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.

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.

SUMMARY:Molecular Tools to Provide Insights into the Fate of Organic Contaminants in Aquatic Systems
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for a seminar with Dr. Allison MacKay\, Professor and Chair of Civil\, Environmental\, and Geodetic Engineering at Ohio State University. \nMolecular Tools to Provide Insights into the Fate of Organic Contaminants in Aquatic Systems\nABSTRACT: Environmental engineers have long been concerned with the fate of organic contaminants in aquatic systems\, including both natural systems such as lakes and engineered systems such as drinking water treatment plants.  Existing fate prediction models tend to fail for so-called ‘emerging’ contaminants (recently quantified\, unregulated contaminants with suspected toxic activity) because these contaminants undergo more complicated processes in the environment.  We have been exploring how advances in molecular level characterization tools from the pharmaceutical and biochemical sciences may offer new opportunities to understand the underlying mechanisms of contaminant fate processes for contaminants with complex chemical structures.  This presentation will focus on: (i) our applications of computational chemistry tools to obtain insights into the role of electron distributions in positively-charged organic contaminant binding to clays and organic matter in environmental systems\, and (ii) our recent use of high-resolution mass spectrometry to probe alterations of complex organic matter following drinking water treatment processes.  Insights gained from these approaches can lead to refinements of contaminant fate models and ultimately\, better management of aquatic systems. \nBIO: Dr. Allison MacKay is Professor and Chair of Civil\, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering at Ohio State University. Her research program is directed toward the fate of contaminants in engineered and natural aquatic systems. Current project examples include developing better guidance for drinking water plant operators to manage the treatment of toxins from algae in reservoirs\, and integrating advanced molecular computation tools to identify the binding mechanisms of contaminants in sediments and soils. \nShe currently serves on the Board of the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors. Dr. MacKay holds Doctoral and Master degrees in Environmental Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She received a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Engineering Science (Chemical Option) from the University of Toronto.

SUMMARY:Traffic-Based Framework for Measuring the Resilience of Ground Transportation Systems under Normal and Extreme Conditions
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for the first Distinguished Seminar of the semester with Dr. Jesus de la Garza of Clemson University. \nABSTRACT: Ground transportation systems are essential for the mobility of people\, goods and services. Thus\, making sure these systems are resilient to the impact of natural and man-made disasters has become a top priority for engineers and policy makers. One of the major obstacles for increasing the resilience of ground transportation systems is the lack of a measuring framework. Such measuring framework is critical for identifying needs\, monitoring changes\, assessing improvements\, and performing cost-benefit analysis. This research addresses this problem by developing a traffic-based framework for measuring the resilience of ground transportation systems under normal and extreme conditions. The research methodology consisted of: (1) creating a microscopic traffic model of the road under study\, (2) simulating different intrusions and interventions\, and (3) measuring the resilience of the system under the different scenarios using the framework developed. This research expanded the current definition of infrastructure resilience\, which includes the assessment of system performance versus time\, to add a third dimension of resilience for ground transportation system’s applications\, namely: location. This third dimension considers how the system changes along the different locations in the network\, which reflects more accurately the continuous behavior of a ground transportation network. The framework was tested in a 24 km segment of Interstate 95 in Virginia\, near Washington\, D.C. Four hazard conditions were simulated: inadequate base capacity\, traffic incidents\, work zones\, and weather events. Intervention strategies tested include ramp meters and the use of the shoulder lane during extreme events. Public policy was also considered as a powerful intervention strategy. The findings of this research shed light over the current and future resilience of ground transportation systems when subject to multiple hazards\, and the effects of implementing potential interventions. \nBio: Dr. Jesús M. de la Garza is Professor and Chair of the Glenn Department of Civil Engineering at Clemson University.  Prior to joining Clemson\, he was the holder of the Vecellio Endowed Professorship in Construction Engineering and Management at Virginia Tech.  Dr. de la Garza has been inducted into the National Academy of Construction.  He has received the Faculty of the Year award from the ASCE’s student chapter\, ASCE’s Peurifoy Construction Research Award\, ASCE’s Thomas Fitch Rowland Prize\, ASCE’s Best Paper Award from the Technical Council on Computer Practices\, and has been elected to the grade of Distinguished Member of ASCE.  Dr. de la Garza has received CII’s Outstanding Researcher Award\, CII’s Distinguished Professor Award\, CII’s Outstanding Instructor Award and CII’s Richard L. Tucker Award for Leadership and Service.  Dr. de la Garza is a Fellow of the Construction Management Association of America and a Fellow of the Project Management College of Scheduling.
