SUMMARY:Carbon-Capture Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a virtual webinar we are planning for November 30 and December 1 on carbon-capture.  This webinar will include leading researchers from UC Irvine\, UCLA\, UC Berkeley\, UC Davis\, MIT\, Carnegie-Mellon University\, Georgia Tech\, Ohio State University\, Arizona State University\, HY-TEK Bio\, Verdox\, and Mosaic Materials.  Several presentations will focus on carbon-capture technologies that are now at the point where scaling-up to mid-scale demonstration projects is the next developmental stage on the path to utility-scale solutions.  As such\, some of the innovations that will be presented may benefit from a CO2 exhaust stream\, for example from a co-generation plant\, in a research university setting where the facilities engineers and faculty researchers can play a role in monitoring and evaluating a CC demonstration project.  I expect that a number of webinar participants will be from universities with CHP plants and an interest in helping to advance carbon-capture solutions that hopefully will prove scalable. \n  \nYou may be curious about our interest in exploring and fostering carbon-capture technologies.  Many leading climate scientists believe that carbon-capture as well as energy de-carbonization may be essential to avoid 2 degree C. overshoot.  Moreover\, we believe that speeding up\, as well as attaining\, carbon-free energy will not be a single-path solution\, but rather a mosaic of technology and  infrastructure solutions that work in synergy to provide resilience and grid stability that will be increasingly critical as weather and seasonal extremes exacerbate the path to carbon-free energy. \nIn the spirit of bi-coastal collaboration on climate solutions\, this virtual colloquium will be co-sponsored by the University of Maryland and the University of California\, Irvine.  Presenters will include: \n  \nShota Atsumi\, Professor of Chemistry\, UC Davis \nJack Brouwer\, Professor of Mechanical\, Aerospace\, and Environmental Engineering and Director of the UC Irvine Advanced Power and Energy Program and National Fuel Research Center \nLiang-Shih Fan\, Distinguished University Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, The Ohio State University \nChristopher W. Jones\, William R. McLain Chair and Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering\, Georgia Tech \nKlaus Lackner\, Professor\, School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering\, Arizona State University and Director of Center for Negative Carbon Emissions \nJeffrey R. Long\, Professor of Chemistry and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, University of California\, Berkeley and Co-Founder\, Mosaic Materials \nRobert “Bob” Mroz\, Founder/CEO of HY-TEK Bio\, a Baltimore tech startup that is operating a demonstration facility of Bob’s algae-based carbon-capture system \nEdward S. Rubin\, Alumni Chair Professor of Environmental Engineering and Science; Professor of Engineering & Public Policy and Mechanical Engineering; Senior Fellow\, Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation\, Carnegie Mellon University \nGaurav Sant\, Professor of Engineering at UCLA \nSahag Voskian\, Chemistry Department\, MIT\, and Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Verdox \nJenny Yang\, UC Irvine Professor of Chemistry \n  \nWe plan to allot ample time for Q&A (more than has been commonplace in recent webinars where one or two questions are possible per speaker).  If you are interested in registering for this virtual colloquium\, please use this link:\nhttps://uci.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_4SyXG5nwTT-OIVteh6Iy3w

SUMMARY:Networking 101 In A New Virtual Age (ESN x ES Alumni Association Collab)
DESCRIPTION:The zoom link is here: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/96092386413?pwd=UFd2Rm1lZ1Y1bEwxSE1jUWlSTHZwUT09 \nWe will have some amazing guest speakers from the UCLA Environmental Science Alumni Association on the topics of networking within the space of sustainability towards a future in the field. There will also be time for socializing and networking exposure during the event. \nThe preliminary agenda is as follows: \n15 min of socializing/intros \n30 min of short presentations by Alumni on how to network and its importance which may include: \n– Short introduction of Alumni and background \n– How to sell yourself \n– How to reach out online \n– Examples from career experience \n30-45 min of practice networking in controlled settings. This could take the form of speed round connections and such\, but is also a time to socialize with each other! \n– 2-3 person breakout rooms \n– Prompting type activities \n5 min closing and LinkedIn sharing

SUMMARY:U.S.-China Green Energy Summit
DESCRIPTION:The U.S.-China Green Energy Council (UCGEC) is a U.S. federal registered non-profit organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area (www.ucgec.org). Since it was founded in 2008\, UCGEC has been dedicated to promoting clean energy development and strengthening U.S. and China collaboration on climate change. \nWe are organizing the “2020 International Green Energy Summit” virtually on Dec.4th-6th\, 2020. This is one of our annual flagship events. Over the past decade\, we have successfully organized eleven annual summits either in the U.S. or China. It has been recognized as a highly influential international forum. \nSince this year’s summit will be a virtual conference on Zoom\, we have decided to make it free and open to the public. Thus\, we’d like to reach out for more people\, especially students\, to join this summit\, so they may benefit from our invited world renowned speakers.  \nWe have already confirmed two Nobel Laureates and many other prominent speakers for this year’s Summit. A wide range of frontier topics related to green energy will be covered\, including but not limited to: \nGlobal energy outlook \nTrend on clean energy technology development \nInternational collaboration on climate change \nCarbon neutrality \nNext generation of Li-ion battery \nEnergy Storage \nEnergy Internet \nIntelligent transportation \nZero Emission and autonomous vehicle \nMore…. \nPlease visit: www.ucgec.org/events/2020iges (or copy and paste the address in your web browser) for the conference agenda and free registration information. The Zoom meeting link will be sent to the registered attendees before the event.

SUMMARY:Webinar Two: Park Equity Policy and Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:New research about the relationship between parks and life expectancy reveals that increasing park acreage in areas that face park deficits and lack trees could lead to significant population-level increases in life expectancy. It also shows that targeted investments in park infrastructure would significantly benefit the health of Latino and Black community members. \nIn this webinar series\, you’ll hear from the UCLA professor who conducted the research and representatives of community-based organizations that will use its results to push for park equity. The project was based in Los Angeles County\, but it provides insights for cities across the country.\nWebinar Two: Park Equity Policy and Advocacy\nThursday\, December 10\, 2020\, 11:30 AM- 1:00 PM Pacific Time \nLearn more about policy\, advocacy\, and power building for park equity. Register here. \nSpeakers: \n\nManal J. Aboelata\, Deputy Executive Director\, Prevention Institute\nElva Yañez\, Health Equity Director\, Prevention Institute\nAlessandro Rigolon\, PhD\, Assistant Professor\, University of Utah\nFrancisco Romero\, Program Manager of Community Transformation\, Promesa Boyle Heights\nNaomi Humphrey\, Undergraduate Health Equity Fellow\, National Health Foundation\nVeronica Padilla\, Executive Director\, Pacoima Beautiful\n\nSimultaneous Spanish Interpretation will be provided.
