SUMMARY:Urban-scale Measurements and Modeling Fate & Transport of PFAS Across Media
DESCRIPTION:Join the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the PROTECT Center for a seminar with the EPA’s Dr. Kiran Alapaty\, who will deliver a talk titled “Urban-scale Measurements and Modeling Fate & Transport of PFAS Across Media.” \nSeminar Abstract: \nPer- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) have gained attention due to their adverse health effects as well as unknown exposures to legacy and novel compounds. As many of these compounds are stable and persistent\, many PFAS compounds have been detected worldwide across different media in the total environment. Thus\, comprehensive multi-media PFAS chemical concentration data are needed to study PFAS human exposure and health impacts. While some PFAS measurements and exposure studies are available\, no comprehensive PFAS measurement data exist at a continental scale. Also\, it is not clear to the local and federal government agencies as to how to account for the spatiotemporal distributions of PFAS contamination and associated long-term health impacts. Such issues are acute at local to urban scales. Thus\, the in-depth understanding of fate and transport of PFAS across media is much needed and may provide critical information for stakeholders. \nThe Washington Works plant in Parkersburg\, West Virginia has emitted long-chain perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) into the environment for decades and at present\, it continues to emit hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid [(HFPO-DA)\, GenX]. A database for PFOA at Parkersburg was developed and these PFOA measurements in air\, water\, and soil provide a good opportunity to validate the multi-media modeling system. \nWe are tailoring a robust and efficient suite of modeling tools to simulate PFAS fate and transport in air\, water\, and soil at urban scales. For air\, a state-of-the-art dispersion model (QUIC) is being tested for PFAS air modeling. For other media\, we are testing two state-of-the-art USGS models (MODFLOW and MT3D) for groundwater\, the BreZo model for surface water\, and EPA’s model PRZM-5 for vadose zone. These modeling tools can be used at seasonal to decadal timescales\, and their PFOA estimations can be provided as input data to a high throughput physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to estimate human exposure to PFAS. The combination of multi-media modeling system and PBPK model bridges the gaps between PFAS emissions and human exposure estimates and thus can provide the basis for epidemiological studies. This research opens doors to study the association between human exposure to PFAS and specific human diseases. \nSpeaker Bio:  \nKiran Alapaty is the Senior Science Advisor in the Atmospheric & Environmental Systems Modeling Division in the ORD of US EPA. His research interests are in air quality modeling and model development\, PFAS life cycle modeling\, integrated assessment modeling\, convective cloud parameterization development\, boundary layer modeling\, climate change and exposure science\, and socio-economics. In the past\, he was the Chief of the Climate Branch of the AMA Division with research interests in improving regional climate data for use with exposure science research. \nBefore joining EPA in 2011\, for several years Kiran was at DOE HQ as a Program Director for the DOE’s national climate program managing DOE’s National Labs and research grants.  Prior to that\, he was also a Program Director at the National Science Foundation managing climate research at NCAR and academia. \nKiran holds an MS in Aerospace Engineering from the Indian Institute of Sciences and a PhD in Atmospheric Science from North Carolina State University. \n  \nAbout the Lunch & Learn Seminar Series: \nA new Bimonthly seminar series from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE)\, focusing on convergent research\, bringing together Northeastern colleagues and collaborators to think big/bold\, explore ideas that build cooperation\, and foster transformative innovation within CEE and across disciplines beyond CEE. \nDue to COVID restrictions\, this event remains virtual-only. Please bring your own lunch and join us online.

