SUMMARY:Seminar Series: Coordinating the International Meteorological Satellite Constellation
DESCRIPTION:Download Flyer \nPresenter: Dr Kenneth Holmlund\, Senior Consultant \nTitle: Coordinating the International Meteorological Satellite Constellation\nLocation: Steinman Hall (Exhibit Room) Room 124\, Grove School of Engineering\, City College of New York\nDate/Time: Wednesday January 24\, 2024 @ 1:00 – 2:30 pm \nVirtual Participants :  zoom details  \nAbstract: \nThis presentation will give an overview of WMO\, CGMS and CEOS and provide examples demonstrating the success of these entities in enabling and coordinating the overall meteorological satellite constellation. \nMonitoring the Earth System provides critical information required for accurate weather forecasting\, climate predictions and other disciplines like air quality/atmospheric composition\, oceans and cryosphere. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) provides the overall framework for observational requirements and data exchange\, which in the past was dominated by ground-based observations. Today\, however\, space-based observations dominate the provision of information content that drives many application areas. This data\, which is provided by national and multi-national organizations as well as the private sector\, form the basis of modern data assimilation systems necessary to digest the overwhelming amount of information available. However\, whilst the space agencies fly a large number of satellites it is imperative to optimize the available capabilities in order to maximize the benefits from the space-based capabilities. The key fora for the coordination are provided by the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS) and the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS). \nBiography: \nDr Holmlund joined the World Meteorological Organization 2020 as the Head of the WMO Space Systems and Utilization (SSU) Division.  In this role\, he was responsible for all aspects of the WMO Space Programme from definition of user requirements for current and future space-based observing systems to end-user services across all domains in an Earth-System modelling approach. This included coordination with governmental space agencies\, international coordination\, end users and across WMO Programmes using space-based observations and optimizing the satellite observing system. In this role he was also instrumental in developing an international coordination approach for the delivery of space weather services with ISES (International Space Environment Service) and COSPAR (Committee on Space Research) and delivering a WMO position of matters related to radio-frequency interference. \nSince his retirement from the role of Head of the WMO SSU Division Dr Holmlund now supports the WMO Global Cryosphere Watch for space-based observations in support of cryosphere\, polar/high-latitude and high-mountain observations in support of research and operational down-stream services. In addition\, he is still active in supporting radio-frequency interference issues critical related to space-based remote sensing for meteorology and atmospheric sciences

SUMMARY:Extracting Features from Satellite Imagery for Climate Justice and the Commercial Market
DESCRIPTION:Title: Extracting Features from Satellite Imagery for Climate Justice and the Commercial Market \nDate: September 26\, 2023 \nTime: 12:30 – 1:30pm \nPresenters: Dr. Jose Pillich & Ryan Kmetz \nRegister: Click here to register for the event \nGeographic Information Systems (GIS) and earth observation technologies are revolutionizing how we understand and interact with our environment. By gathering and analyzing geographic\, remotely sensed\, and other environmental data\, researchers and activists now have more tools than ever before to reveal environmental injustices and advocate for change. This talk will provide an overview of key GIS concepts and earth observation technologies\, focusing on their application for climate justice. We’ll explore how satellite imagery\, drones\, sensor networks\, and spatial analysis can uncover pollution sources\, track deforestation\, map social vulnerability\, model climate impacts\, and more. These technologies make environmental data more accessible\, allowing communities to better understand threats to their health and environment. However\, technology alone is not enough – true climate justice requires giving communities agency over these tools and data\, not just extracting value from them. \nAbout Authors \nDr. Jose L. Pillich is a NOAA CESSRST Alumni. he earned all of his degrees from the City University of New York City (CUNY). Dr. Pillich received a Bachelor of Arts\, Major in Urban Studies from Hunter College\, New York in 2007. He received his Master’s in Urban Planning\, Hunter College\, in 2010. He later earned his doctoral degree at the CUNY Graduate Center in Earth and Environmental Sciences in 2018. He completed his Postdoctoral Research at Brooklyn College\, in 2019. Throughout his education\, his primary research interests have been at the intersection of urban planning and using geospatial techniques that lead to enhancing social\, environmental\, and economic systems. Furthermore\, he has also lived abroad and traveled extensively\, with a strong interest in exploring diverse cultures and ways of life. With over 15 years of working in the private and public sectors\, Dr. Pillich has become an interdisciplinary researcher with extensive experience in geospatial/data analysis\, urban planning\, sustainability\, environmental\, financial service\, and transportation. With these broad experiences\, Dr. Pillich has applied this knowledge to work as an adjunct professor\, consultant\, and researcher presenting at major academic conferences that have led to published journal articles. \nWith over ten years of experience\, Ryan Kmetz has worked on projects that address the intersection of sustainability\, climate\, environment\, and resilience in both private and public sectors. He