SUMMARY:Environmental Science Initiative Seminar: Anthony Cak\, PhD\, Nicolas Maxfield\, and Hussain Bokhari
DESCRIPTION:Inaugural speakers of this spring seminar series with the ASRC Environmental Science Initiative will include Anthony Cak\, PhD\, Nicolas Maxfield\, and Hussain Bokhari\, presenting “TechTalks” on: \n• “Using WebPlotDigitizer to Extract Data from Graphs” – Anthony D. Cak\, Ph.D.\n• “Downloading Water Quality Data from USGS and other Cool Tricks using R” – Nicolas Maxfield\n• “Linear Regression for Predictive Model Building” – Hussain Bokhari \nAbstract: Tech Talks are short talks to share with the community some insight into useful techniques for data processing (retrieval\, staging\, analysis and presentation). Contributions are open to anyone that has a cool technique to share. Tech Talks are generally structured as guided examples of the technique at hand\, along with links to further tutorials and documentation. \nBios: Anthony D. Cak\, Ph.D. is the Associate Director of the Environmental Sciences Initiative at the ASRC. His research interests include ecosystem ecology and hydrology\, geospatial technology\, data visualizations\, and science policy and communication. \nNicolas Maxfield is a third-year Ph.D. student at the CUNY Graduate Center with the Earth and Environmental Sciences program. His research is in water quality modeling\, focused specifically on how climate extremes influence the transport of nitrogen through rivers and to the coast of the United States. \nHussain Bokhari is a Research Assistant at the CUNY ASRC and a graduate student of the “Sustainability in the Urban Environment” master’s program at the City College of New York\, with an undergraduate background in physics. For the past 3 years\, Hussain’s research has specialized in integrated geospatial modeling to simulate food-energy-water systems dynamics at the regional scale and evaluate risks to the bulk sector in the U.S. \nThis seminar series will take place in the 1st Fl Seminar Room with the option to join via Zoom. \nPlease follow lobby signage directing you to the 1st Fl corridor windows where you will then walk right until reaching the 1st Fl Seminar Room. \nMeeting ID: 892 7906 4948 Passcode: 516742\nDial by your location: +1 646 558 8656 US (New York) \nFurther questions can be emailed to: \nDoris Switzer \nEnvironmental Science Initiative Coordinator \nswitzer@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Environmental Science Initiative Seminar: Maria Diuk-Wasser\, PhD\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:Continuing this spring seminar series\, the ASRC Environmental Science Initiative is excited to host Maria Diuk-Wasser\, PhD\, Director of Graduate Studies and Professor in the Dept. of Ecology\, Evolution and Environmental Biology at Columbia University\, presenting a talk on: \n Tick-Bone Zoonoses in the New York Metropolitan area: A Coupled Natural-Human System \nAbstract: The nature of the linkage between biodiversity and infectious disease risk has been frequently debated. Discussions have centered on the shape\, directionality\, generality and scale of this association. Tick-borne diseases continue to emerge as a public health threat and have been used as a model system to study the biodiversity-disease relationship. Framing tick-borne diseases as a coupled natural-human system\, I will discuss the differential roles of habitat fragmentation\, host community assembly\, human exposure and protective behaviors in mediating the biodiversity-disease relationship. Disentangling these multiple determinants can help guide policy decisions for biodiversity conservation and public health. \nBio: Maria is a Professor in the Department of Ecology\, Evolution\, and Environmental Biology (E3B). Her research integrates empirical and analytical tools to disentangle the ecological and environmental drivers for the emergence of vector-borne diseases\, particularly tick-borne. Current research focuses on the role of pathogen interactions\, host community composition\, climate and land use change in the epidemics of multiple tick-borne pathogens in the United States. Other research interests include landscape ecology\, evolutionary ecology\, behavioral ecology and conservation biology. \nThis seminar series will take place in the 1st Floor Seminar Room with the option to join via Zoom. \nPlease follow lobby signage directing you to the 1st Fl corridor windows where you will then walk right until reaching the 1st Fl Seminar Room. \nMeeting ID: 892 7906 4948 Passcode: 516742\nDial by your location: +1 646 558 8656 US (New York) \nFurther questions can be emailed to: \nDoris Switzer \nEnvironmental Science Initiative Coordinator \nswitzer@gc.cuny.edu
