Speaker: Jiaqi Shen, Rutgers University.  Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a class of highly reactive oxygen-bearing molecules including the hydroxyl radical (OH), superoxide radical (O2.-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). When aerosols encounter water, either in clouds or in lungs, they generate ROS in quantities that impact cloud chemistry and potentially underly aerosol-induced health impacts. Because ROS generation may be a ...

Going to the Rutgers University Dance Marathon (RUDM)? Don’t forget to compost! The OCA Sustainability Ambassadors are teaming up with RUDM, Institutional Planning & Operations, and the EcoComplex to offer composting for the first time ever at this year’s Dance Marathon. Rutgers University Dance Marathon (RUDM) is the largest, student-run philanthropic event in New Jersey. RUDM’s mission is to provide ...

Speaker: Kayode Atoba, Texas A&M University.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
