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:NOAA Seminar Series: Inter-comparison and Validation of Remote Sensing Satellite based Soil Moisture.
DESCRIPTION:Title: Inter-comparison and Validation of Remote Sensing Satellite based Soil Moisture. \nSpeaker: Stephanie Marquez\, NOAA EPP/MSI CESSRST-II Fellow at UTEP \nDate: Ocotber 24\, 20223 \nTime: 1:30 PM ET \nVenue: Virtual \nMeeting Link : meet.google.com/spo-vxqc-nmb \nPhone Number\n(‪US‬)‪+1 219-321-0478‬\nPIN: ‪651 945 406#‬ \nLearn more about the speaker \nAbstract: \nInter-comparison and Validation of Remote Sensing Satellite based Soil Moisture.: This study explores the potential of using a random forest\, gradient boosting and support vector machine model to predict soil moisture levels by incorporating both meteorological and biogeophysical data. The study utilized meteorological data such as temperature\, albedo\, and precipitation\, and biogeophysical data including soil type\, land cover\, slope\, elevation\, and normalized differenced vegetation index (NDVI) from remote sensing sources. Additionally\, in-situ soil moisture measurements from a Campbell Scientific Hydrosense II-12 sensor were incorporated as input parameters to train and test the model. The dataset was collected from a soil moisture sensor network installed in Jornada Experimental Range\, New Mexico during the summer of 2022. The results indicate that the gradient boosting model accurately predicts soil moisture levels\, with an NSE score of 0.62\, demonstrating the importance of combining remote sensing data with ground-based observations. This study showcases the potential of machine learning algorithms\, particularly random forest models\, to accurately predict future soil moisture levels\, which could enhance the accuracy of satellite data and weather predictions. \n

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Design of a Low SWaP Dual-Band Radiometer for UAS Remote Sensing Applications
DESCRIPTION:Title: Design of a Low SWaP Dual-Band Radiometer for UAS Remote Sensing Applications \nSpeaker: Maria Novoa Garcia\, NOAA EPP/MSI CESSRST-II Fellow at UPRM \nDate: Ocotber 24\, 20223 \nTime: 1:00 PM ET \nVenue: Virtual \nMeeting Link : meet.google.com/spo-vxqc-nmb \nPhone Number\n(‪US‬)‪+1 219-321-0478‬\nPIN: ‪651 945 406#‬ \nLearn more about the speaker \nAbstract: \nDesign of a Low SWaP Dual-Band Radiometer for UAS Remote Sensing Applications Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) is crucial in oceanographic\, coastal\, atmospheric\, and other applications. Knowing this variable well allows the scientific community to understand and monitor the behavior of both the ocean and the atmosphere. This way\, the government and other stakeholders can make better decisions to protect life and property based on analysis and conclusions by NOAA scientists. During my NOAA Experiential Research and Training Opportunities (NERTO)\, our research focused on studying further which variables significantly impact the measurement of sea surface salinity from passive microwave radiometers. These variables are the Sea Surface Temperature\, Earth Incidence Angle\, Wind Speed\, and Direction. We concentrated on the sensitivity of the retrieved SSS to each variable mentioned by calculating the brightness temperature (TB). The calculations are from the study of Meissner et al. and the theses of Wah and Mera. A function was designed on MATLAB and showed that brightness temperature is more sensitive to Sea Surface Temperature and Wind Speed. The highest error in SSS is 1.0183 PSU\, meaning that this parameter impacts most the brightness temperature and the retrieved sea surface salinity. I will also discuss furthers steps of this research which will implement this function in the analysis of retrieving SSS for the new novel airborne sensor.. \n

SUMMARY:Seminar Series: Opportunities and Challenges in the Evolving Energy Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Download Flyer \nTitle: Navigating the Long Tail of the Grid’s Edge:  Opportunities and Challenges in the Evolving Energy Landscape\nPresenter: Yael Parag\, Professor\,  Vice Dean & Head of the Energy Program  Reichman University (IDC) Herzliya\nDate/Time: 12:30– 1:30 pm\, Tue\, Oct. 17\, 2023 \nLocation:  Civil Engineering Department\, Room 105\, Steinman Hall\nZoom: https://ccny.zoom.us/j/85839128635?pwd=YXQ4TW9VY1RncVF1UjN4R1g0MkhFQT09 \nAbstract \nThe energy sector is undergoing a transformative shift\, akin to the “long tail” concept in business\, as decentralization\, digitalization\, and liberalization redefine electricity systems and markets. This evolution brings forth diverse technologies\, new players\, and innovative business models\, shaping a new energy landscape at the “edge of the grid.” The proliferation of small-scale renewables\, smart technologies\, and electric vehicles epitomizes the\nlong tail effect. While this trend holds promise for reducing emissions\, enhancing resilience\, and fostering social equity\, it also poses challenges such as load and grid defection\, as well as regulatory adaptations. The lecture will portray the various transformations that occur at the grid’s edge and explore the challenges and opportunities these changes pose for policymakers and stakeholders. \nBiography: \nYael Parag is a professor of energy and climate policy. She is the Vice Dean and Head of the Energy Program of the School of Sustainability at Reichman University\, Israel. She holds a BSc in biology and an MA and PhD in social sciences (all from Tel Aviv University). Between 2005 and\n2011\, she was a senior researcher in the Energy Group at Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute (ECI).\nHer research is at the forefront of addressing critical energy challenges\, with a primary focus on future and decarbonized electricity systems\, energy security\, and innovation at the grid’s edge. She studies prosumer markets\, peer-to-peer energy trading\, microgrids\, electricity islands\, community\nenergy\, demand flexibility\, EV charging management\, consumer behavior\, and consumer engagement with smart and innovative energy technologies.\nIn addition\, Prof. Parag is studying radical carbon mitigation policies\, such as personal carbon trading\, while also developing the “middle-out” perspective to analyze the roles of intermediary actors in promoting the energy transition.\nProf. Parag won prestigious and competitive research grants\, and her work has been published in leading academic journals. She serves as an editorial board member of the journals “Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews” and “Energy Research and Social Science”

