SUMMARY:CCI Lecture Series - Justin Lapp
DESCRIPTION:USING SOLAR THERMAL HEAT FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE ENERGY DEMANDS\nJustin Lapp\nAssistant Professor\, Mechanical Engineering\nUniversity of Maine \nTuesday\, November 20\, 2018\, 2PM\n138 Sawyer Environmental Research Building \n  \nAbstract: In just 108 minutes the earth receives as much energy from the sun as humans consume in one year from all sources. What if we could harness that energy to power our world in a way that is not only free from CO2 emissions\, but is cheaper than current methods? By using the sun’s rays directly in places where thermal energy is required\, it is possible to make highly efficiency use of the solar resource. Dr. Lapp will present ongoing work to develop new generations of technologies which will allow industries like chemical\, cement and glass\, metal refining\, and fertilizer to use direct solar energy in place of fossil fuels.

SUMMARY:CCI Lecture Series - Rick Eason
DESCRIPTION:UMAINE’S HIGH ALTITUDE BALLOONING PROGRAM \nDr. Rick Eason\nAssociate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering\nUniversity of Maine\n\nFriday\, November 9th\, 2018\, 2PM\n138 Sawyer Building Conference Room\n\nAbstract: Rick Eason\, an Associate Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maine started his high altitude ballooning program in early 2011 with funding from the Maine Space Grant Consortium. Dr. Eason and his students launch high altitude balloons with payloads totaling up to 12 pounds into the stratosphere typically reaching altitudes of around 35 kilometers. The payloads are tracked and recovered after of a flight of around two and a half hours. To date\, he and his students have launched around 90 high altitude balloons with 100% payload recovery. In this presentation Dr. Eason will describe the high altitude ballooning activity and will relate some of his experiences.

SUMMARY:Joseph Manning Lecture:  Volcanoes\, The Nile\, and the End of Ancient Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, October 30\, 2018\nat 7:00 pm in 100 Donald P. Corbett Bldg\, University of Maine\, Orono \n  \nManning will present recent research that integrates Paleoclimatology and Hellenistic history with a particular focus on Ptolemaic Egypt. His lecture will center on recent work that connects explosive volcanic eruptions and the impact of these volcanic eruptions on Nile river flow. Prof. Manning observed that explosive volcanic eruptions resulted in a reduction in global precipitation. This was particularly dramatic in the case of the African monsoon that drove the annual flood of the Nile. Prof. Manning and his colleagues demonstrated the connection between these volcanic eruptions and Nile flood suppression and how these events resulted in social unrest in Ptolemaic Egypt. \nSponsored by:\nHudson Museum\, Anthropology Department\, Climate Change Institute\, and the Gradute School. \n

SUMMARY:Seth Campbell - Brown Bag - The Juneau Ice Field Research Program
DESCRIPTION:72 Year Legacy of Academic Research & Training in Polar and Mountain Earth Systems Science: The Juneau Icefield Research Program\nThe Foundation for Glacier & Environmental Research (FGER) is a non-profit that oversees the Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP).  JIRP has operated since 1946 and is the longest running program of its kind in North America. Throughout its history\, JIRP has inspired over 2000 students in glaciology and related Polar Earth systems science through field-based learning and research.  An Academic Council and Science Advisory Committee\, charged with designing the curriculum and research\, respectively\, includes scientists and educators from nationally and internationally recognized Earth systems and polar research programs around the world.  JIRP has dozens of faculty who volunteer over 40\,000 cumulative hours to teach academic material each season.  Faculty also bring cutting-edge scientific research to the Icefield and actively involve students in field work. In addition\, JIRP has over a dozen field staff and medical professionals who act as student mentors\, guides\, and safety personnel.  Research shows that structured science education programs with diverse research and academic resources are some of the most effective tools for engaging students in STEM fields over the long-term.  In addition to offering exposure to a wide array of research and academics\, JIRP capitalizes on proven near-peer mentoring strategies. Current students are mentored and receive guidance from junior staff only slightly older but in the early career science stage\, to facilitate their field experiences. JIRP has successfully used student research engagement and near-peer mentoring methods for decades. Their 72-year legacy of alumni who work in academic and policy-related fields is a testament to the program’s effectiveness.  This presentation will summarize these prior successes and a future vision of JIRP growing into a more active global polar community science and education resource. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Chasing Icebergs Project - Dr. Kristin Schild - Brown Bag Seminar
DESCRIPTION:During the summers of 2017 and 2018\, Kristin Schild\, along with colleagues from the University of Oregon\, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution\, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography conducted simultaneous glaciological and oceanographic field campaigns in Sermilik Fjord\, southeast Greenland. The goal of the project was aimed at constructing a detailed picture of iceberg geometry and obtaining direct measurements of iceberg melt. This project combined ship-based multibeam submarine scans\, aerial drone mapping\, high precision iceberg-mounted GPS\, and ocean hydrography measurements to quantify iceberg melt rates and better understand the impact of meltwater throughout the water column. In this presentation\, Kristin will discuss the fieldwork and outcomes of the 2017 and 2018 ‘Chasing Icebergs’ field campaigns\, and goals of the 2019 final field season. \n  \n
