SUMMARY:M. Kravčík: Restoring Watersheds for Severe Climate Protection
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with Michal Kravčík: (Slovakian Hydrologist\, Engineer\, Goldman Prize Winner and Ashoka Fellow) \nWatershed Restoration Can Protect Us from Severe Climate Impacts \nWe’ll explore together\, employing Michal’s deep global expertise\, the development of major new local initiatives and innovations of TreePeople\, Kiss the Ground\, the Council for Watershed Health\, and the County and City of Los Angeles to protect our communities from the extreme climate impacts of drought\, long term water shortages\, increasing fatal heat events\, flooding\, and wildfires. \nMichal Kravčík\, Dipl Ing. PhD. is a founding member and Chairman of the NGO People And Water in his native Slovakia. Dr. Kravčík is a noted practical activist\, promoting awareness and urging the restoration of vital natural water cycles needed to address global climate change effectively. In his work throughout the globe he has illustrated how disruptions to small land-based water cycles in particular\, relate to many increasingly observed effects of climate change\, including droughts\, floods\, erosion\, wildfires\, extreme weather events\, and sea level rise. Most importantly\, Dr. Kravčík has a track record of fostering action that demonstrates his theories; from creating and managing complete programs to assisting with conceptual integration\, ongoing directional guidance and/or specific technical consulting for ongoing projects. Dr. Kravčík is accomplished in many areas\, including as water management engineer (graduated at the Civil Engineering Faculty of Slovak Technical University\, Slovakia)\, hydrologist\, consultant\, teacher\, sustainable program developer\, author and speaker/lecturer. He began his professional career working for eight years at the Slovak Academy of Sciences before spending several years consulting on urban storm water management practices and projects primarily in Košice (Slovakia’s second largest city).

SUMMARY:Steering Connected and Automated Mobility in the Right Direction: The 10th Annual UCLA Downtown Los Angeles Forum on Transportation\, Land Use and the Environment
DESCRIPTION:Steering Connected and Automated Mobility in the Right Direction\nThe 10th Annual UCLA Downtown Los Angeles Forum on Transportation\, Land Use and the Environment\nThursday\, April 13\n8:00 am – 3:00 pm\nCalifornia Endowment Center for Healthy Communities\nClick here to register\nThis 10th Annual Downtown Los Angeles Forum will focus on practical limitations and concerns of connected and automated vehicle technology. How can policymakers and stakeholders prepare the network and our current transportation system for this next technology wave? New technologies have and will continue to shape the future of transportation. Communities are seeing technology enabled mobility on the ground with on-demand ridesharing and bikesharing. People also understand how technology enhancements can improve the system for policy makers and travelers with real-time transit arrival information\, dynamically-priced parking spaces and managed highway lanes. These changes did bring real improvements to people\, but are these improvements accessible to everyone? Or may they further exacerbate current inequities in our transportation system? \nThe conference speakers will tackle important questions including what will the likely decades-long period look like when conventional\, connected and automated vehicles all need to interact? What investments should cities be prepared to make to maximize the benefits of vehicle connectivity? How can and should public policy makers interact with largely private industry to steer the transformation in the direction of current policy while ensuring the benefits are fairly distributed? \nWe need to prepare now for this next revolution no matter when connected and automated vehicles reach widespread adoption. These technologies hold promise to positively contribute to concerns about traveler safety\, greenhouse gas emissions and continued increasing demands on the transportation system. But\, these promises are not likely to be kept if policymakers cannot proactively address how to steer their adoption in the right direction. The speakers represent a mix of practice and research and the audience can expect a thought-provoking event. \n8:00 – 8:30      Breakfast \n8:30 – 9:00      Setting the stage: How Connected and Automated Technologies May Shape our Future\n \n\nLauren Issac\, 2015 William Barclay Parsons Fellow\, EasyMile\n\n9:00 – 10:30    Practical Limitations and Concerns with Connected and Automated Technology\nPractical concerns and questions abound with the onslaught of this new technology. When will we know if this technology is safe? Who is liable if the technology fails? How will the technology be designed to prevent cyber security attacks? What may be the behavioral response from travelers? This panel presents three speakers discussing how the roll-out of this technology may play out among these real and practical concerns. \nModerator: Madeline Brozen\, UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies \n\n“Vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions” Chris Ganson\, California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research\n“Getting the policies in place to support the triple revolution” Susie Pike\, UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies\n“Tort law and vehicle automation” Maya Buenaventura\, RAND Corporation\n\n10:45 – 12:15   Preparing our expectations for travelers and the network\nPrevious technological improvements required little investment from the public sector to operate. This transformation is different as it will require upgrades to traffic signals and other roadside equipment. What are the costs associated with these upgrades? Can current projects be delivered differently now to achieve economies of scale with future improvements? How should long-range transportation plans and other policy documents prepare for these changes? \nModerator: Juan Matute\, UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies \n\n“Assessing network and policy readiness” Veronica Siranosian\, AECOM\n“Planning now for future change” Eric Shaw\, Washington D.C Office of Planning\n“Costing out connected infrastructure” Sam Morrissey\, Iteris\n\n12:15 – 1:30      Lunch \n1:30 – 2:45        What is a city to do? Discussing future on-the-ground direction\nWe will close the event with a discussion with leaders in the field to discuss how connected and automated vehicle technology can be interwoven into the future vision for Los Angeles and cities across the United States. \nModerated by: Jessica Meaney\, Investing in Place  \n\nAshley Hand\, CityFi\nCorinne Kisner\, NACTO\nLauren Issac\, EasyMile\n\n2:45                    Closing remarks\n \n\nBrian Taylor\, UCLA\n\n3:00 – 4:00         Networking reception \n\nLocation\nCalifornia Endowment Center for Healthy Communities\n1000 N.