More than a half-century later\, NCAR is still delivering on that mission. NCAR develops and applies state-of-the-art resources\, including supercomputers\, research aircraft\, sophisticated computer models\, and extensive data sets to empower the university community to solve complex scientific problems related to earth systems science. Our staff of preeminent researchers and engineers work with a wide range of collaborators to take on the current global-scale environmental challenges that are unprecedented in modern history\, including weather extremes\, wildfires\, air pollution\, and solar storms. This work is focused advancing fundamental understanding of the Earth as a coupled system — the atmosphere\, oceans\, land\, cryosphere\, geospace\,\nand the Sun — and how it interacts and is influenced by human systems. Providing society with actionable solutions to these challenges is a result of this work.\nNCAR also provide rich education and outreach opportunities\, from fellowships for early career scientists to free public lectures to scientific workshops. NCAR hosts faculty and student visitors from across the US and the international community to collaborate with our scientists. Dr. Joseph in his seminar will provide an overview of NCAR\, review some of the latest research and how NCAR is positioning itself for success in the future. He will also talk about ways students and faculty can collaborate with NCAR to advance their research. \nBiography:\nEverette Joseph joined NCAR as director in 2019 from the University at Albany\, State University of New York\, where he was the director of the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center. While there\, Joseph co-led the $30.5 million New York State Mesonet for advanced weather detection and the New York State Center of Excellence for the Weather Enterprise. He has served as principal or co-principal investigator on over $90 million in research grants from NSF\, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\nAdministration\, NASA\, the Army High Performance Computing Research Center\, and other agencies.

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:5th NOAA Workshop on Leveraging AI in Environmental Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Event: 5th NOAA Workshop on Leveraging AI in Environmental Sciences \nLocation:  Virtual \nDate: September 19 – 21\, 2023 \nTime: 9:00 AM-1:30pm MDT (each day)   i.e. 11:30am – 3:30pm EST \n Note: Because of limited capacity\, each campus will have a viewing location. \nFor CUNY fellows and faculty mentors\, who wish to attend to join us for this event (in-person) at the Grove School of Engineering\, Room ST-513 \nFor Non-CUNY Fellows and faculty\,  please reach out to your respective campus PI for more information. \nFor more information about this event\, please visit https://www.noaa.gov/ai/events/5th-noaa-ai-workshop-2023 \nThis virtual workshop will focus on collaboration building and active development of AI-powered applications and community standards. We invite developers\, data scientists\, domain experts\, social scientists\, and downstream users to form small teams around different use cases that are relevant to NOAA mission areas. In this interactive workshop\, we aim to foster collaboration around two themes: \nBenchmarking Framework: AI research and development in environmental sciences require a benchmarking framework to ensure objective evaluation and accelerate adoption. The discussion around benchmarking framework will include high-priority application areas that are relevant to NOAA mission areas\, AI-ready data sets\, baseline models\, desired performance metrics\, cataloging mechanisms\, and governance needs. \nResearch-to-Operation-to-Research (R2O2R): R2O2R is a critical process to enable research and development activities to be transitioned into operational environments while evolving operational needs can further inspire new research. The workshop will focus on identifying the challenges caused by the differences\, if any\, between the R2O2R processes for AI and traditional applications that have been implemented by NOAA and the community.

