Geospatial Forum with Dr. Diego Riveros-Iregui (UNC Chapel Hill)

Jordan Hall 5103 2800 Faucette Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

A rapidly growing body of work suggests mountain streams emit surprisingly large amounts of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Studies in these environments are scarce and estimates of CO2 fluxes from aquatic environments are poorly constrained. High-altitude tropical grasslands, known as “páramos,” are characterized by high solar radiation, high precipitation, and low temperature. They also…

Geospatial Forum with Prof. Catherine D’Ignazio (MIT)

Jordan Hall 5103 2800 Faucette Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

As data, including geospatial data, are increasingly mobilized in the service of governments and corporations, their unequal conditions of production, their asymmetrical methods of application, and their unequal effects on both individuals and groups have become increasingly difficult for data scientists–and others who rely on data in their work–to ignore. But it is precisely this…

MEAS Department Seminar

Speaker – Anna B. Lowe, Postdoc, MEAS – NCState (hosted by R. He) Seminar Title – Modeling of coastal processes and Lagrangian transport around the Monterey Peninsula Abstract – The Monterey Peninsula is an ecologically important area, highlighted by numerous marine protected areas (MPAs), but little is known about the specific circulation processes that support its species-rich ecosystems. This…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Daniela Jones (NC State)

Jordan Hall 5103 2800 Faucette Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

Biomass feedstock utilization has the potential to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and improve energy security while decarbonizing our energy needs. Energy crops, short rotation woody crops, municipal solid waste, and agricultural and forest residues are considered promising sources of renewable energy. Computer modeling has proven to be a key tool towards minimizing logistics cost.…
