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.

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar by Ricardo Morales (Universidad de los Andes): Air quality challenges in Northern South America; From the synoptic to the micro scale
DESCRIPTION:Environmental\, Water Resources\, and Coastal Engineering Seminar Series \nFitts-Woolard Hall 2331 \nAir quality challenges in Northern South America: From the synoptic to the micro scale \nAbstract: The processes shaping air pollution span many spatial scales. In the large and densely populated cities of Latin America\, one of the most rapidly urbanizing areas in the world\, day-to-day exposure to particulate pollution is often dominated by mobile sources in the near-road environment. However\, the seasonality of air pollution in the region is controlled by the long-range transport of smoke plumes from wildfires and agricultural burns. In this talk\, we will discuss how\, by using modeling and observational tools\, we can better understand the nature of air pollution in Northern South America\, identify its more pressing challenges\, and characterize the rapid transformations it is currently undergoing. This research helps identify opportunities to implement interventions to effectively improve air quality in the region. \nBiography: Ricardo Morales is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Engineering at Universidad de los Andes\, in Bogotá\, Colombia. After graduating with a BS in Physics and in Chemical Engineering\, he completed his PhD in Atmospheric Sciences from Georgia Tech. Since then\, his research at Universidad de los Andes has used modeling and observational tools for atmospheric aerosols to better understand air quality in the northern portion of South America\, and the city of Bogotá in particular. He has authored over 20 peer-reviewed publications. He is currently visiting NCSU supported by a Fulbright Visiting Scholar grant.

SUMMARY:Human Mediated Landscapes: Anthro-Geomorphology
DESCRIPTION:co-hosted by COPRI and EWC \nDeltaic wetlands are uniquely vulnerable to Sea Level Rise due to their coastal setting\, low elevation gradient\, and high rate of subsidence in recently deposited sediments. Despite the inherent vulnerability\, deltaic societies are also uniquely able to adapt to Sea Level Rise by making use of the riverine sediment transport system to locally increase elevation. Our research investigates how vegetation controls flow and sediment delivery to a deltaic marsh in the Mississippi River Delta. We show that the seasonal vegetation regrowth plays a dominant role in determining channel / marsh exchange\, and in determining flow heterogeneity on the marsh. But also that the interaction of the seasonal flood and seasonal vegetation cycle is variable\, a lesson that has profound consequences for efforts to use riverine sediment load to create healthy wetlands. We further contextualize this research by presenting a unique setting where the research community and the restoration practitioner community are leveraging restoration and management activity to co-develop landscape scale experiments into optimized sediment management strategies both in the wetlands and in the channels that feed them. \nSpeaker: Christopher Esposito\, Ph.D.\, Research Scientist\, The Water Institute of the Gulf  \nEsposito has more than a decade of field and modeling experience studying sediment transport and deposition in river deltas. His research is primarily focused on the connections between river channels and their floodplains\, a topic which is closely related to channel management and planned river diversions in deltas. Prior to joining the Institute\, Dr. Esposito obtained his Ph.D. at Tulane University and his master’s degree at The University of New Orleans. Before entering graduate school\, Dr. Esposito taught math and environmental education in public high schools. His interest in coastal zone management in Louisiana was sparked while leading students on field trips throughout the Mississippi River Delta.

SUMMARY:MAE Distinguished Lecture: “Origami Engineering: Structures\, Materials\, and Robots”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nWe study the geometric mechanics of origami assemblages and investigate how geometry affects behavior and properties. Understanding origami from a structural standpoint can allow for conceptualizing and designing feasible applications across scales and disciplines of engineering. We review the basic mathematical rules of origami and use 3D-printed origami legos to illustrate those concepts. We then present a reduced-order-model\, which consists of an improved bar-and-hinge model\, to simulate origami assemblages. We explore the stiffness of tubular origami and kirigami structures based on the Miura-ori folding pattern. A unique orientation for zipper coupling of rigidly foldable origami tubes substantially increases stiffness in higher order modes and permits only one flexible motion through which the structure can deploy. We couple compatible origami tubes into a variety of cellular assemblages that enhances mechanical characteristics and geometric versatility\, leading to the design of structures and configurational metamaterials that can be deployed\, stiffened\, and tuned. We have designed\, fabricated (using direct laser writing)\, and tested (SEM) this metamaterial at the micron-scale. This resulted not only in the smallest scale origami assembly\, but also in a metamaterial with intriguing mechanical properties\, such as anisotropy\, reversible auxeticity\, and large degree of shape recoverability. The presentation concludes with a vision toward the field of origami engineering\, including origami robots with distributed actuation\, allowing for on-the-fly programmability\, and other interdisciplinary applications. \nBio: \nProfessor Paulino is the Margareta E.

