SUMMARY:Unraveling the Aerosol-associated Reactive Oxygen Species Chemistry: Insights into Public Health and Aerosol-Cloud Interactions
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jiaqi Shen\, Rutgers University.  \nReactive 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. \nBecause ROS generation may be a better metric than particulate matter mass to assess the health impacts of particles\, a variety of oxidative potential (OP) assays have been developed to quantify aerosol particles’ ability to generate ROS or consume antioxidants. However\, understanding of these OP assays are limited\, both in terms of their complex chemistry and their ability to predict PM-induced health effects. In first part of the talk\, I will present a combination of chemical kinetics modeling\, laboratory measurements\, and source apportionment analysis to enhance our understanding of OP. The questions I will address in this talk include: 1) what chemical components are different OP metrics responding to? 2) What emission sources contribute to OP? and 3) What OP metrics are more relevant to adverse health outcomes? My results highlight the possibility of using the OH assay to predict PM-induced health risk. Furthermore\, these results show\, for the first time in US that people in lower socioeconomic position are exposed to not only higher particle concentration but also more toxic particles. \nROS also play an important role in atmospheric chemistry. They control atmospheric oxidizing capacity as well as the formation and transformation of organic aerosols. ROS in clouds and fog\, however\, are much less well understood. In the second part of the talk\, I will shift to atmospheric chemistry with a focus on the OH burst – a recently discovered fast OH formation phenomenon for nascent cloud droplets. We developed a method to grow aerosol particles into nascent cloud droplets and collect them directly into a reagent that measures OH radical formation. I used this new method in two field campaigns to understand the dependence of the OH burst on different types of aerosols. I further combined HYSPLIT and ERA5 reanalysis data on cloud to assess the influence of cloud processing on particles’ ability to generate the OH burst. Biomass burning organic aerosols were found to be the major chemical driver of the burst. Results also indicate an important role of cloud liquid water content in processing chemicals in the atmosphere. \nMore information here.

SUMMARY:Dynamics of Multi‐component Fluids near Interfaces
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sepideh Razavi\, University of Oklahoma. \nAbstract: 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 make matters more intricate\, fluid interfaces are not static and are constantly subject to external disturbances such as thermal gradients\, imposed stresses\, and changes in composition. Given the environmental and economic impact of the subject matter\, it is important to advance our fundamental quantitative understanding of the complex interfacial systems just summarized\, with the goal of ultimately predicting and controlling their behavior in relevant hightech applications. In this presentation\, I will review recent findings in our group on how particle attributes such as wettability and surface anisotropy influence the stability and rheology of fluid interfaces. I will discuss the impact of particle surface properties on the interfacial microstructure and flow behavior\, and their connection to the performance in resulting Pickering foams. \nMore information here.

SUMMARY:Asymmetric and Non-Monotonic Response of the Climate System to Idealized CO2 Forcing
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ivan Mitevski\, Princeton University.  \nAbstract: 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 various climate system components\, including climate sensitivity\, radiative feedbacks and forcing\, and storm tracks. The findings demonstrate that the response to CO2 perturbations is not linear but rather asymmetric and non-monotonic\, with significant implications for scaling responses from specific CO2 perturbation levels and utilizing evidence from past climate states. \nMore information here.

SUMMARY:Webinar: 15-Minute Neighborhoods: A Pathway to Creating Healthier\, More Just\, Resilient & Sustainable Communities in New Jersey
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jon Carnegie\, Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University  \nAbstract: 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 easy access to parks\, schools\, gathering places\, social services\, places to buy healthy fresh food\, and\, in some cases\, public transit\, within a comfortable walk or bike ride. \nNear-term\, multi-billion-dollar investments in infrastructure\, a revolution in transportation technologies not seen in a century\, the recalibration of relationships between people and places brought about by the pandemic\, and converging policies related to energy\, health\, climate\, transportation\, and environmental justice provide New Jersey with an unprecedented opportunity to rethink and adjust how we design and build communities. \nJoin Jon Carnegie\, Executive Director of the Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University\, for a summary of a two-year study designed to investigate how a comprehensive\, multi-goal planning and policy framework can be used to achieve carbon-neutral transportation choices that simultaneously support healthy\, just\, and resilient communities for all New Jersey residents.  \nMore information here.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Hooked on Environmental DNA: Reeling in Community Scientists for Fisheries Monitoring of Offshore Wind Development
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jason Adolf & Erin Conlon\, Monmouth University  \nAbstract: For the water element\, we will dive into the ocean realm as offshore wind development continues off the New Jersey coast\, many are concerned about potential impacts on the marine ecosystem. Environmental DNA (eDNA) provides a non-extractive method of monitoring fish community composition that can be done by community scientists and professionals alike. We will describe a fisheries monitoring program run by Monmouth University and funded by the NJ Research and Monitoring Initiative (RMI) that includes a role for community scientists. Community science is important as it fosters open communication and increased understanding for both stakeholders and researchers. Other partners in this project include Emma Najarian\, Keith J. Dunton\, Sam Chew Chin and Shannon O’Leary.  \nMore information here. Register here.

SUMMARY:Afropolitan Insecurities: Kairological Time and Urban Geographies
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Brittany Meché\, Williams College  \nAbstract: 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\, and projection\, the ways they re- imagine the cities through prisms of impending disaster. I ask: how do these projections of Sahelian cities contrast with other urban imaginaries? How do these cities exist simultaneously as paragons of Afropolitan aesthetic valorization and also loci of danger? The talk considers forms of anticipation and predictions that frame Sahelian capitals as especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and armed conflict. I grapple with the making of these cities as sites of tourism through an Afropolitan sensibility marketed to both foreigners and African and Afro-diasporic communities.  \nMore information here.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Influence of Personal Experiences on Perceptions of Black Bears in New Jersey
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Joseph Paulin\, Rutgers University.  \nAbstract: 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\, rummage through garbage\, and cause agricultural damage that negatively impacts farmers’ livelihoods. In this talk\, we will discuss research that explores how direct personal experiences with bears can influence public tolerance and support for management.  \nMore information here. Register here.