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Arctic Feedbacks on Trace Gas Compositions.
DESCRIPTION:Title: Arctic Feedbacks on Trace Gas Compositions. \nSpeaker: Francia Tenorio\, NOAA EPP/MSI CESSRST-II Fellow at SDSU \nDate: August 22\, 20223 \nTime: 1:30 PM ET \nVenue: Virtual \nMeeting Link :  meet.google.com/ead-ypxo-gvb \nPhone Number\n(‪US‬)‪+1 219-321-0478‬\nPIN: ‪651 945 406#‬ \nLearn more about the speaker \nAbstract: \nPolar ecosystems are warming faster than any other region on Earth (IPCC 2022)\, posing many implications for tundra landscapes. The accelerated warming in the Arctic influences the rate and movement of nutrients in the soil and water\, plant growth\, microbial decomposition\, and thawing of the permafrost processes that occur across the landscape. This can release greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. Since permafrost regions hold over half of all the estimated organic carbon stored in Earth’s soils and 40-60 Pg of nitrogen\, it is essential to understand changes across the Arctic landscape and how this influences climate dynamics locally and globally. Thermokarst formations\, which typically occur during the thawing of the permafrost\, may be sources of emissions in tundra landscapes and a reflection of rapid climate change. Microtopographic features\, particularly bare soils\, may be a hotspot for GHGs. The webinar will present a mapping effort of such features via remote sensing techniques in a tundra ecosystem near Utqiaġvik\, Alaska\, emphasizing the monitoring GHGs from such features. \n

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Remote sensing of anthropogenic debris in stream channels
DESCRIPTION:Title: Remote sensing of anthropogenic debris in stream channels \nSpeaker: Elena Aguilar\, NOAA EPP/MSI CESSRST-II Fellow at SDSU \nDate: August 22\, 20223 \nTime: 1:30 PM ET \nVenue: Virtual \nMeeting Link :  meet.google.com/ead-ypxo-gvb \nPhone Number\n(‪US‬)‪+1 219-321-0478‬\nPIN: ‪651 945 406#‬ \nLearn more about the speaker \nAbstract: \nInadequate management of anthropogenic waste is a challenge for coastal waters in the US-Mexico border region. Managing waste requires detecting and monitoring locations where uncontrolled disposal and debris accumulation occurs at high rates. Watershed-scale remote sensing can aid the understanding of the distribution\, pools\, and fluxes of plastic materials in pluvial systems. The Los Laureles Canyon watershed (LLCW)\, located in Tijuana\, Mexico\, is a large source of plastic pollution for the Tijuana River Estuary in Imperial Beach\, California. Through a combination of field\, laboratory\, and remote sensing methods\, we identified surficial plastic materials and waste hotspots in LLCW and 6 visually assessed the utility of spectral mixture models and WorldView-3 (WV3) shortwave infrared (SWIR) broadband imagery for plastic mapping. Field trash surveys conducted in LLCW reveal channel reaches have large scale waste patches (4-10m²) as a result of dumping. Laboratory reflectance spectroscopy was used to characterize the diversity of plastic reflectance and assess spectral signatures to inform multispectral image analysis. Samples processed to date show plastics have consistent absorptions at about 1210 nm\, 1410 nm\, 1660-1730nm\, and 2100-2300nm wavelengths\, depending on the polymer type. When convolved to the spectral response function of the WV3 sensor\, mean plastic reflectance retains prominent features between 1660-1730 nm and above 2200 nm wavelengths\, similar to an image endmember observed through principal components analysis of LLCW imagery. A spectral mixture model uses the matched filtering algorithm and selected image endmember to map built-environment plastic infrastructure and waste hotspots in areas explored during field visits. \n

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Uncertainties in the retrieval of remote sensing reflectance from OC satellite observations
DESCRIPTION:Title: Uncertainties in the retrieval of remote sensing reflectance from OC satellite observations \nSpeaker: Eder Herrera Estrella\, NOAA EPP/MSI CESSRST-II Fellow at CUNY \nDate: August 9\, 20223 \nTime: 1:30 PM ET \nVenue: Virtual \nMeeting Link :  meet.google.com/xjr-zfee-aet \nPhone Number\n(‪US‬)‪+1 219-321-0478‬\nPIN: ‪651 945 406#‬ \nLearn more about the speaker \nAbstract: \nUncertainties in retrieving remote sensing reflectance\, Rrs\, from Ocean Color (OC) satellite sensors have a substantial impact on the performance of algorithms\, such as for the estimation of chlorophyll-a concentrations\, and inherent optical properties (IOPs). The impact is highest in the blue bands\, especially in coastal waters with low blue-band Rrs values. Sunlight propagates to the water and back to the top of the atmosphere (TOA) with the total radiance measured by the sensor capturing the radiances related to the instantaneous state of in-water conditions\, sky\, and sunlight reflected from the wind-roughened wave facets and light scattered on molecules and aerosols in the atmosphere. All these components are associated with uncertainties\, which together with the effects of the instrument noise and uncertainties in aerosol models in the atmospheric correction process\, contribute to uncertainties in the retrieved water-leaving radiance and remote sensing reflectance. Assuming that these uncertainties are mostly proportional to the corresponding radiances and taking advantage of the differences in the spectra of these radiances\, we analyzed the contribution of the components above to the total Rrs uncertainties in the SNPP-VIIRS level 2products for multiple scenes in the open ocean and coastal waters at different spatial resolutions. Results are complemented by data from several AERONET-OC sites and the VIIRS validation/calibration cruises and showed that the Rayleigh component (molecular scattering and surface effects) is the main source of 𝑅𝑟𝑠 uncertainties for any water type followed by water variability\, which has a bigger role in coastal areas\, while the contributions of other components including aerosol scattering are usually smaller \n
