On Wednesday, April 2, the Energy Solutions Forum will close out its fifth semester with a talk about decarbonizing industrial materials manufacturing processes! Production and consumption of industrial materials, like concrete and steel, are a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. Sabbie Miller, the director of the Materials Decarbonization and Sustainability Center at UC Davis and a faculty scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, will present on strategies for reducing emissions. Join us on Wednesday at 4 pm for the Energy Solutions Forum, and be sure to get there early to get a free cup of joe!?? https://lnkd.in/gk_-tDVA

Weather forecasting will play an increasingly important role in helping prepare communities for dangerous weather, but how are extreme snow and rain events forecasted? Research by College of Science at the University of Nevada, Reno professors Ania Panorska and Tom Kozubowski, along with colleagues from Scripps Institution of Oceanography, provides a new predictive model for extreme rain and snow events as well as the return periods and return levels of extreme events. https://bit.ly/4c60hLj

We're so proud to have Dr. Blewitt on our faculty! Go Pack! ??
In this episode of the #Sagebrushers podcast, President Brian Sandoval speaks with Geoffrey Blewitt, Ph.D. Blewitt is one of the lead scientists credited with making GPS accurate within a millimeter, resulting in discoveries related to the earth’s shape, dark matter tsunamis, mega earthquakes and more. Blewitt earned his Ph.D. in physics from Caltech (California Institute of Technology) then joined the faculty of the University of Newcastle in the U.K., becoming a professor of space geodesy in 1994. He joined the University of Nevada, Reno in the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology in 1999, becoming a professor of geosciences in the College of Science at the University of Nevada, Reno. During the episode, Sandoval and Blewitt discuss the science of geodesy as well as the many ways in which GPS benefits humans’ daily lives. They also chat about Blewitt’s research with atomic clocks and dark matter and explore what Blewitt’s recent election to the National Academy of Sciences, one of the highest honors a scientist can receive, means to him.

?? The Chemistry Behind St. Patrick’s Day! ?? From the green of chlorophyll to the gold-dissolving power of aqua regia, chemistry is everywhere this St. Paddy’s Day! ?? Barium chloride, beer fermentation, and even quinine fluorescence make the holiday a scientific celebration. And don’t forget Irish soda bread—its rise comes from an acid-base reaction, not yeast! Science makes everything more magical—even leprechaun gold! ???

Geothermal energy is the most abundant clean firm energy source on the planet and it’s available now at places where it is needed most. However, the industry has struggled to keep up with surging clean power demand because of several issues rooted in subsurface risk. This lecture is a view into how Zanskar, co-founded by alumnus Joel Edwards, is tackling these issues using modern generative science and subsurface imaging tools that have helped Zanskar discover more geothermal resources in the last year than the industry had in the prior decade. Edwards is also the CTO at Zanskar and will present his talk, Scaling Up Geothermal Power with Modern Exploration Tools, from 4 - 5 pm on March 5 for the Energy Solutions Forum. Registration is available on Eventbrite. https://lnkd.in/gawxaj6H

Congratulations to Dr. Baker Perry and his team for their successful installation of five weather stations and a glacier flux station on Aconcagua in Argentina! The highest station was installed at 22,769 feet or 6,940 meters above sea level. These stations will provide important insights into a region which has been experiencing a 15-year mega-drought. #climatescience #weatherstation #Aconcagua #drought University of Nevada, Reno Research Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering
On February 18, College of Science at the University of Nevada, Reno geography professor Baker Perry led an expedition to install the highest weather station in the world outside Asia. Dr. Perry and his team summitted Aconcagua to install the final piece of a network that will provide crucial weather and climate data about the Andes Centrales. The region has been experiencing a 15-year mega-drought, and this weather station network will provide a better understanding of the drivers of drought and availability of water resources for the Mendoza River and the millions of Argentinians that rely on the water from the mountains.

What is it like to install a weather station in one of the most dangerous places in the world? What is it like to float down the Amazon River to collect data in the jungle, with no idea whether your boat will be there when you come back? Nevada State Climatologist Baker Perry and Associate Professor Julie Loisel were interviewed about their experiences conducting research in extreme environments, from the tallest mountains in the world to tangled mangrove jungles. Podcast host Ali Dickson is a student in the Hitchcock Project for Visualizing Science at the Reynolds School of Journalism and asked the professors about their experiences collecting valuable data that serve as clues to understanding Earth's climate. The podcast episode is available on Spotify https://lnkd.in/gcAbpgKT
