SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Understanding the socioeconomic impacts of climate change
DESCRIPTION:Title: Understanding the socioeconomic impacts of climate change \nSpeaker: Selenea Gibson\, NOAA EPP/MSI CESSRST-II Fellow at UMBC \nDate: June 21\, 20223 \nTime: 1:30 PM ET \nVenue: Virtual \nMeeting Link :  meet.google.com/eeu-gete-ueb \nLearn more about the speaker \nAbstract: \nAir quality monitors maintained by the EPA are placed in large metropolitan statistical areas around the United States. The citizen science project\, PurpleAir works to place their monitors in Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) that the EPA is not covering. When looking at the geographic locations where PurpleAir monitors are placed\, we noticed that they seem to be in Whiter and richer tracts/block groups. Using Baltimore City as our primary focus\, we noticed that the EPA has one monitor and it is located in a highly affluent tracts/block groups outside the city. PurpleAir has multiple monitors placed throughout the city but are co-located to the prominent White L that stretches from Roland Park to Fells Point (Brown 2016). PurpleAir placed their monitors in well-known historical areas within Baltimore City and with the city being majority 62.8% African American\, residents who are BIPOC (Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color) are less accounted for in the air quality data. The city structure of Baltimore displays racial capitalism and suburban segregation and is a gateway for creating other large metropolitan cites across the United States (Glotzer 2020). Our research question asks whether there is a racial disparity between the PurpleAir monitors and their geographic locations to those who are affluent and those who are BIPOC in Baltimore City. We want to investigate the gap of geographic locations containing the PurpleAir monitors starting with Baltimore City then moving on to the MSAs. To test our hypothesis\, we pulled all of the EPA/PurpleAir air quality monitors using API keys from open sourced websites. Then concentrated on the 2016-2020 5-year ACS survey data from the US Census Bureau and gathered unique fields needed to complete the analysis. Using spatial statistics and GIS software\, we created tables\, maps\, and plots to confirm our hypothesis. Our findings determined that there is a significant median household income and percent BIPOC difference when comparing PurpleAir tracts in MSAs\, especially in the Baltimore City area. We need more EPA and PurpleAir air quality monitors as there is not enough in Baltimore City. PurpleAir monitors are in predominantly Whiter tracts and block groups. For Portland and Seattle MSAs\, there are so many PurpleAir monitors that are measuring the majority of White tracts/block groups that it is skewing the data. Lastly\, we have a scale issue because Seattle and Portland have more PurpleAir monitors compared to Baltimore City and Philadelphia MSAs. We see a high amount of racial capitalism and highly uneven geographies in MSAs such as Portland and Seattle because of this. \n

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Evaluation of operational flood forecasting models in Puerto Rico
DESCRIPTION:Title: Evaluation of operational flood forecasting models in Puerto Rico \nSpeaker: Gerado Trossi Torres\, NOAA EPP/MSI CESSRST-II Fellow at UPRM \nDate: June 21\, 20223 \nTime: 1:00 PM ET \nVenue: Virtual \nMeeting Link :  https://meet.google.com/eeu-gete-ueb \nLearn more about the speaker \nAbstract: The aim of this project NOAA Experiential Research and Training Opportunities (NERTO) project carried out at the Weather Forecast Office (WFO) in San Juan\, Puerto Rico (PR) is to analyze hydrological data from the National Water Model (NWM) and compare it with observed data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The established case study was a flash rainfall event in February of 2022. This rainfall event lasted three days\, which precipitation accumulations from 1 to 16 inches were measured\, affecting around 29 municipalities. The study examines 13 USGS stations where the most significant river flow occurred\, surpassing the established river flood stages\, covering 10 of the 29 affected municipalities. The NWM output data from two of four configurations added in the model’s latest version were analyzed\, specifically for Puerto Rico. Within these configurations\, two variables are considered to conduct the analysis. The first variable\, RAINRATE\, offers the rainfall forecast for the event over PR. The second variable\, streamflow\, was used to develop the flow behavior throughout the 48 hours of the event.\nThe streamflow forecast was evaluated with observed data during the event measured by USGS stations. From our results\, three stations were chosen that represent different forecast scenarios. In the first scenario\, a station in Caguas had a precipitation accumulation of 2-inch with low projected streamflow of 500 cubic feet per second (cfs). The second scenario is a station in Naguabo with a 2-inch accumulation measured\, and the projected streamflow was predominantly high at 7000cfs. The last scenario station at Patillas with a buildup of 0.5 inches with projected streamflow of 1800cfs. The main observation in these three scenarios was that the most significant influence on the behavior is the topography around the station and the direction of its downstream flowline. In a station located in a valley\, the model will not predict an immediate response compared to a station with steep topography.

