SUMMARY:EWC Seminar by Asmita Narode - Methods to measure heat generation from ash in landfills
DESCRIPTION:Environmental\, Water Resources\, and Coastal Engineering Seminar Series \nFitts-Woolard Hall 3301 \nMethods to measure heat generation from ash in landfills\n \nAbstract: In recent years\, there have been reports of a few municipal solid waste landfills experiencing temperatures as high as 100ºC. These landfills are referred to as elevated temperature landfills (ETLFs). ETLFs require increased monitoring and management. A recently published landfill heat accumulation model identified reactions that contribute significant heat to landfills\, including the hydration and carbonation of Ca-containing wastes such as ash. Model predictions were based on published information on reaction thermodynamics and kinetics. However\, there is limited data on heat evolution from ash. This study aims to develop laboratory methods to measure heat evolution from Ca-containing ash under landfill-relevant conditions (presence of water and abundance of CO2). A semi-adiabatic reactor system was developed. The reactor consists of four major parts: an insulated container (dewar flask)\, insulation\, a sample container\, and a center channel to hold a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is connected to a data acquisition device (LabJack). The reactor is characterized for heat loss so that temperature data during ash reaction can be used to calculate the rate and extent of heat generation. Reactor characterization involves the determination of two parameters; the coefficient of heat loss and the thermal capacity. Validation experiments were conducted by measuring heat evolution from the hydration of pure CaO and the carbonation of pure Ca(OH)2 and comparing those to theory. In the case of Ca(OH)2\, a continuous stream of N2/CO2 was provided\, and the CO2 uptake was compared to theoretical expected uptake. Heat evolution and CO2 uptake data were used to calculate the heat generation rate. This heat and rate will be used to better parameterize models of heat generation and accumulation in landfills. The coefficient of heat loss and thermal capacity was measured to be 105 J‧hr-1‧K-1 and 1200 J‧K-1\, respectively. The validation experiments yielded an efficiency between 103 and 106% for hydration and between 104 and 107% for carbonation\, respectively. Work is in progress to parameterize the landfill model. \nBiography: Asmita Narode is a Ph.D. student working with Dr. Morton Barlaz at NC State. Her work focuses on measuring heat generation from ash that is disposed of in landfills. She completed her undergraduate in Civil Engineering in India and her M.S. in environmental engineering at Georgia Tech. Before starting her Ph.D.\, Asmita worked for a consulting firm.

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar by Christina Quaassdorff (Technical University of Madrid) - Modelling road transport emissions: a microscale point of view
DESCRIPTION:Environmental\, Water Resources\, and Coastal Engineering Seminar Series \nFitts-Woolard Hall 3301 \nModelling road transport emissions: a microscale point of view \nAbstract: Road transport is often the main source of air pollution in urban areas worldwide. Many efforts have been aimed at reducing emissions from this sector achieving significant abatements. Nevertheless\, emission reductions have been lower than expected due to the heavy growth of transport in the last decades. To estimate emissions from the road transport sector\, there are several methods and approaches that are useful for different scales of analysis. To understand the spatial and temporal distribution of the emissions\, typically\, regional traffic emission models are used for the compilation of urban inventories\, and usually\, those are the most detailed data available at the city scale. This level of detail is not enough to understand the high pollutant concentrations that occur in specific urban highly polluted areas (hotspots). In recent years many actions have been undertaken to solve air quality problems in these traffic hotspots. But\, to accurately understand the influence of these very local high concentrations on the real exposure of the population\, there is a need to estimate the contribution of road traffic to atmospheric emissions in great detail (at microscale) for those areas. In this seminar\, we will dive into the capabilities of currently available road traffic emission modeling tools as well as some practical applications of those tools to support emission analysis at the microscale level.\n \nBiography: Christina Quaassdorff\, PhD\, is a visiting postdoctoral research scholar at NC State University coming from the Technical University of Madrid in Spain. She is a road traffic emission modeler that finished her Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering in 2018 with her dissertation about road traffic emissions modeling and air quality measures applied to Madrid in Spain. For two years\, she worked on technical support for the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition in order to achieve the Spanish commitments to the European Union’s air pollution reduction goals for 2030. Now\, she is collaborating with NCSU to estimate highly detailed road traffic emissions at city scale in the frame of an IRTEMS European Union grant.

