SUMMARY:Sea Level and Ice Sheet Stability During Past (and Future) Warming
DESCRIPTION:Event format: Online or in person \nWednesday\, October 11\, 2023. 11:30 AM. Sea Level and Ice Sheet Stability During Past (and Future) Warming. Jacky Austermann\, Columbia University. Sponsored by Rutgers Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. The virtual meeting can be found here. \nAbstract: Past warm periods serve as testing grounds to explore how major ice sheets respond to warming. In my work I work on reconstructing sea level during past warm periods including the Last interglacial (~125 ka)\, the mid-Pliocene warm period (~3 Ma)\, and the early Pliocene (~5 Ma) when temperatures were warmer than today (0.5-1.5 ºC\, 2-3 ºC\, ~4ºC relative to pre-industrial\, respectively). In this talk I will first focus on a Last Interglacial sea level record from the Bahamas. I will show the stratigraphic evidence including new U-Th coral ages and describe how we can leverage the spatial extent of the data to constrain the contribution of glacial isostatic adjustment to past sea level. I will further present ongoing research that integrates this finding with observations from sites around the globe to fingerprint the melt history of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets during the last interglacial. Lastly\, I will highlight a few studies that constrain sea level during earlier warm periods and stress the importance of understanding mantle convection for these reconstructions. I will end by showing that the results from all time periods combined may paint a coherent picture of ice sheet sensitivity and explore what this means for ice sheet processes and future sea level rise. \nLocation: Online or in person in Wright Auditorium on Busch Campus

SUMMARY:Combined Land Use of Solar Energy and Agriculture (Agrivoltaics) for Socioeconomic and Environmental Co-Benefits
DESCRIPTION:Event Format: Hybrid \nAbstract: Co-locating solar photovoltaics with vegetation (Agrivoltaics) could provide a sustainable solution to meeting growing food and energy demands. We studied the co-location of solar energy with crops/biofuels\, grazing and/or pollinator-friendly native plants at multiple sites around the world\, and explored the environmental and socio-economic co-benefits. The compounding effect of photovoltaic arrays and vegetation may homogenize soil moisture distribution and provide greater soil temperature buffer against extreme temperatures. Agrivoltaics on agricultural areas with carbon debt can be an effective climate mitigation strategy along with revitalizing agricultural soils\, generating income streams from fallow land\, and providing pollinator habitats. However\, the benefits of vegetation cooling effects on electricity generation are rather site-specific and depend on the background climate and soil properties. Overall\, our findings provide foundational data for site preservation along with targeting site-specific co-benefits\, and for developing climate resilient and resource conserving agrivoltaic systems. \nSponsored by Rutgers Department of Environmental Sciences .

SUMMARY:Chronic Disease in the Context of the Environmental Exposome
DESCRIPTION:Event Format: In-person \nAbstract: Cancer and cardiovascular disease are influenced by the spatial context in which people live. Environmental and neighborhood socioeconomic exposures are etiologically relevant for many chronic diseases via multiple mechanistic pathways. In this talk\, Charlie will discuss her work on environmental exposure assessment for epidemiology\, including the use of Earth Observation technologies. Additionally\, she’ll discuss her recent work with Dr. Hari Iyer (Assistant Professor at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey) to model hypothetical environmental interventions to reduce cancer outcome disparities. Finally\, she’ll propose the Exposome as a multi-level framework to integrate geospatial context (across the lifecourse) into investigations of mechanisms that drive cancer\, cardiovascular disease\, and other environmentally-susceptible chronic disease outcomes. \nSpeaker: Charlotte Roscoe\, Harvard T.H.

SUMMARY:Reforesting the Earth through Societal Corporatism: A Natural Climate Solution
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tom Rudel\, Prof Emeritus\, Rutgers University \nAbstract:  \nThe contours of the collective action necessary to limit climate change remain difficult to discern. In this context\, corporatist political processes\, fueled by crisis narratives\, have shown some promise as political devices for facilitating natural climate solutions. Corporatist processes have\, historically\, brought together political competitors like employers and labor unions within an economic sector to negotiate compacts that have advanced a collective good during times of crisis. In response to the climate crisis\, affluent donor groups\, indigenous peoples\, and state officials have assembled corporatist-like coalitions to pursue natural climate solutions in the form of forest conservation and restoration. Three case studies illustrate this political dynamic\, its shortcomings\, and its accomplishments. \n \n

SUMMARY:Carboxylation chemistry and biology: Adaptation of plants to extreme CO2 sources in Yellowstone NP
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, October 31\, 2023. 11:00 AM. Carboxylation chemistry and biology: Adaptation of plants to extreme CO2 sources in Yellowstone NP. Marie-Claire ten Veldhuis\, TU Delft. Sponsored by Rutgers Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. More information here. \nAbstract: Carboxylation reactions are those which combine CO2 with something else to make a useful natural or a synthetic chemical product. They are vital to our ecosystems\, to agriculture\, the chemical industry\, and the health of our planet. The chemistry of carboxylation is a cornerstone reaction of life itself that has evolved over 3 billion years. After presenting a brief tutorial on biological carboxylation chemistry\, we will take you into the field to one of Nature’s laboratories of evolution to ask this question. Can plants adapt to 12x ambient CO2 levels found near travertine springs in Yellowstone? In principle\, high CO2 levels can improve the carboxylation efficiency of the RuBisCO enzyme by competing with photorespiration (displacement of O2) and by making more of the essential reductant and ATP. But only if the production steps in the photosynthetic light reactions can be tuned to match the dark carboxylation reactions will this strategy work. At higher levels\, CO2 is also a poison to plants if not consumed. Perfect harmony requires that you use it or lose it. What is the net outcome for plants in Yellowstone living on the edge\, survival or death? We will look at three important steps in photosynthetic electron transport to see how plants adapt to long-term exposure to extreme CO2 levels.  \nLocation: CCB Auditorium (Room 1303)

SUMMARY:The Future of the Other Amazon: Social - Ecological Adaptation and Literature
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jorge Marcone\, Rutgers University.  \nAbstract: National imaginaries of the so-called Andean countries show a consistent preference for partial representations of the Amazon. This is true as well of images of Amazonia globally. Literary studies\, surprisingly\, are responsible for this incompleteness. Indigenous art\, nevertheless\, flourishes in interculturalism. And the archive of 20th-century non-indigenous Amazonian fiction proves to be a site of resilience to a history of social-ecological disturbances. Event flyer here. More information here.
