly affect the climate system. Terrestrial ecosystems exchange greenhouse gases – carbon dioxide\, nitrous oxide\, methane – with the atmosphere\, determining its ability to trap heat. The type of vegetation also determines how much solar radiation is reflected and how much energy is carried away by evaporation. The DeLucia laboratory has created a single metric – climate regulating value (CRV) that quantifies how land uses affect the climate system. Second only to the expansion of intensive\, row-crop agriculture\, a new bioenergy economy – one that depends on plants to produce liquid fuel – has the potential to alter the coupling of land and atmosphere. By combining field scale measurements of biogeochemical processes with coupled ecological-economic models\, we demonstrate that the expansion of bioenergy crops in the rain fed eastern US can provide fuel and mitigate the emission of greenhouse gases e.g. provide a favorable CRV\, while having minimal effects on the food supply. Our research suggests that expanded use of cellulosic biofuels can have a positive effect on the US energy portfolio. \nDr. Evan DeLucia is an active researcher\, educator\, and innovator in the Department of Plant Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His major accomplishments include becoming a G. William Arends Professor of Biology\, founding director of the Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, Department Head of Plant Biology\, director of the School of Integrative Biology\, chair of the Physiological Ecology Section of the Ecological Society\, member of the American Association of Plant Physiologists\, member of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations\, and advisor to members of the US congress and the National Academy of Sciences on the effects of the carbon cycle and the trophic dynamics between plants and insects. Most recently\, Dr. DeLucia became director of the Institute for Sustainability\, Energy\, and Environment whose aim is to synergize environmental efforts on the University of Illinois campus with nearby cities by promoting green sustainability education and outreach. Additionally\, Dr. DeLucia serves as a peer-review editor for Ecology\, Oecologia\, Tree Physiology\, and Global Change Biology. He received his M.F.S at Yale University in forest ecology\, Ph.D. at Duke University in plant ecology and physiology\, was a Bullard Fellow at Harvard University\, and a Fulbright Fellow at Landcare Research in New Zealand.

SUMMARY:Solar Roadways
DESCRIPTION:The American Chemical Society is sponsoring: Solar Roadways \nNov 16 – Washington State University; Fulmer Hall\, room 201 \nSolar Roadways (SR) is an advanced\, disruptive\, solar technology that proposes to replace driving and walking surfaces with an intelligent road system. SR has countless features that transform roadways into a safer\, aesthetically pleasing\, interactive surface. SR was specifically engineered to replace: sidewalks\, parking lots\, driveways\, sports courts\, roads\, and highways with unique solar panels which can pay for themselves over time with the collection of renewable energy. This presentation will cover: the history of Solar Roadways\, the prototypes and funding\, research and development\, features\, applications\, design\, and technical details. \nSolar Roadways is a local company with a global solution. Solar Roadways proposes making solar panels capable of generating enough energy to power homes and businesses\, recharging electronic cars\, heating the roadways to effectively manage snow and ice\, illuminating road lines and sidewalks for improved safety\, and improving traffic flow. This technology would revolutionize our current roadways\, aid in the economic recovery by creating thousands of jobs (computer chip manufacturing\, panel assembly\, installation\, maintenance\, system monitoring\, panel refurbishing\, and distribution)\, provide easy road maintenance (replacing one panel at a time rather than whole sections of road)\, and significantly reduce our dependence on fossil fuels (coal and gas).

DESCRIPTION:“Regional-scale modeling in the Columbia River: From monitoring to climate change”\n\nBart Nijssen\nCivil and Environmental Engineering\, University of Washington \nThe Columbia River\, located in the northwestern United States with headwaters in Canada\, is intensely managed for hydropower generation\, irrigation\, flood control\, ecosystem services (particularly salmonids)\, navigation\, and recreation. Effects of anthropogenic climate change already manifest themselves in the Pacific Northwest through reduced winter snow accumulation at lower elevations and earlier spring melt. As the climate warms\, the Columbia River\, whose flow regime is heavily dependent on seasonal snow melt\, is likely to experience significant changes in the timing of its seasonal hydrograph and possibly in total flow volume. This presentation will discuss regional-scale hydrologic modeling applications in the Columbia River Basin from near real-time monitoring of surface hydrologic conditions to climate change studies. \nBio: Bart Nijssen is an Research Associate Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Washington\, where he heads the Computational Hydrology group\, consisting of about 10 scientists and graduate students. The group builds tools to simulate and investigate the terrestrial hydrological cycle and uses these tools for a wide range of hydrologic research projects. We investigate the effects of climate change on the hydrologic cycle\, perform near real-time monitoring and forecasting studies for drought and streamflow\, simulate the interactions between the various components of the climate system in coupled regional climate models\, develop and analyze large datasets\, and along the way we write a lot of code that we are happy to share with others.

SUMMARY:Not Such Strange Bedfellows: Bringing Science\, Nature\, and Nature Imagery to Prisons
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nalini Nadkarni will be accepting the William Julius Wilson Award for the Advancement of Social Justice and presenting: \n“Not Such Strange Bedfellows: Bringing Science\, Nature\, and Nature Imagery to Prisons”  (CUB Auditorium\, WSU Pullman)\n \nDr. Nadkarni is a world-renowned forest ecologist who works to bring science and job training to prisons. Her innovative efforts promote social inclusiveness of prisoners and reduce post-prison joblessness. “One of the most pressing problems facing society today is the increasing distance between humans and nature\,” Nadkarni says. “Another issue—seemingly unrelated—is the failure of our system of incarceration to provide inmates with the education and experiences they need to become useful citizens after release.” \nTo address both of these problems\, Nadkarni has worked with corrections systems in Washington state and across the country to bring science and nature/conservation projects to the incarcerated\, from prisoners in minimum security to those in solitary confinement. In her presentation\, she will describe her successes and challenges she has faced at the convergence of academic science and state corrections. \nWashington State University created the William Julius Wilson Award for the Advancement of Social Justice in 2009 to honor individuals who promote social inclusiveness and diversity in social policies and strive to reduce joblessness.  The award is named after William Julius Wilson\, who received his PhD in sociology from WSU in 1966. Professor Wilson is widely considered one of the nation’s most influential sociologists.