SUMMARY:CEE Seminar: Cycling for Sustainable Cities
DESCRIPTION:Please consider joining the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for this seminar on sustainable urban travel. \nABSTRACT: Cycling is the most sustainable means of urban travel\, practical for most short- and medium-distance trips—commuting to and from work and school\, shopping\, visiting friends—as well as for recreation and exercise. Cycling promotes physical\, social\, and mental health\, helps reduce car use\, enhances mobility and independence\, and is economical for both public and personal budgets. \nThis presentation explores how to make city cycling—the most sustainable means of travel—safe\, practical\, and convenient for all. Buehler and Pucher discuss the latest cycling trends and policies around the world and consider specific aspects of cycling. Taken together\, the presentation demonstrates that successful promotion of cycling depends on a coordinated package of mutually supportive infrastructure\, programs\, and policies. Cycling should be made feasible for everyone and not limited to especially fit\, daring\, well-trained cyclists riding expensive bicycles. \nBios: \nRalph Buehler: Ph.D. is Professor and Chair of Urban Affairs and Planning in the School of Public and International Affairs at Virginia Tech’s Research Center in Arlington\, VA. Most of his research has an international comparative perspective\, contrasting transport and land-use policies\, transport systems\, and travel behavior in Western Europe and North America. Between 2012 and 2018\, he served as chair of the Committee for Bicycle Transportation of the Transportation Research Board (TRB). His research interests include: (1) the influence of transport policy\, land use\, and socio-demographics on travel behavior; (2) active travel and public health; and (3) public transport demand\, supply\, regional coordination\, and financial efficiency. \nJohn Pucher: Ph.D. is professor emeritus at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University\, in New Jersey.  He was a professor at Rutgers University from 1978 to 2014\, conducting research on urban transportation in the United States\, Canada\, Australia\, and Europe.  Over the past 25 years\, John’s research has focused on walking and bicycling\, and how to improve their safety and convenience for all age groups\, for women as well as men\, and for all levels of physical ability. John has published four books and over 200 articles in academic and professional journals.  His most recent book\, “Cycling for Sustainable Cities\,” was published by MIT Press in February 2021.

SUMMARY:Engineers Week: Can AI Models Advance Our Understanding of Exposure to Local Scale Mobile Source Pollutants in Highly Urbanized Areas?
DESCRIPTION:The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department presents Distinguished Seminar speaker Deb Niemeier for this year’s Engineers Week events. \n\nLocation: This event is virtual\, free\, and open to the NU community. \nJoin Zoom Meeting \n\nCan AI Models Advance Our Understanding of Exposure to Local Scale Mobile Source Pollutants in Highly Urbanized Areas? \nDeb Niemeier\, PhD \nDeb Niemeier\, Ph.D.\nClark Distinguished Chair in Energy and Sustainability\, University of Maryland\, College Park \nABSTRACT: The surface topography\, emission source variation\, and population distribution of urban landscapes all lend themselves to highly variable air pollutant concentrations in urban areas; concentrations that can vary dramatically even within short distances. The spatial variations in air pollutant concentrations can be as large as the contrast between cities and epidemiological studies clearly show that within-city PM exposure is larger than the between-city effect. One of the critical gaps in our understanding is how to best characterize within-city air pollutant concentration gradients\, which is crucial for exposure assessment\, urban planning\, air pollution monitoring\, and environmental equity. The development of high accuracy portable pollution sensing instruments and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology\, the use of vehicles for mobile air pollution monitoring can be used to tackle some of the challenges of estimating pollutants based on stationary monitoring sites. These mobile sensors can typically achieve high spatial resolution for air pollutants measurement\, but generate incredible amounts of data. This talk explores the trade-offs between using different ML approaches to produce credible micro-scale estimates for regional or hotspot modeling. \nBIO: Deb Niemeier is the Clark Distinguished Chair in Energy and Sustainability at the University of Maryland\, College Park and serves as a professor in the Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering. She has extensive expertise in understanding the spatial properties of mobile source emissions\, developing new methods for improving vehicle emissions inventories\, and accelerating the implementation of regulatory guidance to better identify vulnerable populations and environmental health disparities. Her research is currently focused on understanding infrastructure features that give rise to inequitable outcomes in the built environment\, particularly with the onset of climate change. In 2014\, Niemeier was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) for “distinguished contributions to energy and environmental science study and policy development.” In 2015\, she was named a Guggenheim Fellow for foundational work on pro bono service in engineering. In 2017\, she was elected to the National Academy of Engineering. Niemeier received a B.S. in civil engineering from the University of Texas (1982)\, her M.S. from the University of Maine and a Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of Washington (1994). \nDownload Flyer (pdf)

