Title: Design and Adaptation under a changing world - Opportunities for Synthesis and Convergence Research Abstract: One of the critical concerns in using climate change projections for design and adaptation is in the uncertainty and variability in the projections depending on the emission scenarios. It has been shown that this uncertainty in the projections is…
On Friday February 28th, the C&S group will have a Python mini-workshop for faculty and students. This will include Python examples ranging from data processing to GUI creation. The session will be informal and will focus on exhibiting the capabilities of a few powerful Python packages. Please join us and bring your laptop so you…

Climate change coupled with rapid technological innovation is driving large scale change in the global energy system. Computer models of the energy system – referred to as energy optimization system models – provide a way to examine future energy system evolution, test the effects of proposed policy, and explore the role of future uncertainty. Modeling…

Andrea Cominola, Assistant Professor and head of the Smart Water Networks group at the Einstein Center Digital Future and the Technische Universität Berlin CCEE Environmental, Water Resources, and Coastal Engineering Seminar Series 12:50-1:40 Friday, February 19, 2021 Please join us virtually…
Environmental, Water Resources, and Coastal Engineering Seminar Series Virtual seminar link: https://ncsu.zoom.us/j/96156963811?pwd=QVRwSmlRZ1lqWm1xL0JVcG9RWC9Zdz09 Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals shed the virus in stool. Therefore, analyzing municipal wastewater is an emerging strategy to track SARS-CoV-2 infections at the community level. We measured SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations in primary solids from the Raleigh wastewater treatment plant, which serves approximately 500,000 people,…
