SUMMARY:Impact of Hydropower on Carbon Emissions and River Ecosystem Protection
DESCRIPTION:Construction of major reservoirs and dams is nothing new. While their construction in some countries has slowed down or stopped ( i.e.\, United States)\, many nations especially in developing world is continuing. These structures play an important role in regulating river flow and serving multiple purposes including flood control\, water supply and power generation among others. With respect to power generation\, hydropower is one of the cleanest sources. However\, the conversation about the pros and cons of major reservoirs and the tradeoff between their beneficial role and their adverse environmental impact has continued for decades and will likely continue in the future.  \nWith concern about climate change\, the debate within the environmental community has gradually been shifting towards the tradeoff between reduction of greenhouse gases and the impact on river ecosystem.  \nOur first virtual Rosenberg Forum of 2022-2023 will address this issue with the following objectives: \nTo overview the roles of hydropower in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and in achieving carbon neutrality\nTo examine the impact of hydropower plants on river ecosystem and to review the effectiveness of associated conservation measures\nTo discuss how hydropower development can help in achieving UN Sustainability Development Goals \nAgenda \n07:55 AM Zoom Room Opens \n08:00 Welcome\nGlenda Humiston\, Vice President\, UC Agriculture and Natural Resources\nSoroosh Sorooshian\, Forum Chair and Professor\, Civil & Environmental Engineering and Earth System Science\, University of California Irvine \nSession moderated by: Qingyun Duan\, College of Hydrology and Water Resources\, Hohai University \n8:10 The Role of Hydropower in a Decarbonized Power System \nSamuel Bockenhauer\, HydroWIRES Initiative Lead/Hydropower Technology Manager\, US Department of Energy \n8:25 Hydropower Plants – Carbon Neutral Electricity Generation \nStefan Riedelbauch\, Professor and Director\, Institute of Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery\, University of Stuttgart\, Stuttgart\, Germany \n8:45 Ecohydrological Effects of River Damming and Adaptive Management \nQiuwen Chen\, Professor and Director\, Center of Eco-Environmental Research\, Nanjing Institute of Hydraulic Engineering\, Nanjing China \n9:05 Challenges to Modeling the GHG Footprint of Hydropower reservoirs \nCarly Hansen\, Water Resources Engineer\, Oak Ridge National Lab\, US Department of Energy \n9:25 Q&A/Discussion – Moderated by:\nChristina Babbitt\, Program Manager\, Innovation & Sustainability\, Starbucks Global Supply Chain\nSoroosh Sorooshian\, Forum Chair and Professor\, Civil & Environmental Engineering and Earth System Science\, University of California Irvine \n10:00 Adjourn \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn - State Approaches to the Clean Energy Transition: Perspectives from California\, Washington\, and Wisconsin
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, California has developed a nation-leading suite of clean energy and emissions reduction strategies\, building and adjusting a comprehensive fleet of programs across a wide range of sectors. In 2021\, Washington enacted a suite of cap-and trade\, low-carbon fuels\, and environmental justice legislation\, combining multiple strategies that other states have implemented iteratively over the past decade. In 2022\, Wisconsin released its first clean energy plan as a way to lower energy bills\, fight climate change by investing in clean energy technologies and promote job creation.  \nPanelists:\nMaria Redmond – Director\, Wisconsin Office of Sustainability and Clean Energy\nAngelina Galiteva – Founder\, Renewables 100 Policy Institute\nAnna Lising – Senior Climate Advisor\, Washington State Office of the Governor \nModerator:\nLouise Bedsworth – Executive Director\, Center for Law\, Energy & the Environment \nREGISTER HERE
