SUMMARY:From Medieval Warm Period to the Little Ice Age
DESCRIPTION:FROM MEDIEVAL WARM PERIOD TO THE LITTLE ICE AGE: Join the Danbury Library for a compelling Zoom program as Dr. Mitch Wagener from the Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences at Western Connecticut State University delves into the intricate and interconnected stories behind some of history’s most significant developments. \nThis session will explore how early contact between Europeans\, Africans\, and Native Americans led to the spread of diseases to which New World peoples had no resistance. This caused millions of deaths\, resulting in abandoned agricultural lands reverting to forests\, which removed CO2 from the atmosphere and intensified the cooling of the Little Ice Age. The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora further cooled the climate\, leading to the “Year Without Summer” in 1816. During this time\, the poet Byron inspired Mary Shelley to write “Frankenstein\,” considered the first science fiction novel. \nFrom 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. This is a virtual event via Zoom. \nFREE. Registration is Required.\nFor more information\, visit https://danburylibrary.events.mylibrary.digital/event?id=114094 or contact Aurelio Muraca amuraca@danburylibrary.org

SUMMARY:Biology Research Seminar
DESCRIPTION:UNRAVELING STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS\, CARBON DYNAMICS AND WATER USE EFFICIENCY OF ECOSYSTEMS USING REMOTE SENSING OBSERVATATIONS AND DEEP LEARNING: The Department of Biology invites everyone to the Biology Department Seminar Fall Series. Our next speaker is Dr. Katerina Trepekli from the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management at the University of Copenhagen. In this seminar\, Dr. Trepekli will present new approaches for estimating and projecting carbon stocks\, structural characteristics\, and tree-species distribution at the individual-tree scale\, by utilizing drone-based/airborne instrumentation\, deep learning\, and forest growth modelling. Based on the concepts of micrometeorology\, we will discuss the potentials of gas analyzers\, laser scanners\, multispectral and thermal imagery onboard drones to map water use efficiency and vegetation indices of ecosystems at cm spatial resolution. \nFrom 4 to 5 p.m. in Room 125 of the Science Building on the Midtown campus.

SUMMARY:The Future Isn't What it Used to Be: Green Hydrogen
DESCRIPTION:THE FUTURE ISN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE: How do we implement Green Hydrogen and Fusion energies?  \nHuman civilization needs a reliable supply energy. When (if?) the brakes are put on fossil carbon\, we will need a variety of replacements. Some post-carbon sources are well known (solar\, wind\, hydro) while others are not.  We will learn that some solutions supply energy\, while others conserve it.  A note of caution from Mitch himself\, “The speaker is an ecologist\, not an engineer or city planner. Therefore\, definitive solutions are unlikely to be proposed. Many ideas will be discussed\, however\, and I hope that the audience will contribute some good ones.” \nThe C.H. Booth Library in Newtown will welcome Dr. Mitch Wagener\, Climate Change Educator\, WCSU Professor of Biology\, as part of its efforts to bring the 2023 UN Climate Conference in the United Arab Emirates\, Dubai  Nov. 30 – Dec. 12 to the attention of its patrons. \n\n\nDate:\nThursday Jul 13\, 2023\n\nTime:\n7  –  8:30 p.m.\n\nLocation: THIS IS A VIRTUAL EVENT\nC.H.

SUMMARY:WCSU Research Day
DESCRIPTION:WCSU RESEARCH DAY: This showcase of undergraduate and graduate research\, scholarship\, and creative inquiry projects will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Ives Concert Hall. If you are just interested in research\, or not yet sure what you want to do in your future career\, it is a great opportunity to learn about the interesting work being done in a variety of fields by students like you right here at WCSU. It’s also a good way to meet other students who share your passions and interests. Projects are submitted from students from a whole range of fields including biology\, psychology\, education\, chemistry\, English\, and history. There are also two keynote speakers who are both graduates from WCSU. \nKeynote Speakers: Gill Simmons is a meteorologist who will be talking about humanizing the science of weather\, and Dr. Brittany Baisch is a toxicologist who will be talking about methods for making safer decisions in her field. \nIf you can’t make it for the whole time\, that’s ok. You can always stop in for the student poster sessions or the keynote speakers.