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Enhancing NWS Heat Services through Urban Heat Island (UHI) Mapping Information
DESCRIPTION:Title: Enhancing NWS Heat Services through Urban Heat Island (UHI) Mapping Information \nSpeaker: Ileana Morales\, NOAA EPP/MSI CESSRST-II Fellow at UTEP \nMentors:  Danielle Nagele\, NOAA NWS \nDate: June 14\, 20223 \nTime: 1:00 PM ET \nVenue: Virtual \nMeeting Link : Google Meet \nLearn more about the speaker \nAbstract: The global climate crisis is a prevalent issue that will disproportionately affect vulnerable populations. With rising temperatures\, susceptibility to heat effects has caused concern about thermal comfort and urban heat during the summer. Prior work has indicated that urban heat islands (UHI) can have adverse health outcomes and can be exacerbated depending on geographic location\, race-ethnicity\, housing characteristics\, and socioeconomic disparities. When a comparison was made to demographic data the NIHHIS/NOAA UHI Mapping Campaigns conducted throughout the U.S indicated specific disproportionate heat effect throughout the different cities mapped. This current study analyzes the UHI effect throughout the city of San Diego by performing a spatial analysis combining physical and social vulnerability. In addition\, it examines how this information can be used by National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Offices (WFO) and their partners to create more effective heat products and messaging. We conducted informational interviews with WFO meteorologist and their partners on how to provide useful information based on the combination of UHI and social vulnerability data. Ultimately\, we formulated some recommendations and best practices by which WFOs and their partners can use to identify and address high-risk social-physical geographies in San Diego City\, using methods that can be transferred to other sites.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Estimating attributable deaths from short-term pollution effects
DESCRIPTION:DATE:  March 23\, 2023 \nTIME: 1:00pm – 2:00pm (in-person in NYSDEC CO Conf-919 & webinar via remote connection). \nTITLE: Estimating attributable deaths from short-term pollution effects: differential air pollution impact on cause-specific mortality from multiple pollutants \nPRESENTER:  Ariel Spira-Cohen\, PhD; Senior Environmental Epidemiologist\, Bureau of Environmental Surveillance and Policy\, NYC DOHMH \nABSTRACT: Health impact assessment (HIA) is a common policy tool that quantifies health burden from air pollution under different policy scenarios. Most HIAs consider health impacts using risk estimates from single-pollutant models\, leaving uncertainty about varying impacts from multiple air pollutants. Pollution attributable fractions (AFs) and attributable counts (ACs) of mortality were estimated from single- and co-pollutant daily time-series models and a multipollutant Total Risk Index (TRI) considering citywide average concentrations of PM2.5\, NO2 and warm season ozone in NYC (2005-2019). We examined effects on total non-external mortality as well as major mortality sub-causes. We found that PM2.5 was more important for cardiovascular deaths\, ozone for respiratory deaths\, and NO2 for total non-external and cancer deaths\, with ~670 total non-external deaths on average attributed to NO2 annually. Annual average ACs from the full year TRI model (PM2.5 + NO2) was similar (~680 deaths). Co-pollutant models showed that NO2 ACs were more robust than PM2.5 ACs\, which diminished greatly. When summing ACs from co-pollutant models\, the summed ACs approximated the largest AC from either pollutant modeled alone. We also examined annual pollution ACs over time and found a reduction in PM-attributable deaths (~57% for total non-external deaths and ~62% for CVD mortality) consistent with a~55% decline in annual PM2.5 concentrations in NYC during the study period. While NO2 ACs also declined consistent with a ~40% decline in NO2 concentrations\, they still contribute to more deaths per year than PM2.5. Ozone concentrations have not declined and ozone ACs remained stable over time. Continuing to reduce local NO2 emissions (i.e.\, from traffic and buildings)\, may be most impactful in reducing pollution-associated mortality in NYC. Persistent ozone levels from regional source emissions remains a challenge. \nEVENT Details \nJoin from the meeting link :  https://meetny.webex.com/meetny/j.php?MTID=mc928628a59af153b80c230b7d68aabb9 \nJoin by meeting number \nMeeting number (access code): 161 145 9511 \nMeeting password: Welcome1 \nTap to join from a mobile device (attendees only)\n+1-518-549-0500\,\,1611459511## US (English Menu)\n+1-518-549-0059\,\,1611459511## US (Menú en Español) \nJoin by phone\n+1-518-549-0500 US (English Menu)\n+1-518-549-0059 US (Menú en Español)\nGlobal call-in numbers \nJoin from a video system or application\nDial 1611459511@meetny.webex.com\nYou can also dial 173.243.2.68 and enter your meeting number. \nSeminar is organized by: \nBAQAR: Bureau of Air Quality Analysis and Research of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Division of Air Resources (DAR) \nNYSERDA: NYS Energy Research and Development Authority

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.
