SUMMARY:Environmental Sciences Seminar: Jason Smith (NY Restoration Project) & Chester Zarnoch (Baruch College) [CANCELLED]
DESCRIPTION:Speaker(s): \nJason Smith\, MS\, MFA. Director of Northern Manhattan Parks for the NY Restoration Project \nChester Zarnoch\, PhD. Professor CUNY\, Dept. of Natural Science at Baruch College \nTitle: A Living Shoreline on the Harlem River: From Design Challenges to Ecosystem Services \nAbstract: The Sherman Creek Living Shoreline is an intervention intended to adapt a coastal park in Northern Manhattan to the impacts of climate change while improving the ecosystem function of the shoreline. In the Spring of 2020 an artificial oyster reef will be installed in the Harlem River to alter sediment dynamics and facilitate the establishment of intertidal wetlands. As a collaboration between a non-profit\, government agencies\, and CUNY researchers\, this project is an example of how to integrate collaborative research into the adaptation of urban public space. Ongoing research will assess the role of mussels in the success of wetland establishment\, and evaluate changes to carbon storage and sediment gas fluxes. This work will demonstrate the potential of living shorelines to provide critical ecosystem services in eutrophic waters such as the Harlem\nRiver. \nBio: \nJason Smith is the Director of Northern Manhattan Parks for the New York Restoration Project. In this capacity\, he manages the stewardship of parkland and implements projects that enhance the resilience of northern Manhattan communities. Jason’s interests include ecological land management and nexus of design and conservation in cities. Prior to working at NYRP\, Jason taught art and design at SUNY Buffalo and Canisius College. Jason received an MS from Brooklyn College in Earth and Environmental Science and an MFA in Visual Art from SUNY Buffalo. Jason’s experiences in construction\, landscaping\, art and education inform his approach to interdisciplinary urban research and practice. \nChester B. Zarnoch holds a Ph.D. in Biology and is a Professor of Environmental Studies and Biology at Baruch College\, City University of New York (CUNY) and is Graduate Faculty in the Biology Program at CUNY’s Graduate Center. He has been an active researcher in marine ecology and aquaculture since 2001 and has published papers on shellfish biology\, sediment nitrogen cycling\, and intensive aquaculture. His current research aims to describe the biological and physical processes that influence ecosystem services derived from restored habitats in eutrophic estuaries. \nLivestream Link:\n Click here to join through Zoom.

SUMMARY:GRAPHENE FOR US
DESCRIPTION:New York (USA) will host the 3rd edition of the Graphene & 2D Materials International Conference and Exhibition (GrapheneforUS): February 20-21\, 2020. \nGrapheneUS 2020 will be a 2 days event that means to gather the key players of the Graphene Community and related sectors. This event is launched again following the success of the 2018 &2019 editions and the lack of meetings in the field in the US. It aims to become an established event\, attracting global participants\, intent on sharing\, exchanging and exploring new avenues of graphene-related scientific and commercial developments. \nThe Industrial Forum will again present the most recent advances in technology developments and business opportunities in graphene commercialization. Key representatives of “graphene companies” will share their market vision and business opportunities\, while selected talks from industrial exhibitors will present commercial showcases in all current market fields of graphene products. \nFor more information visit http://www.grapheneforus.com/2020/index.php

SUMMARY:Environmental Sciences Seminar: Marissa Matsler\, The Cary Institute of Ecosystems Studies & UREx SRN
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Marissa Matsler\, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Research Associate\, The Cary Institute of Ecosystems Studies & UREx SRN \nTitle: Making Nature into Infrastructure: Interdisciplinary Challenges across the Eco-Techno Spectrum of Green Infrastructure \nAbstract: Green infrastructure (GI) development is increasing in US municipalities. However\, despite technical optimism regarding the benefits provided by GI\, governance challenges create significant barriers to effective GI implementation and maintenance. This stems in part from the contested definition of GI\, i.e. stakeholders place varied\, often conflicting demands on the concept. This lack of conceptual clarity means that GI programs currently consist of a mishmash of disparate facility types\, from large-scale natural areas to small-scale engineered bioswales\, all of which are designed\, implemented\, and maintained by organizations with different\, sometimes conflicting\, goals. \nTo make sense of GI management\, I organize this variety along the Eco-Techno Spectrum\, arranging facilities according to the degree to which ‘nature’ or biological entities (i.e. plants\, soils\, microbes) are incorporated as infrastructural components in facilities. On the ‘eco’ end of the spectrum are remnant forests and floodplains where most components are biological. On the ‘techno’ end of the spectrum are engineered green roofs and permeable pavement where components are primarily human-made technologies. This spectrum allows for the combination of ecological and engineering data\, which are usually siloed. Importantly\, this spectrum also provides a platform on which to integrate governance and socio-political concerns with technical engineering and ecological data. The Eco-Techno Spectrum captures the diversity of technologies\, institutional actors\, scales\, jurisdictions\, and ecosystems that make up GI in cities today. While relatively simplistic\, this heuristic is powerful because it organizes facilities across different social\, ecological\, and technical boundaries into a single framework. This unified framework can generate and organize variables of interest from different disciplines and can help create a link between research and practice. In this presentation\, I will show the Eco-Techno Spectrum’s utility to an interdisciplinary examination of urban governance through cases in Portland and Baltimore. \nBio: Dr. Marissa Matsler is an interdisciplinary scholar. Her research is focused on understanding the institutional and ecological challenges of green infrastructure development. Her work combines the insights of political ecology\, science and technology studies (STS)\, urban ecology\, and urban planning to examine the conflicts between green infrastructure as a conceptual greenspace planning tool and an engineering practice on-the-ground\, in particular understanding the consequences of differing green infrastructure policies on marginalized communities and urban ecosystems. She is currently a postdoctoral research associate at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies working as a part of the Urban\nResilience to Extremes Sustainability Research Network (UREx SRN). She has a PhD in Urban Studies from Portland State University\, a Masters of Environmental Management from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies\, and a BS in Marine Biology from Oregon State University. \nJoin this seminar on Zoom by clicking here.

SUMMARY:CCNY Environmental Science Seminar Series: Emily Raboteau\, The City College of New York
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Emily Raboteau\, Department of English\, The City College of New York \nTitle: Communicating Climate Change \nAbstract: What role can writers play in the fight against climate  change? Some writers use their craft to bear witness to an increasingly unlivable world; some translate scientific information for a lay audience\, others go further\, not only addressing the connections between human activities and environmental catastrophe\, but also taking action to change it\, and compelling others to do the same. This talk will focus  on  how blending  personal testimony with science in our writing  can make pathways for reimagining how we can evolve in a context of persistent ecological crisis\, with the aim of shifting policy. \nBio: Emily Raboteau is a professor in the English Department\, where she teaches creative writing. Her books are the critically acclaimed novel\, The Professor’s Daughter\, and a work of creative nonfiction\, Searching for Zion: The Quest for Home in the African Diaspora\, winner of the 2014 American Book Award. For the past year she has been writing  longform  essays  about  climate change in such venues as New York Magazine\,  Medium\, and the New York Review of Books.\nLink: https://www.thecut.com/2020/01/a‐year‐of‐talking‐about‐climate‐change.html