has worked with various types of environmental and climate data through different kinds of projects. Ryan holds a Master’s of Science in Environmental Studies – Sustainable Development and Climate Change from Antioch University New England and a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology from Le Moyne College. He also has an Environmental Sustainability Professional Credential from the Institute of Sustainable Infrastructure. Ryan is an expert in listening to stakeholder’s needs to help them analyze and aggregate geospatial datasets\, commonly known as mapping data. He believes in data-driven storytelling as a crucial tool to engage communities and advocate for a healthier and more resilient environment. Ryan aims to provide stakeholders with access to technology and materials they may not have had in the past through his work with GIS and other cutting-edge data tools. \nThis talk will discuss strategies for democratizing environmental data access and enabling participatory mapping\, crowdsourcing\, and citizen science initiatives. Join us as we explore how emerging technologies can empower action for climate justice\, if guided by principles of equity\, inclusion\, and community ownership. \nThe talk will explain the process of ETL (Extract\, Transform & Loading) from satellite imagery to dashboard. Specific features are extracted from different satellite imagery and then contextualized with other datasets. Once a new dataset is created\, then the data will be loaded into ESRI dashboards for different stakeholders can easily access the data. It will be a non-technical presentation explaining the process and opportunities of these techniques.

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Mini Conference
DESCRIPTION:Sandia and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories \nArtificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Mini-Conference \nDay and Date: Friday\, December 9\, 2022 \nTime: 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM \nRegistration Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82418547734 \nAI FOR HEALTHCARE AND BIOMEDICINE\nHealthcare and biomedical research require AI technologies to analyze large volumes of multimodal data in order to create predictive models of health and disease as well as technologies that enhance the interaction between healthcare providers and patients. Through a partnership between the Departments of Energy and Veterans Affairs\, the Berkeley Lab and other DOE labs are developing technologies to predict high risk for suicide and overdose\, cardiovascular disease\, and response to treatments\, among others. We use electronic health records and genomic data to analyze the predictive and protective factors involved. Also\, we are working on the integration of other factors that affect outcomes such as social and environmental determinants of health. We believe the latter will not only inform physicians and healthcare providers but also policymakers who need to quickly make decisions and allocate resources. In this seminar\, I will focus on 2 main areas that my group has been working on: developing Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to extract dramatic life events from medical notes. These events\, like housing and job instability\, social isolation\, and troubles with the law\, are poorly diagnosed in the medical records but healthcare providers’ notes are rich in information. We are also developing geospatial models to develop indexes of environmental and socio-economic vulnerability based on temperature\, air quality\, poverty\, unemployment\, crime\, and many more datasets. I will highlight the potential and limitations of AI in these growing fields as well as the areas where more work is needed. \nDR. SILVIA CRIVELLI AMCR\nI have been conducting research at the intersection of structural biology\, high-performance computing\, and applied math for more than twenty-five years. My research has two main goals: to bring scientists together\, both seasoned and young and from all walks of science\, to tackle long-standing\, extremely hard\, and multidisciplinary problems and to develop methods and software tools that empower physicians and researchers to predict the behavior of biological systems and\, more recently\, healthcare outcomes. I have been working together with biologists\, chemists\, computer scientists\, physicians\, and applied mathematicians. I am a co-PI of the DOE-VA Million Veterans Program which aims to integrate structured and unstructured data from electronic health records from more than 20 million veterans to develop patient-specific diagnostic strategies to improve healthcare for veterans. \nETHICS IN MACHINE LEARNING\nMachine learning affects our daily lives through our online activities\, our ability to get a job or loan\, or even our medical diagnoses. The potential for this statistical modeling is enormous\, but we must consider the ethical impacts of how ML is used for things that affect our lives. While these common ML uses seem to not affect scientific and engineering ML use\, science and engineering are just affected in different ways. For example\, data quality and selection for model training are always important for making a model that works as intended. Understanding the linkage between existing data and what the model should do is critical for both societal ML use as well as scientific. Underlying this data selection are ethical considerations important across all ML use cases. This talk focuses on many of the places ML is used in science and engineering as well as in society and how decisions made when developing ML models can have profound effects on the outcomes. Audience participation and discussion is strongly encouraged. Topical Areas: Applied & Computational Math; Computational Science & Engineering; Computer Science; Data Science; High-Performance Computing Topic/Methods/Domain: Machine Learning\, Data Science\, Ethics Target Audience: Undergraduate students; Masters students; Ph.D. students \nDR.
