SUMMARY:Environmental Sciences Seminar: Donatto Surratt\, U.S. National Park Service
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Donatto Surratt\, U.S. National Park Service \nTitle: Development of a modified floristic quality index as a rapid habitat assessment method in the northern Everglades \nAbstract: Floristic quality assessments (FQA) using floristic quality indices (FQIs) are useful tools for assessing and comparing vegetation communities and related habitat condition. However\, intensive vegetation surveys requiring significant time and technical expertise are necessary\, which limits the use of FQIs in environmental monitoring programs. This study modified standard FQI methods to develop a rapid assessment method for characterizing and modeling change in wetland habitat condition in the northern Everglades. The habitat characterization and assessment tool (HCAT) developed here can be used to monitor\, assess\, and evaluate habitats with the objective of informing management decisions (e.g.\, as a screening tool) to maximize conservation and restoration of protected areas and is transferable to other wetlands withadditional modification. \nBio: Dr. Donatto Surratt holds a Ph.D. in the Environmental Sciences\, which he received in the Environmental Science Institute at Florida A&M University. Dr. Surratt worked in many aspects of biogeochemistry over the last 16 years. Research projects have ranged from radiochemical analysis of soils in a disparaged community (Scarboro\, Oak Ridge\, TN)\, to open ocean (Gulf of Mexico) and estuarine (Apalachicola Bay) sediment and water chemistry assessments\, to wetland (Refuge and Everglades National Park) water chemistry analysis. Presently\, he is employed with the Everglades National Park and located at the ARM Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) as a part of the Everglades Program Team. He serves as the Everglades National Park’s technical representative on the Technical Oversight Committee; providing guidance for and performance of data analysis and technical summaries. In his position\, information is consistently converted from highly technical data synthesis to useful information aimed at enhancing the ability of management to make decisions with regards to Everglades restoration. \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Doris Switzer at dswitzer@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Best-Practices for Youth Science Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Youth and Community Engagement\nIn this workshop we’ll explore what ‘engagement’ with youth and community members really means.  Often\, as scientists\, we think our role in public engagement is to bring science out into communities but part of the work is also to bring communities into our work.  In order to build these relationships we have to craft our method of communication which includes both sharing our knowledge and also listening. We will explore some interactive activities to build skills in playful storytelling and how to let our youth and community members be teachers to us as well. Taught by Kendra Krueger\, the ASRC’s Science Education Coordinator and founder of the Community Sensor Lab. Krueger has a BS and MS in electrical engineering and has worked as an educator\, artist and community organizer. \nThere will be opportunity for Q&A. \nYou can sign-up here for this event. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nCheck out the new Graduate Center Science Communications Academy webpage\, where you can learn about our events and access science communications training tools. \n\nFor more information\, contact Reima Ramsamooj at rramsamooj@gc.cuny.edu.

SUMMARY:Environmental Sciences Seminar: Alan Titus\, U.S. Bureau of Land Management
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alan Titus\, U.S. Bureau of Land Management \nTitle: In the Land of Rainbows and Unicorns: Forensic Science of a 76.4 million-year-old Tyrannosaur Mass Mortality \nAbstract: Dr. Titus will discuss the investigation at the scene of the only known mass death of tyrannosaur dinosaurs in the southern U.S. Using standard geological methods combined with state-of-the-art mass-spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy\, the secrets of this 76.4 million-year-old mystery begin to be revealed\, possibly pointing to more complex social behavior among southern tyrannosaurs than previously thought. \nBio: Dr. Alan Titus works for the Bureau of Land Management as the Paria District Paleontologist\, coordinating and engaging in the ground breaking research taking place in the Late Cretaceous of southern Utah. He is the former Monument Paleontologist for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument\, a position he held for 19 years. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in geology from the University of Nevada Las Vegas (1990)\, an MSc from the University of Arkansas (1992)\, and his PhD from Washington State University (1996). His research interests include Paleozoic and Mesozoic ammonite taxonomy and biostratigraphy\, paleomagnetic stratigraphy\, Cretaceous marine reptiles\, and tyrannosaur systematics and paleobiology. In his off time\, Dr. Titus enjoys hiking\, cycling\, playing guitar in his classic rock cover band (named Mesozoic of course!)\, and daydreaming what it would have been like to live in the Cretaceous. \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Doris Switzer at dswitzer@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Environmental Sciences Seminar: Adam Parris\, New York City Mayors Office of Resiliency
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Adam Parris\, Ph.D.\, M.S. New York City Mayor’s Office of Resiliency Deputy Director of Climate Science and Risk\nCommunication \nTitle: The Climate Research Exchange: Building the climate research NYC deserves \nAbstract: As important as science and research are\, there’s an increasingly vocal consensus among scientists across the world that justice issues are equally important in decision-making. There is no question that science plays a critical role managing complex and rapidly evolving risks like the COVID-19 pandemic\, extreme weather\, and climate change. Facing these risks\, scientific knowledge is essential for responsibly exercising precaution and\, hopefully\, learning how to avoid disasters in the future. However\, because people and institutions are plagued by structural issues like racism\, relying on science alone to guide decisions can easily\, even subconsciously\, perpetuate the status quo. Bolstered by its longstanding partnership with the New York City Panel on Climate Change1 (NPCC)\, the City of New York (NYC) is increasingly making equity considerations a hallmark