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 ...

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 ...

Speaker: Jon Carnegie, Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University Abstract: The 15-minute neighborhood concept gained visibility as the global pandemic demonstrated that local access to basic life needs is critically important. In addition to being an important contribution to New Jersey’s efforts to achieve its goals of reducing pollution that causes climate change, 15-minute neighborhoods provide residents with ...

Speaker: Brittany Meché, Williams College Abstract: Through a theorization of kairological time, that is an attention to notions of prophecy, propitiousness, and ordained moments of change, this talk contemplates the urban geographies of two Sahelian capitals: Dakar, Senegal and Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Drawing on ethnographic vignettes, I examine how my informants navigate these sites through forms of watchfulness, anticipation, waiting, ...
Abstract: Drop by our pavilion this Rutgers Day to play engaging games and activities while learning about climate and its impact on us and our communities. Meet with climate experts, faculty, staff, and students from Rutgers who are actively addressing this issue through four signature programs: The Office of the New Jersey State Climatologist, the New Jersey Climate Change Resource ...
Speaker: Wu-Jung Lee, APL-UW. More information here.
Speaker: Joseph Paulin, Rutgers University. Abstract: For the wildlife element we will explore how over the past 30 years, people have more regularly interacted with black bears in New Jersey. These experiences can be both positive and undesirable. Although it can be exciting to see a bear from afar while hiking, bears have also been known to frequent residential neighborhoods, ...
Speaker: Derek Shendell, Rutgers School of Public Health; Nikki Baker, Health Schools Now Abstract: Join us for an interactive session on potential environmental health and safety-related issues in New Jersey public and charter K-12 schools and what we can do collectively to address them.