SUMMARY:BioBlitz 2017 at UCLA
DESCRIPTION:Which city has the most nature and the most nature lovers? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn partnership with UCLA’s Sustainable L.A. Grand Challenge\, the City Nature Challenge 2017 (April 14-18) will help us find out! Just in time for National Citizen Science Day (April 15) and Earth Day (April 22)\, 16 U.S. cities are asking residents of these urban areas to explore nature all around them and document the species they find. You’ll be amazed at the biodiversity of plants\, animals\, fungi\, and other organisms living in our midst! \nUsing the iNaturalist app\, groups of participants and experts will conduct a campus BioBlitz – an intense period of biological surveying to record all the living species within an area. We will explore Sage Hill\, the Mildred B. Mathias Botanical Garden\, and the central area of campus. Just bring your smart phone or camera and your curiosity. No previous experience necessarry. \nIn addtion to making UCLA and Los Angeles look good in this competition\, you’ll learn how your organization can use the iNaturalist platform to conduct or contribute to future research projects. Such work will improve the resilience of our local ecosystems in this era of climate change and the need for public support of the sciences. For environmental educators or green space professionals\, learn an easy way to engage the community in connecting with nature! \nFor fun\, please consider wearing plant or animal prints to the event.

SUMMARY:21ST CENTURY PUBLIC HEALTH: HOW DO WE BUILD HOMES\, INCREASE URBAN DENSITY\, AND REDUCE TRAFFIC POLLUTION EXPOSURES?” WITH RICK KREUTZER\, MD
DESCRIPTION:April 27\, 2017\n\n\n\n\n43-105 CHS (Center for Health Sciences) UCLA\n\n\n\n\nEvent\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCOEH & Dept of Environmental Health Sciences 411 present: \n “21st Century Public Health: How Do We Build Homes\, Increase Urban Density\, and Reduce Traffice Pollution Exposures”  \nAbout the lecture: We will try to identify traits of 21st century public health by looking at its past\, considering some of the most visible current discoveries and drivers\, and discussing one example-housing. California communities legally must provide adequate housing\, including affordable housing\, while minimizing exposures of occupants to local traffic-related air pollutants. This has become a widespread challenge given: 1. California Air Resources Board (CARB) guidance not to site housing within 500 feet of a high-volume roadway and 2. The strong public policy focus on reducing traffic emissions\, especially greenhouse gases\, by concentrating development for more location efficient travel and emphasizing infill development (building within the existing development footprint) and transit-oriented development (TOD)\, particularly in California’s major metropolitan areas. Since many infill residential development locations are near high-volume roadways\, and many TODs are located near transit corridors that parallel freeways\, residents may be exposed to health risks associated with traffic-related air pollution. Local and regional government agencies must confront these challenges and make decisions to achieve long-term community sustainability objectives\, including adequate access to affordable housing\, while improving and protecting health. \nAbout the speaker: Dr. Kreutzer is chief of the Division of Environmental and Occupational Disease Control in the California Department of Public Health. Dr. Kreutzer has devoted his career to disease surveillance and prevention. He helped develop a framework for environmental health tracking (a.k.a. surveillance); built better asthma surveillance in the State; studied exposure to molds and mycotoxins from composting\, biosolids\, or indoor sites with moisture; and helped create a new Environmental Contaminant Biomonitoring Program for California. He has worked with the Strategic Growth Council and Resources Agency to administer an Urban Greening program and has examined health impacts of siting housing near high volume roadways while promoting infill and transit oriented development. Recently\, he has convened a team to examine public health impacts from oil and gas development in CA and has assisted the Governor’s Drought Task Force with assessing the public health impacts of California’s drought. As principle investigator for California Breathing\, he has helped build an exceptional team that crafted the Strategic Plans for Asthma in California and now coordinates Plan implementation projects. He oversees the Division Emergency Preparedness Team to establish capacity and protocols for chemical emergency response. He has been a reviewer for several environmental health journals\, a lecturer at UC Berkeley\, and is on the clinical faculty at UCSF. His bachelor’s degree is from the University of Wisconsin\, MD degree from the University of Pennsylvania\, and epidemiological training from UCLA. Prior to coming to the Health Department\, he worked as a family physician and emergency room physician.
