Dynamics of Multi‐component Fluids near Interfaces

FBO–EHA 101 Bevier Road, Piscataway, NJ, United States

Speaker: Sepideh Razavi, University of Oklahoma. Abstract: Presence of complex solutions composed of fluids, ions, surfactant molecules, and colloidal particles is commonplace in problems relevant to materials discovery and manufacturing. Such multicomponent fluidic systems are often confined by interfaces in processes associated with the water-energy nexus as well, for example, in membrane separations and subsurface energy recovery and storage. To ...

Asymmetric and Non-Monotonic Response of the Climate System to Idealized CO2 Forcing

ENR-223 14 College Farm Rd, New Brunswick, NJ, United States

Speaker: Ivan Mitevski, Princeton University.  Abstract: Many studies commonly assume linearity when investigating the climate system's response to CO2 perturbations in Earth System Models. The primary objective of this work is to thoroughly analyze this linearity assumption in a hierarchy of modeling experiments with CO2 concentrations decreasing to 1/8th and increasing up to 8 times the pre-industrial values. We explore ...

Webinar: Fire’s Role in Ecosystem Health

Speaker: Jeremy Webber, NJ Forest Fire Service. Sponsored by Rutgers .  Abstract: For the fire element, we will explore how prescribed fire not only aids in protecting life and property from the catastrophic wildfire, but also how it supports ecosystem health. Prescribed fire used appropriately can benefit habitats for both flora and fauna, while also supporting hazardous fuel and invasive ...
