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”

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: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