SUMMARY:Shaw Lecture: Systems modeling in search of win-win solutions to coastal resilience
DESCRIPTION:This talk will describe a computational framework that can be used to identify disaster risk management policy solutions based on behavior of the system as a whole\, including interactions among multiple types of stakeholders (homeowners\, insurers\, government\, reinsurers) and strategies (retrofit\, insurance\, property acquisition). It provides specific recommendations for government policymaking and describes the outcomes different stakeholders would experience under various policies\, allowing identification of policies that are likely to have broad support. The framework includes multiple interacting mathematical models—stochastic programming optimization models to represent government and insurer decisions\, a Cournot-Nash model of insurer competition\, empirical discrete choice models of individual homeowner decisions\, computable general equilibrium model of the regional economy\, and a regional loss estimation. A full-scale application for hurricane risk in eastern North Carolina suggests it is possible to identify system-wide win-win solutions that are better both for each stakeholder type individually and for society as a whole. \n  \nSpeaker: Dr. Rachel Davidson is a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs\, and a core faculty member in the Disaster Research Center at the University of Delaware. She leads the recently funded Coastal Hazards\, Equity\, Economic prosperity\, and Resilience (CHEER) Hub. Davidson completed her B.S.E. from Princeton University and M.S. and Ph.D. from Stanford University. She conducts research on natural disaster risk modeling and civil infrastructure systems. Her work involves developing new engineering models to better characterize the impact of future natural disasters and use that understanding to support decisions to help reduce future losses. It focuses particularly on lifelines and risk from a regional perspective; on earthquakes and hurricanes. She is a Fellow and Past-President of the Society for Risk Analysis and recipient of the 2019 ASCE Charles Martin Duke Lifeline Earthquake Engineering award.

Most of these initiatives produce green power which reduces use of fossil fuels\, a main contributor to global GHG emissions. Another key initiative is recycling water\, which reduces the need to import water and the associated energy required to import water\, the largest single energy use in the State of California. This lecture discusses seven initiatives: biogas-to-electricity alternative fuels commodities recycling water recycling biosolids management food waste diversion green waste diversion The combined GHG reduction from these initiatives for 2021 was over 362\,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (MTCO2e). This is equivalent to taking 78\,000 cars off the road. Come discover how the Sanitation Districts achieved carbon neutrality for the 2021 calendar year. And help us find more ways to reduce GHG emissions to make our communities more sustainable. \n  \nAbout Wendy Wert: \nWert is a Board Certified Environmental Engineer with the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. For the past 21 years\, she has been working on programs that rely on public participation to integrate water supply\, water reuse wastewater facilities planning. She received a B.S in environmental engineering and an M.S. in water resources engineering from the University of Central Florida (UCF). Her studies gave her opportunities to collaborate with others.

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar by Daniel Westervelt (Columbia University) - Air pollution and climate change in Africa: From low-cost sensors to supercomputers
DESCRIPTION:Environmental\, Water Resources\, and Coastal Engineering Seminar Series \nFitts-Woolard Hall 2331 \nAir pollution and climate change in Africa: From low-cost sensors to supercomputers \nAbstract: In Africa\, air pollution exposure has been linked to 1 million premature deaths annually and\, without intervention\, these numbers are likely to climb. Sparse pollutant monitoring across the continent makes these estimates uncertain and also hinders the development of mitigation policies and regulations. Additionally\, some of the most severe climate impacts are also felt in Africa\, despite the continent’s relatively small contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions. This talk will highlight some recent efforts to close the air pollution data gap in Africa using a variety of methods spanning from traditional reference monitors\, to consumer-grade low-cost sensors\, to satellite retrievals\, and to air quality and climate models. In particular we demonstrate the effectiveness of well-calibrated low cost particulate matter sensors in several previously-unmonitored megacities including Kinshasa (DRC)\, Lomé (Togo)\, Accra (Ghana)\, Nairobi (Kenya)\, and more. We find that many consumer-grade Plantower-based low-cost PM2.5 monitoring devices\, such as PurpleAir\, Clarity\, and QuantAQ\, perform well (r-squared ~ 0.6\, MAE ~ 7 µg m-3) compared to locally available reference monitors\, but can be improved dramatically (r-squared ~ 0.8\, MAE ~ 2) using a variety of statistical methods\, including linear regression\, random forest regression\, and Gaussian mixture regression. These well-calibrated sensors form the basis of dense urban networks of PM2.5 monitors in several African megacities\, for example in Kinshasa (DRC)\, where the annual mean PM2.5 in 2019 was approximately 45 µg m-3\, or ~8 times the WHO annual guideline. This talk will also present some research that leverages well-calibrated low-cost sensors and reference monitors to evaluate and improve the Africa region GEOS-Chem nested high-resolution model (25km x 25km). We also demonstrate the potential of fusing satellite data with ground-based observations using machine learning to develop high spatiotemporal resolution PM2.5 datasets\, which may be useful in policy and health settings in addition to model evaluation. Finally\, I will present climate modeling results that quantify how both local and remote aerosol emissions changes can have a substantial impact on African climate\, in particular rainfall in the drought-stricken Sahel region of Africa.\n \nBiography: Daniel Westervelt is currently a Lamont Assistant Research Professor at Columbia University’s Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades\, NY. In addition\, he is a Columbia University Climate and Life Fellow leading a project on air pollution and climate change in Africa. He is also an affiliated scientist with the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies in New York\, NY\, and an air pollution advisor to the US State Department. I am an affiliate faculty of the Columbia University Data Science Institute. Prior to Lamont\, Dr. Westervelt worked as a Science\, Technology\, and Environmental Policy (STEP) postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University. He completed his PhD degree in May 2013 in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.