of its response to climate change. Now\, the Mayor’s Office of Resiliency (MOR) is taking another step by making fair and diverse public input a part of prioritizing climate research and action. In 2020\, MOR is initiating the Climate Research Exchange\, a set of structured dialogues designed to develop a high priority research agenda built on diverse input from City staff and stakeholders. We want to engage scientists\, government agencies\, community-based organizations\, and residents. The very first step in the CRE process is an interactive presentation that provides an orientation to and information on New York City’s climate risks. This step involves a 1.5-hour interactive presentation and poll\, where we will encourage real-time group discussion. The presentation will provide general definitions related to resiliency and adaptation and baseline information on both climate risks and ongoing climate resiliency and adaptation efforts. While the primary purpose is to help determine what types of scientific support are needed\, another benefit is to orient groups to a collective resiliency context\, building more cohesive public discourse through the process and providing some calibration in terms of the feedback on research priorities. \nBio: Adam Parris\, a nationally-recognized leader with 15 years of experience working with scientists\, governments\, and communities to advance climate resilience and adaptation. Currently\, he is the Deputy Director of Climate Science and Risk Communication at the Mayor’s Office of Resiliency in New York. Previously\, he led the Science and Resilience Institute at Jamaica Bay\, a partnership aimed at improving resilience in New York City. Adam has supported coastal planning for Federal agencies\, as well as the states of California\, Maryland\, New York\, and New Jersey. Mr. Parris also directed NOAA’s Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) program\, a network of 10 regional centers that help expand the nation’s capacity to prepare for and adapt to climate. He has coedited two books and co-authored nearly a dozen papers both research and nonfiction. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Environmental Geology from Bucknell University and a Master of Science in Geology from the University of Vermont. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife\, two kids and dog\, who are\na constant source of inspiration\, humility\, and good humor. \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Doris Switzer at dswitzer@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:The Urban Public University as an Engine of Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Please join the CUNY ASRC and CUNY Graduate School of Public Health on Tuesday\, July 7 for the next session of the Thriving after Massive Global Disruption webinar series hosted by the University of Strathclyde (UK) and involving partner Universities from across the globe. \nTuesday\, July 7\, 2020\, 9:00 a.m. ET\nREGISTER: https://bit.ly/ThriveAfterPandemic \nThe COVID-19 pandemic is a stark example of how crises inevitably impact marginalized and poor people most. In the United States\, the virus continues to infect Black and Latinx communities at a disproportional rate\, and these communities experience worse health outcomes. Myriad underlying racial\, ethnic and economic disparities led to this\, and these disparities are exacerbated by the repercussions of the pandemic. Our panel will address three relevant areas simultaneously in crisis in the United States: public health\, the environment\, and public education. The interconnectedness of these crises is especially apparent in dense and diverse urban environments like New York City\, and the crafted solutions must meet local needs. We will explore how urban public higher education and convergent research can help lead the charge toward finding and implementing solutions to this complex and interwoven set of crises. \nWe will discuss: \n\nHow public urban universities like CUNY and interdisciplinary research centers like the CUNY ASRC can play a catalytic role in helping cities thrive by driving diverse STEM workforce development\, rethinking the curriculum to promote convergence and systems thinking\, and promoting data-driven policymaking.\nThe role of convergent research in realizing effective solutions and the development and democratization of state-of-the-art scientific technologies that help predict\, quantify\, prevent and counter environmental issues and future pandemics.\n\nPanelists:  \nRein Ulijn is director of the ASRC Nanoscience Initiative\, director of the ASRC Center for Advanced Technologies in Sensors (Sensor CAT) and Einstein Professor of Chemistry at Hunter College. Ulijn’s research\, educational and administrative roles span developing sustainable nanoscience solutions that have applications in health care and environmental mitigation and driving workforce development and science technology startups in New York. \nLuisa Borrell is a Distinguished Professor at the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics\, Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy\, City University of New York (CUNY). Her research interest is on race and ethnicity\, socioeconomic position\, and neighborhood effects as social determinants of health. She has expertise in racial/ethnic disparities in health and oral health\, research methods and the analysis of large databases\, including survey\, census and spatially linked data. She has published on the areas of race/ethnicity\, socioeconomic position\, and neighborhood effects on health and oral outcomes as well as mortality. \nCharlie Vörösmarty is Director of the ASRC Environmental Sciences Initiative and Einstein Professor of Civil Engineering at the City College of New York. His research focuses on the development of computer models and geospatial data sets used in synthesis studies of the interactions among the water cycle\, climate\, biogeochemistry and anthropogenic activities. His work on human-water interactions includes earth system modeling of the Northeastern United States\, development and analysis of databases depicting reservoir construction worldwide and how they generate downstream coastal zone risks\, and global threats to human water security and aquatic biodiversity. \nAnnette “Nina” Gray is Executive Director of the ASRC and Associate Dean for the Sciences at The Graduate Center\, CUNY. She oversees all ASRC operations\, research activities\, and educational initiatives. She also develops programs and partnerships to enhance interdisciplinary scientific research and education in order to advance the center’s vision to improve human\, societal\, and environmental well-being in the decades to come. \nHost:
