SUMMARY:EWC Seminar 04/27 : Jeremiah Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Our EWC seminar on this Friday\, Apr 27\, will feature our own Dr. Jeremiah Johnson\, who will discuss: “Life Cycle Environmental Impacts of Lithium Ion Batteries when Used for Power Systems Reserves.”  An abstract and bio are included below.  Please join us in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40pm. \nAbstract: Battery storage systems are attractive alternatives to conventional generators for frequency regulation\, due to their fast response time\, high cycle efficiency\, flexible scale\, and decreasing cost. However\, their implementation does not consistently reduce environmental impacts. In order to assess these impacts\, we employ a life cycle assessment (LCA) framework.  Our framework couples cradle-to-gate and end-of-life LCA data on lithium ion batteries with a unit commitment and dispatch model. The model is run on a 9-bus power system with energy storage used for frequency regulation.  The addition of energy storage changes generator commitment and dispatch causing changes in the quantities of each fuel type consumed. This results in increased environmental impacts in most scenarios. The impacts caused by the changes in the power system operation (i.e.\, use-phase impacts)\, outweigh upstream and end-of-life impacts in the majority of scenarios analyzed with the magnitude most influenced by electricity mix and fuel price. Of parameters specific to the battery\, round trip efficiency has the greatest effect. \nBio: Jeremiah Johnson is an associate professor at North Carolina State University’s Department of Civil\, Construction\, and Environmental Engineering and part of the Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program in Sustainable Energy Systems and Policy. His research uses systems methods to evaluate the environmental impacts of changes to the power system\, including those driven by technology (such as the integration of wind power\, solar photovoltaics\, and energy storage) and policy. Dr. Johnson teaches courses related to sustainable engineering\, life cycle assessment\, and energy systems analysis. He earned degrees in environmental engineering from Yale University (PhD\, MS) and in chemical engineering from Clarkson University (BS).  In addition to his time in academia\, Dr. Johnson spent several years as a management consultant advising electric utilities on renewable energy strategy and environmental compliance.

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar 04/20 : Celso Castro-Bolinaga
DESCRIPTION:Our EWC seminar on this Friday\, Apr 20\, will feature Dr. Celso Castro-Bolinaga from the NCSU Department of Biological & Agricultural Engineering.  He will discuss: “Dynamics of Fine-Grained Sediment Pulses in River Corridors: An Adaptive Numerical Simulation Approach.”  An abstract and bio are included below.  Please join us in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40pm. \nAbstract: An adaptive numerical simulation approach to characterize the propagation of fine-grained sediment pulses in river corridors will be presented. The objective of this work was to identify the properties of these types of pulses and those of riverine environments that are more relevant to their downstream migration. Numerical tests were carried out to investigate the influence of the pulse grain size distribution and volume\, as well as the influence of the ambient discharge and channel slope\, on the dominant propagation mechanisms. Results indicate that the reconfiguration of the deposited material is governed by an initial dispersion-dominated phase during which there is a rapid movement of the pulse forefront\, followed by a subsequent phase characterized by a pronounced translational movement of the pulse apex. The dispersion phase is governed by suspended-load driven regimes that actively entrain material from the top part of the pulse\, carrying finer sediment further downstream while depositing coarser particles close to the original forefront location. During the translational phase\, on the other hand\, the velocity in the flow field surrounding the pulse topography decreases and the sediment transport regime is no longer controlled by suspended load\, but rather by a combination of this mode of transport near the pulse forefront and bedload transport across the pulse core region. The transition between these two phases is controlled by the value of the Froude number (Fr) over the pulse topography\, whereas their intensity and duration are dictated by the magnitude of the evaluated properties. Results suggest that the initial dispersive phase is characterized by high values of Fr (i.e.\, Fr ~ 0.7-0.9)\, whereas the translation component detected during the second phase is typically associated with more moderate values of Fr (i.e.\, Fr < 0.5). The numerical simulations indicated that\, independently of the parameter being tested\, the degree of translation is enhanced as the magnitude of Fr decreases\, and the transition between dispersion and translation occurs around a threshold value of Fr ~ 0.4-0.5. Moreover\, the influence of the evaluated parameters was observed to be relevant to the intensity and duration of each phase. \nBio: Dr. Celso Castro-Bolinaga is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering at NC State University\, where he leads the Fluvial Hydraulics and Sediment Dynamics Research Group. He received his Ph.D. and M.S. in Civil Engineering from Virginia Tech\, and completed his undergraduate studies in Civil Engineering at Universidad Católica Andrés Bello (UCAB) in Caracas\, Venezuela. Dr. Castro-Bolinaga’s research group focuses on studying processes that are governed by the dynamics of water and sediment in riverine environments. He and his team aim to provide a better understanding of how the spatial and temporal scales associated with such processes control hydro-geoenvironmental regimes in streams and rivers\, and ultimately the adaptation capacity of these natural systems to external drivers (e.g.\, climate and hydraulic works).

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar 03/16 : Prakash Bhave
DESCRIPTION:Our EWC seminar on this Friday\, Mar 16\, will feature Dr. Prakash Bhave from ICIMOD.  He will discuss “Smogmandu: Sources\, Struggles\, Solutions\, and Progress in Nepal Air Quality.”  An abstract and bio are included below.  Please join us in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40pm. \nAbstract: The World Health Organization estimates that 7 million people die prematurely every year due to inhalation of air pollutants\, and the vast majority of those deaths occur in developing countries.  In addition\, air pollution has a damaging effect on the sensitive mountain ecosystems of the Hindu Kush Himalaya region.  In recent years\, a variety of attempts have been made to understand ambient air quality in the region and identify practicable measures to manage it.  During this seminar\, Prakash will share several lessons he learned while living and working in Kathmandu from 2014 – 2017. He will summarize results from the Nepal Air Monitoring and Source Testing Experiment (NAMaSTE)\, report on the mitigation of emissions from brick kilns after the great earthquakes of 2015\, and describe how Nepali citizens were empowered to monitor their own air quality and subsequently raise public awareness throughout Kathmandu. He’ll also share some barriers encountered and the fixed mindsets that are inhibiting progress toward healthy air quality in the cities of Nepal and India. \nBio:  Dr. Bhave earned his Bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering science from the University of California at Berkeley and completed his Master’s and Ph.D. degrees at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech)\, specializing in computational modeling of atmospheric pollution with a focus on fine particulate matter.  He then worked at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in RTP for 11 years\, where he developed the particulate components of the Community Multiscale Air Quality model which was used to support various national-scale regulations of coal-fired power plants\, motor-vehicle exhaust\, and automotive fuel standards. He served as an Assistant Laboratory Director in the EPA’s National Exposure Research Laboratory and as the Senior Science Advisor for EPA’s Atmospheric Modeling and Analysis Division. In 2013\, Prakash began feeling that his knowledge and work experience should be applied to a larger problem than the relatively modest levels of air pollution in the U.S. He conducted a worldwide search for jobs\, focusing on developing countries with hazardous air quality. He and his wife sold their home in Morrisville and left their jobs\, moving with their 3 young children to Kathmandu\, Nepal for a 3-year period.  Since returning to the Triangle\, Prakash enjoys sharing his overseas experiences and lessons learned with a variety of U.S.-based audiences.

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar 02/02 : Michael Breen
DESCRIPTION:Our EWC seminar on this Friday\, Feb 2\, will feature Dr. Michael Breen from the EPA.  He will discuss “Air Pollution Exposure Modeling for Epidemiology Studies and Public Health.”  An abstract and bio are included below.  Please join us in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40pm. \nAbstract: Air pollution epidemiology studies of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) often use outdoor concentrations as exposure surrogates. These surrogates can induce exposure error since they do not account for (1) time spent indoors with ambient PM2.5 levels attenuated from outdoor concentrations\, and (2) building-to-building and temporal variability of this attenuation. To help address the potential exposure error\, Dr. Breen is leading the development of individual-level air pollution exposure models\, integrated with novel personal sensor technologies\, to improve exposure assessments for epidemiology studies and for public health. He is co-investigator for multiple epidemiology studies assessing the exposure and health effects for participants with asthma\, diabetes\, and coronary artery disease. He is also the inventor of a new exposure smart phone App\, called TracMyAir. At this seminar\, he will present the development and application of these models to predict individual-level exposures for epidemiology studies\, in support of improving risk estimation. \nBio: Michael Breen is a research scientist in the National Exposure Research Laboratory at the EPA.  Dr. Breen’s current research focuses on the development of air pollution exposure models\, integrated with novel personal sensor technologies\, to improve exposure and risk assessments for individuals in health studies and citizen scientists. He is a co-investigator for multiple health studies assessing the exposure and effects of air pollutants. These health studies include participants with asthma\, diabetes\, and coronary artery disease living in various U.S cities. He has developed\, evaluated\, and applied novel exposure modeling and time-activity tools\, which includes the Exposure Model for Individuals (EMI) and GPS-based Microenvironment Tracker (MicroTrac) model.

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar 01/19 : Dario Del Giudice
DESCRIPTION:Our EWC seminar on this Friday\, Jan 19\, will feature our own Dr. Dario Del Giudice.  He will discuss “Improving estimation and predictions in hydrology and water quality.”  An abstract and bio are included below.  Please join us in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40pm. \nTitle:\nImproving estimation and predictions in hydrology and water quality \nAbstract:\nClimatic variability combined with anthropogenic pressures can impact the hydrological cycle by triggering critical phenomena such as flooding and eutrophication. Mechanistic and statistical models can be powerful tools to understand and predict how aquatic systems respond to variability in climatic inputs such as precipitation. However\, in order to be useful\, models need to be appropriately formulated\, calibrated and validated.\nIn this talk we will explore different freshwater issues were choosing the appropriate type of model and uncertainty quantification method is paramount. Along the way\, we will deal with estimating the catchment-averaged precipitation with a limited gauging network\, predicting urban peak discharge in presence of high model bias\, and identifying the hydrometeorological factors controlling lacustrine oxygen depletion. We will go through different methodological approaches to perform calibration and predictions for aquatic systems at multiple spatial and temporal scales. We will see how at times sophisticated combinations of Markov processes and mechanistic models are required\, whereas in other cases simple methods such as least squares and linear regression can suffice. \nBiography:\nDario recently started his postdoctoral research at NCSU\, after moving from Stanford where he was working at the Carnegie Institution for Science. He is interested in the impact of climate variability and human pressures on the quantity and quality of water resources. In his research at the interface of catchment hydrology and surface water pollution he combines process-based models\, stochastic methods for uncertainty quantification\, and statistical inference. Dario is currently focusing on the complex issue of nutrients leaching from agricultural watersheds into surface waters and fostering eutrophication and oxygen depletion. Dario holds a PhD degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich\, a MSc from the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne\, and a BSc from the University of Bologna.

SUMMARY:COPRI & EWC Seminar 11/17 : Navid Tahvildari
DESCRIPTION:We will co-host our regular seminar on this Friday\, Nov 17\, with the Coasts\, Oceans\, Ports & Rivers Institute (COPRI) student chapter. Dr. Navid Tahvildari of Old Dominion University will share a seminar about “Nonlinear Dynamics of Surface Waves in Dissipative Environments.” An abstract and bio are included below. Please join us in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40pm. \n  \nAbstract: Accurate estimation of wave energy in the nearshore is critical for predicting storm forces on coastal infrastructure and estimating sediment transport. While it is well known that surface waves can undergo significant dissipation in interaction with aquatic vegetation canopies or muddy seabed\, these processes are often modeled after applying simplifications that can affect both the rate of dissipation and the characteristics of surface waves resulting in potential inaccuracies in wave forecasting. Here\, we present results of two phase-resolving numerical models that were developed to improve our understanding of mud- and vegetation-induced surface wave dynamics. First\, a frequency-domain model is developed to simulate wave interaction with viscoelastic muds. The results indicate that compared to a widely-used model for viscous mud\, viscoelastic mud can cause stronger or weaker dissipation depending on wave frequency affecting both bulk measures and the shape of the spectrum. Furthermore\, a time-domain model is developed to simulate the interactions between waves and flexible vegetation. The model applies no limitation on vegetation rigidity\, hence is capable of simulating extreme stem deflections as observed in seagrasses. Model validation and variations in frequency-dependent vegetative drag force will be discussed. \n  \nBio: Dr. Navid Tahvildari is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Old Dominion University. Dr. Tahvildari received his Ph.D. in civil engineering with coastal and ocean engineering focus from Texas A&M University in 2011. Prior to joining ODU\, he was a postdoctoral scholar at the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at Stanford University. His research interests include analytical and computational modeling of oceanic surface and internal waves\, wave processes in natural and nature-based features\, and the vulnerability of coastal infrastructure to flooding.

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar 11/03 : Kevin Finneran
DESCRIPTION:Our EWC seminar on this Friday\, Nov 3\, will feature Dr. Kevin Finneran from Clemson University.  He will discuss “What do you want me to do with this electron acceptor?”  An abstract is included below.  Please join us in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40pm. \nThe volatility of foreign and domestic petroleum markets has prompted initiatives for the development of alternative liquid energy carriers which have the capacity to accommodate our current transportation infrastructure. Butanol\, which has an energy density similar to that of gasoline and can be produced through the fermentation of carbohydrates by solventogenic Clostridia\, has been investigated as a supplement or direct replacement to gasoline. However\, most butanol fermentations rely on glucose as a feedstock which is in direct competition with our food supply\, and this requires the exploration of alternative fermentable substrates. \nThis study investigated the use of chemical and electrochemical fermentation modifications as “drop-in” strategies to stimulate bacterial solventogenesis (butanol) and the consumption of xylose\, which is the second most abundant sugar contained within lignocellulosic biomass\, but is generally considered a much lower value substrate because of poor utilization and lower product yields. Monoculture\, solventogenic Clostridia and mixed (non-Clostridia) consortia were challenged with electron shuttling compounds and/or a terminal electron acceptor in the form of ferric iron or solid-state graphite electrodes. Results from this study indicated that electron shuttling to ferrihydrite stimulates concomitant increases in metabolite production and xylose consumption for both pure and mixed culture fermentations in which xylose was utilized as the sole fermentable substrate. Mediatorless electrochemical stimulation of solventogenesis and xylose consumption was developed in fermentations challenged with an economical (i.e. lab made)\, solid-state graphite electrode system. Data presented within this study indicate that extracellular electron transport to terminal electron acceptors has a global\, supplementary effect on fermentative bacterial metabolism.  In addition\, data have demonstrated that xylose plus ferric iron added to environmental media selects for fermentative biomass\, rather than Fe(III)-reducing biomass.

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar 10/20: Sivamaran Balachandran
DESCRIPTION:Our regular EWC seminar on this Friday\, Oct 13\, will feature Dr. Sivaraman Balachandran from the University of Cincinnati. He will discuss “Spatiotemporal Variability of PM2.5 in Cincinnati\, OH: From Measurements to Modeling to Exposure.” An abstract and bio are included below. Please join us in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40pm. \nAbstract: Several studies are currently being conducted to better understand spatial and temporal variation of PM2.5 in the Cincinnati metro area. First\, we are conducting temporal interpolation modeling of Cincinnati’s central air quality monitoring data for use in epidemiologic studies. Results will be utilized by Cincinnati Children’s Health Medical Center in time-series epidemiologic studies. Second\, we have been looking at better understanding the importance of local-scale emissions versus meteorological variability in impacting spatial differences in pollution concentrations. We are analyzing several years (2008 – 2015) of hourly PM2.5 and meteorological data at seven continuous PM2.5 monitors\, over a four-county region\, operated by the Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency (SWOAQA). Our goal is to understand spatial variability at an hourly-scales\, with a particular focus on transportation patterns\, which can aid in better estimating exposure in activity-based models. Finally\, we have been conducting several field campaigns at the SWOAQA Near-Roadway (NR) Monitoring Site. The goal of this research work has been to characterize the composition of fine particulate matter air pollution (PM2.5)\, noise and PM2.5 metals content resulting from near-road transportation courses under varying traffic states at fine temporal scales. The results will provide insight into better understanding of near real-time composition of several important constituents of fine particulate matter\, namely\, metals and black carbon. \nBio: Dr. Sivaraman Balachandran is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. His area of research is air pollution\, specifically source apportionment of fine particulate matter. Dr. Balachandran is currently researching spatiotemporal trends in air pollution in Cincinnati\, OH\, USA using regulatory monitor data\, portable real-time monitors and modeling techniques.

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar 10/13 : Jacqueline MacDonald Gibson
DESCRIPTION:Our EWC seminar on this Friday\, Oct 13\, will feature Dr. Jacqueline MacDonald Gibson\, who is an associate professor in the Gillings School of Public Health at UNC.  She will discuss “Racial Disparities in Access to Municipal Water Service: Water Quality\, Health Impacts\, and Costs.”  An abstract and bio are included below.  Please join us in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40pm.\n\nAbstract: Over the last 100 years\, installation of community water systems substantially decreased US waterborne diseases. However\, throughout the South\, some communities were excluded from these systems as a result of racial segregation\, and some of the resulting disparities persist.  The magnitude of exclusion risks\, water quality in affected areas\, health implications\, and costs of connecting to nearby municipal water utilities are not well understood. This presentation will summarize four years of research to characterize the locations of affected communities\, their drinking water quality\, potential health risks\, and costs of and barriers to extending municipal water service in Wake County\, NC’s second-largest county by population and location of the state capital.  The research has included analysis of tax parcel and census data\, water quality testing\, population intervention modeling using hospital emergency department data\, development of preliminary engineering plans for extending municipal water pipes\, and open-ended interviews.  Overall\, our analysis has documented significant and persistent exclusion from municipal water service with associated negative health consequences.  Odds of exclusion from municipal water service increase by 4% for every 10% increase in a census block’s African American population proportion.  Water testing in 57 affected homes found 49% tested positive for total coliform bacteria.  Additional testing found lead above the health-based action level (15 ppb) in first-draw samples from 8 of 29 homes.  Our population intervention model estimated that 21% (95% CI 14-31%) of 110 annual emergency department visits for acute gastrointestinal illness among approximately 3\,800 affected county residents are attributable to exclusion from municipal water service. Cost is a major barrier to extending water service\, with per-household costs of approximately $20\,000 and disagreements over who should bear those costs.  Overall\, our research suggests the need for interventions to improve water quality and protect health in these communities.\n\nBio: Dr. Jacqueline MacDonald Gibson is Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering within the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill.  For 2017–2018\, she also is serving as a University Scholar (a competitively awarded appointment) at RTI International.

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar 09/29 : Catherine Zhang
DESCRIPTION:Our EWC seminar on this Friday\, Sep 29\, will feature Dr. Catherine Zhang\, who is a postdoctoral teaching scholar at BTEC. She will discuss “Energy-Water-Environment Nexus: Synergy between Environmental Engineering and Biomanufacturing.” An abstract and bio are included below. Please join us in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40pm. \nAbstract: This presentation will focus on how to address the energy-water-environmental nexus by linking environmental engineering and the biomanufacturing industry. Advancements in biomanufacturing technologies\, such as fermentation and bioprospecting\, can be applied to environmental engineering. Meanwhile\, environmentally friendly biomanufacturing systems are essential for the sustainable production of bioproducts required for maintaining healthy communities. Examples such as biohydrogen production from biomass and LCA for emerging biomanufacturing systems will be discussed. \nBiohydrogen is a promising clean energy carrier\, but three key challenges for large-scale biohydrogen production are to increase\, 1) the hydrogen production rate\, 2) the hydrogen molar yield\, and 3) the extent of substrate utilization. A co-culture fermentation system for C. beijerinckii and G. metallireducens with extracellular electron shuttles called anthrahydroquinone-2\,6-disulfonate (AH2QDS) was developed and evaluated for improved biohydrogen production\, and then applied to ferment complex substrates from hydrolysates of lignocellulosic biomass as well as to utilize alternative extracellular electron shuttles (EES). The observed improvements in utilizing lignocellulosic hydrolysates and particularly on utilization of xylose support the feasibility of applying this co-culture system to biohydrogen production from lignocellulosic hydrolysates\, especially xylose-rich ones. In addition\, the replacement of AH2QDS by alternative EES\, especially humic acids\, makes the co-culture fermentation more economical and flexible. \nIn biomanufacturing\, there has been a rapid transition from traditional cleanable processes to disposable processes to achieve more flexibility\, lower costs\, and less risk of contamination. However\, the life-cycle assessment (LCA) of these systems are mainly provided by vendors and based on mammalian cell-line facilities within the United States. An educational version of open source LCA tools using Solid Waste Optimization Life-cycle Framework (SWOLF) is being developed and will be incorporated into biomanufacturing courses for biopharmaceutical industry professionals\, which will improve the awareness of sustainability in biomanufacturing industry. \nBio: Xinyu “Catherine” Zhang received her PhD degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is currently a Postdoctoral Teaching Scholar at Biomanufacturing Training & Educational Center (BTEC) at North Carolina State University. Her research focus is on biofuel/biochemical production via fermentation technologies\, sustainability in biomanufacturing industry\, and new techniques for engineering education.

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar 09/15 : Stephanie Bolyard
DESCRIPTION:Our EWC seminar on this Friday\, Sep 15\, will feature Dr. Stephanie Bolyard from the Environmental Research and Education Foundation.  She will discuss “Application of Landfill Treatment Approaches for the Stabilization of Municipal Solid Waste”  An abstract and bio are included below.  Please join us in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40pm. \nAbstract: The bioreactor landfill is an important component of current sustainable waste management practices.  However\, after the landfill has been operated for a period of time and the anaerobically biodegradable organic compounds are removed\, the leachate may contain inorganic contaminants and refractory organic by-products that threaten the environment and human health. \nThis research compared the effectiveness of three landfill treatment approaches aimed at removing releasable carbon and nitrogen after anaerobic landfilling. The three landfill treatment approaches included (1) flushing with clean water\, (2) leachate recirculation with ex-situ treatment\, and (3) leachate recirculation with ex-situ treatment and in-situ aeration. The latter scenario is referred to as Stabilization through Treatment\, Aeration\, and Bioreactor Leaching (STABL) which is an approach that combines flushing\, aeration\, and external chemical oxidation of chemical oxygen demand to further stabilize the waste in a landfill. \nThis research provided information regarding the extent of waste decomposition possible under three different treatment scenarios. Results showed that treatment beyond the bioreactor landfill can further stabilize solids as well as reduce leachate contaminants. Despite the extent of stabilization there were components still remaining (including material that would produce methane) and additional costs for achieving these completion states are significant. \nBio: Stephanie C. Bolyard is the Research and Scholarships Program Manager for the Environmental Research and Education Foundation. Stephanie has a Ph.D. and M.S. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Central Florida (UCF)\, as well as a BS in Chemistry from the University of Florida. Stephanie worked for Brown and Caldwell and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection prior to starting her graduate studies. Collectively\, she has eight years of academic and professional experience in various fields\, including domestic wastewater permitting\, environmental compliance and solid waste management. She has presented her research nationally and internationally and has receive numerous awards and honors for her research\, academic\, and leadership accomplishments.

SUMMARY:EWC Seminar 09/01 : Thomas Easley
DESCRIPTION:Our EWC seminar on this Friday\, Sep 1\, will feature Dr. Thomas Easley\, the Director of Community for Diversity in the College of Natural Resources.  He will discuss “Diversity and Environmental Justice?”  An abstract is included below.  Please join us in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40pm. \nAbstract: In order to engage in environmental justice\, its very important that one understands diversity. The many facets of diversity\, when explored\, can help one view society through many lenses which also can result in developing new understanding. Furthermore\, the environment can also have many meanings and different communities may view and use the environment differently.   With new understandings\, an individual can enhance their capacity to interact cross culturally\, hopefully minimize damage to the environment and prevent committing personal or emotional injury to people.