SUMMARY:Uncertainty Quantification and Dynamic Response of Buildings and Tower Structures under Stationary and Non-stationary Wind Loads
DESCRIPTION:Luca Caracoglia \nDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering \nNortheastern University\, Boston\, Massachusetts\, USA \nlucac@coe.neu.edu \n  \nDate: Friday January 15th\, 2:30-4:30 pm (CET)\, 8:30-10:30am (EST) \nLink: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3a864f3dfe8993442ca116fe24bd231662%40thread.tacv2/1610092407076?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%226e6ade15-296c-4224-ac58-1c8ec2fd53a8%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%226d036117-bf26-4ee2-95fa-124ff7fb3f76%22%7d \nAbstract: This presentation will review recent study activities examining the response of slender\, vertical structures under the effects of destructive wind loads. These large-period\, low-damping structures are sensitive to fluid-structure interaction and susceptible to damage induced by wind loads. The common feature of the research is the quantification of uncertain wind loads\, associated with both stationary synoptic winds and localized\, nonstationary events. The former are typical of large extra-tropical depressions and tropical cyclonic phenomena (at a scale of several hundred kilometers); the latter include thunderstorm downbursts and tornadoes (less than one kilometer in diameter). The research activities have been devoted to the examination of several methodologies for predicting the structural response by accounting for modeling uncertainty and measurement “errors”\, e.g. loads evaluated by wind tunnel tests. The investigated methods are both analytical (stochastic calculus) and numerical (Monte-Carlo sampling). The ultimate goal of the research is the evaluation of wind-related damage over time in the context of risk analysis. \nThis presentation will include characterization of the dynamic response through multi-variable probability density functions and examination of lifecycle wind-related damage through intervention cost analysis. Examples will consider interactions on the envelope of tall buildings under various wind load scenarios and aeroelastic vibration causing damages primarily to nonstructural elements. The results will demonstrate that it is possible to predict the structural response and its consequences\, even in the presence of large modeling and experimental load variability\, provided that uncertainty propagation is extended to all the stages of structural analysis. These stages should possibly consider wind field simulation\, wind-pressure load assessment and fluid-structure interaction. \nBio-sketch: Luca Caracoglia is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of Northeastern University\, Boston\, Massachusetts\, USA. He joined Northeastern University in 2005. Prior to this appointment\, he was a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Civil Engineering at Johns Hopkins University\, Baltimore\, Maryland (USA) in 2001-2002 and a post-doctoral research associate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign\, USA) in 2002-2004.

SUMMARY:Engineers Week: Anticipating The Future Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:Gerald E. BuckwalterChief Operating and Strategy Officer\,American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) \nIn celebration of National Engineers Week\, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northeastern University will host American Society of Civil Engineers Chief Operating and Strategy Officer Gerald Buckwalter for a Distinguished Seminar. \nThis event is brought to you in partnership with the Boston Association of Structural Engineers (BASE)\, Boston Society of Civil Engineers Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (BSCES)\, and the Structural Engineers Association of Massachusetts (SEAMASS). \nThis seminar takes place in 102 Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex (ISEC)\, located at 805 Columbus Avenue\, Boston\, MA 02120\, a short walk from the Ruggles Orange Line station. \nAnticipating the Future Built Environment \nABSTRACT: From climate change to autonomous vehicles\, engineers are confronting a variety of environmental challenges\, demographic shifts and technological changes that will require a drastic rethinking of how we build\, operate\, and maintain our infrastructure systems. Planning for the future is difficult for nearly every organization. ASCE decided to launch the Future World Vision project to help meet this challenge. We compiled and winnowed more than 100 global macrotrends to examine six important sociopolitical\, economic\, environmental\, and technological trends as key drivers of change for future built infrastructure. Our desire is that the Future World Vision project will establish ASCE and civil engineers as bold thought leaders\, provide a platform to envision the future built environment and ultimately optimize future system performance and the benefit to society\, and be a next-generation tool that interacts and resonates with those who will create the future built environment—the next generation of civil engineers. The Future World Vision platform is an immersive computer model\, using gaming engines\, that will create virtual future worlds with evocative visuals\, multiple characters and rich narratives that explore holistic city\, community and neighborhood systems\, including the cultural\, social\, economic\, political\, ethical and environmental aspects at different scales. This platform