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar by Francis de los Reyes (NCSU): An Engineer Talks About Poop
DESCRIPTION:Environmental\, Water Resources\, and Coastal Engineering Seminar Series \nFitts-Woolard Hall 2331 \nAn Engineer Talks About Poop (Alternatively\, Challenges and Opportunities in Global Sanitation) \nAbstract: Most people don’t think about or don’t want to think about what happens to human waste- fecal material. Where do we poop\, where does it go? This is a big\, global problem: 2020 WHO/UNICEF data show that 3.6 billion people- 46% of the global population- don’t use a toilet or latrine where the fecal material is safely treated and disposed. This is a wicked problem that touches on engineering\, public health\, social and cultural dimensions\, and has economic impacts in less developed countries. This presentation will discuss a systems view of the sanitation “value” chain- from the user interface\, the toilet or latrine\, to the collection and transport of fecal material\, to treatment and disposal. Key factors for addressing this global challenge will be discussed\, including how to re-think sanitation technologies. \nOne major project is developing a hygienic and dignified way of emptying pit latrines. Every day\, pit latrines receive an estimated 0.6 billion kg of faeces and 2.1 billion kg of urine from 1.77 billion people around the world. Once pits are full\, fecal sludge has to be removed\, before being transported and treated/reused. Manual emptying of pit latrines using buckets and shovels still exist today – a high-risk\, unsanitary\, and undignified job. One of the biggest challenges in this field is developing a single pit emptying technology that can empty trash-filled pits at a competitive cost. Our NC State University team has developed the innovative pit-emptying device\, the Flexcrevator. This device removes fecal sludge even in the presence of trash in pits. The Flexcrevator system has been developed over 6 years with extensive field testing in South Africa\, Zambia\, Malawi\, Kenya\, and India\, with funding from the Bill & Melinda\nGates Foundation\, and has recently been patented. Our overall goal is to demonstrate how the Flexcrevator can scale-up to meet global demand for hygienic and profitable pit emptying\, thereby improving sanitation practices and access world-wide. The presentation includes the design evolution of the trash exclusion head\, lab testing results with faecal sludge simulants and trash\, and field testing results from Zambia\, Kenya\, Madagascar\, and Rwanda. The challenges and lessons learned in designing this technology will be discussed. \nBiography: Francis de los Reyes is the Glenn E. and Phyllis J. Futrell Distinguished Professor #2 of Civil\, Construction\, and Environmental Engineering\, Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor\, and University Faculty Scholar at North Carolina State University. He is also an Associate Faculty of Microbiology and Training Faculty of Biotechnology. He has also worked in water and sanitation issues in developing countries\, and has collaborations in the Philippines\, India\, China\, South Africa\, Pakistan\, Ghana\, and Malawi. Current and past research projects include: competition between filaments and floc-formers in activated sludge\, ecophysiology of nitrifiers and denitrifiers in microbial floc\, N removal from swine waste\, fate of bioagents in landfills\, microbial characterization of landfills\, molecular techniques for groundwater remediation sites\, foam control methods\, factors affecting fats\, oils\, and grease deposits in sewers\, wastewater treatment for rural areas\, water reuse systems\, novel molecular techniques for detecting denitrifiers\, energy from co-digestion\, and solutions for pit latrine emptying problems.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Waves Through Aquatic Vegetation: Flow-Vegetation Hydrodynamics and Sediment Transport
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Aquatic vegetation alters the flow and sediment mobility within and around them\, shaping coastal environments in the long term. Improved sediment transport relations for vegetated flows become fundamental for predicting sediment transport rates through aquatic coastal ecosystems. We investigate suspended sediment transport under flow-vegetation hydrodynamics in oscillatory boundary layers. We conduct experiments in a U-shaped oscillatory tunnel using optical techniques\, including 2D and 3D particle image velocimetry. We explore how aquatic plants change the near-bed and in-canopy hydrodynamics from the single-plant scale to the vegetation patch scale. For a single plant\, we study the effect of vegetation morphology (shape and biomechanics) on the turbulence characteristics. We focus on the vegetation drag at the canopy top and near the bed to explore the flow-vegetation hydrodynamics. For sediment experiments\, we evaluate the impact of vegetation on the suspended sediment transport mechanisms. These various boundaries inform for a better assessment of the role of aquatic vegetation as eco-engineers in wave-dominated environments. \nJorge San Juan is a postdoctoral associate at St. Anthony Falls Laboratory in the Department of Civil\, Environmental\, and Geo-Engineering at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. His research focuses on coastal eco-hydraulics\, eco-morphodynamics\, and experimental methods. Dr. San Juan completed his B.S. (2012) at the University of Cartagena (Colombia) in civil engineering. He received his M.S. (2016) and Ph.D. (2021) from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in Water Resources Engineering and Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering. He is one of the co-founders of the Latinx/Latin American Academic (LLAmA) Talks initiative and an active member of Geolatinas.
