Civil Engineering Graduate Student Organization (CEGSA) has invited Dr. Michael H Scott to share his expertise with us on the 4th of November at 6 pm EST. Dr. Scott is a Professor of Structural Engineering in the School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Oregon State University and a developer of the OpenSees finite element software framework. He will give a…
Climate change coupled with rapid technological innovation is driving large scale change in the global energy system. Computer models of the energy system – referred to as energy optimization system models – provide a way to examine future energy system evolution, test the effects of proposed policy, and explore the role of future uncertainty. Modeling…

Andrea Cominola, Assistant Professor and head of the Smart Water Networks group at the Einstein Center Digital Future and the Technische Universität Berlin CCEE Environmental, Water Resources, and Coastal Engineering Seminar Series 12:50-1:40 Friday, February 19, 2021 Please join us virtually…
Environmental, Water Resources, and Coastal Engineering Seminar Series Virtual seminar link: https://ncsu.zoom.us/j/96156963811?pwd=QVRwSmlRZ1lqWm1xL0JVcG9RWC9Zdz09 Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals shed the virus in stool. Therefore, analyzing municipal wastewater is an emerging strategy to track SARS-CoV-2 infections at the community level. We measured SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations in primary solids from the Raleigh wastewater treatment plant, which serves approximately 500,000 people,…