will enable engineers to ask the right questions about a future built environment that doesn’t exist yet\, contemplate solutions\, postulate the resulting benefit to society – well in advance of starting to design those solutions. This will enable us to better prepare engineers today for possible future needs and challenges. \nBIO: Gerald (Jerry) E. Buckwalter has more than 35 years of varied executive leadership in general management\, business development\, strategy and innovation\, program operations and policy development spanning military\, government\, international\, and commercial domains. He is the Chief Operating and Strategy Officer of ASCE\, overseeing all aspects of internal operations including Finance\, Administration\, Engineering\, Lifelong Learning\, and Human Resources. Prior to joining ASCE\, Mr. Buckwalter was a Northrop Grumman Corporate Director of Strategy. His responsibilities included reshaping the company’s business portfolio\, mergers and acquisitions\, long-term strategies\, innovation initiatives\, and professional development. Among many distinguished service positions\, Mr. Buckwalter was a member of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council reporting to the White House from 2008 to 2012. Mr. Buckwalter earned a degree in Physics from Monmouth University and has extensive continuing education at George Washington University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Check the Admissions website for more information.\n \nThe College of Engineering holds Information Sessions with presentations and tours most Wednesdays during the school year starting from the Visitor’s Center. This “mini” open house for prospective undergraduate engineering students and their families is an engineering-specific information session followed by a tour of the College of Engineering led by one of our students. It is an opportunity to learn about our academic programs\, cooperative education\, support services\, and the admissions process. It’s also a great time to see our facilities\, meet other faculty and staff\, and get your questions answered. \n\nWednesdays 11:45 AM in Admissions Visitor Center (West Village F). The program will last approximately two and a half hours. It is highly recommended that attendees also register for the Explore Northeastern session which includes a short general information session and general campus tour.  (Note: Saturday sessions will not include the lab tour.) To register\, visit our Admissions website and select “College Specific programs.”

SUMMARY:Planned and Unintended Consequences of  Environmental Change: COE Distinguished Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Planned and Unintended Consequences of Environmental Change\nSeizing Science to Meet 21st Century Engineering Challenges\nThe 2019 Northeastern University College of Engineering \nDistinguished Seminar\nHosted by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering \nwith Dr. Ana Barros\, Edmund T. Pratt Jr. School Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, Duke University \n  \nABSTRACT: On the 50th anniversary of the National Environmental Policy Act\, we revisit the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process in the light of recent advances in our understanding of complex environmental systems. \nIn  particular\, research will be presented that investigates the emergent space-time organization of water cycle processes by climate\, topography\, landform\, and  land-cover in the Andes and in the Amazon basin which in turn determines regional freshwater supplies\, material fluxes\, and extreme events. The results show that small-scale anthropocentric land-use change (mining\, agriculture\, and others) can impact the viability of macro-engineering projects (e.g. dam construction) and lead to continental-scale environmental change. Examples of engineering projects over CONUS will be reviewed emphasizing the differences between evidence of impacts (planned consequences) and evidence of feedbacks including long–range dependencies (unintended consequences). Finally\, we argue that EIA tools need to be expanded and updated to incorporate the most recent science and modeling capabilities (e.g. Earth System Models). \nFurther\, the case is made to link the EIA and the engineering project development processes is necessary to achieve adaptation\, sustainability and resilience needs of coupled human-natural systems in a changing climate. \nBio: Dr. Ana P. Barros is the Edmund T. Pratt\, Jr. School Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University. Her primary research interests are in Hydrology\, Hydrometeorology and Environmental Physics with a focus on water-cycle processes in regions of complex terrain\, remote sensing of the environment\, and predictability and risk assessment of extreme events. Her research relies on intensive field and laboratory experiments\, large–scale computational modeling\, nonlinear data analysis and environmental informatics. Prof. Barros has served in multiple national committees over the years\, such as the Space Studies Board of the National Research Council\, the Water Science and Technology Board\, the Board of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate\, and the US National Committee for the International Hydrology Program (IHP) of the UNESCO. She was a Senior Fellow at the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA) 2011-2015\, and she is a founding member of the ASCE committee on Climate Change and Adaptation. Currently\, Dr. Barros is Chair of Atmospheric and Hydrospheric Sciences at AAAS\, and President-Elect of the Hydrology Section of AGU. \nPlease arrive early for seating.
