SUMMARY:Department of Energy Speakers Series - Groundwater Monitoring and Remediation
DESCRIPTION:Michael Cline\, Division Director\nSoil and Groundwater Division\nDepartment of Energy\, Richland Operations Office \nMr. Cline’s lecture will focus on the current sampling and monitoring program on the Hanford Site along with the groundwater remediation that is being performed. He will also discuss the process for selecting the remedy to be implemented.\nThe Hanford Site\, part of the DOE nuclear weapons complex\, encompasses about 580 square miles along the Columbia River in southeastern Washington State. During World War II and the Cold War period the government built and operated nine nuclear reactors for the production of plutonium and other nuclear materials. \nDuring reactor operations\, chemical and radioactive wastes were released into the environment and contaminated the soil and groundwater beneath portions of the Hanford Site.\nSince 1989\, using its authority under CERCLA\, DOE has worked to remediate this contamination. \nOver the lifetime of the Hanford Site\, DOE has installed and maintained thousands of wells to monitor and remediate groundwater and provide geologic data. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Seminar - Understanding km- to Reach-Scale Hydrological Exchange Flows along a Large Dam-Regulated River Corridor by Dr. Xingyuan Chen
DESCRIPTION:We will have a seminar tomorrow April 13\, 11:10 AM -12:00 PM in BSEL 104 on “Understanding km- to Reach-Scale Hydrological Exchange Flows along a Large Dam-Regulated River Corridor” by Dr. Xingyuan Chen\, who is a senior scientist in Atmospheric Measurements and Data group at PNNL. Please join us. \nUnderstanding km- to Reach-Scale Hydrological Exchange Flows along a Large Dam-Regulated River Corridor  \n  \nAbstract : This study seeks to understand how the hydrological exchange flows (HEFs) at the river water and groundwater interface are impacted by the dynamics of river flow and the heterogeneity in hydrogeologic properties in dynamic river corridor systems. We used a combination of field observations and high-resolution 3D numerical simulations (PFLOTRAN) to understand the complex spatial and temporal dynamics of HEFs from the km- to reach-scale (10s of km) along the regulated river corridor of the Hanford reach. The spatially distributed hourly data acquired from a monitoring well network at the Hanford site are used to define the initial and boundary conditions of groundwater aquifer\, as well as for calibrating and validating numerical models. The drilling logs of the wells and river bathymetry were used to conceptualize the hydrogeologic formations of the domain\, which show substantial variability in aquitard topography within the Hanford river corridor. Multiple numerical tracers are introduced at selected segments of river boundary to track the contribution of river water in the groundwater system. Particle tracking is run to reveal exchange pathways and estimate the distributions of river water residence time. \nAt the km-scale\, the exchange pathways exhibit strong heterogeneity along the river shoreline within a given flow window as impacted the physical heterogeneity in riverbed substrate and in the aquifer. The riverbed permeability (or conductance) and its spatial heterogeneity are identified as the most sensitive parameters of the HEF model. The exchange patterns also vary substantially across different flow regimes. Consequently\, the residence time distribution of river water in the groundwater system is featured by long tails and multiple modes. The reach-scale HEF model encompasses multiple hydromorphic features of the entire reach\, which showed increasingly more complex spatial and temporal patterns of HEFs as the scale grows. The HEF studies at both the km and reach scales fill in a critical need in bridging the gaps between hydromorphic-scale process understanding and robust predictions of the watershed hydrobiogeochemical function \nShort Bio: Dr. Xingyuan Chen is a research scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. She is a co-PI on a DOE science focus area project that studies Influences of Hydrologic Exchange Flows on River Corridor and Watershed Biogeochemical Function. Her main research expertise is in multiscale hydrobiogeochemical modeling and data assimilation. She got her PhD degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering and a Master’s degree in Statistics from University of California\, Berkeley.

SUMMARY:WSU Tri-Cities Speaker Series - Fariba Alamdari\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:“If I don’t believe in my diversity\, why would anyone else?” \nIn a world in which many are raised to believe that our workplaces are responsible for raising us up\, recognizing our value\, and promoting us accordingly\, we are missing a key step in diversity and inclusion efforts. When we are fully accountable for our successes\, when we “own” our value\, and express our capabilities\, the “system” will advance and support us so we can do the work we are most called to do. If we wait for inclusion to come to us\, we may wait a lifetime. \nThis is Dr. Fariba Alamdari’s truth. It is her life experience\, and her results speak for themselves. \n“In a world in which many are raised to believe that our\nworkplaces are responsible for raising us up\, recognizing our\nvalue\, and promoting us accordingly\, we miss a key step in\ndiversity and inclusion efforts. If we wait for inclusion to come\nto us\, we may wait a lifetime.” \nIs there an event website or URL?\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/355687185251456/

SUMMARY:CE Seminar Series: Global Climate Change: A solvable but wicked Problem
DESCRIPTION:CE SEMINAR SERIES\nEveryone is encouraged to attend!\nFriday\, November 16th\, 2018\n12:10 – 1:00 pm | TFLO 133\nDr. Steve Ghan\nClimate Scientist\,\nPacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)\nGlobal Climate Change:\nA Solvable but Wicked Problem\nAbstract\nFossil fuels have played a major role in lifting humans out of poverty\, but the carbon dioxide\nemitted to the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned is driving global changes in the\nclimate system that threaten that prosperity. In this seminar\, Dr. Ghan will show how the\nglobal changes depend primarily on the total carbon emitted and the time for the changes\nto manifest. He will then summarize the various technologies readily available to replace\nfossil fuels\, and the barriers to adopting them. He will finish with a message of hope\,\ndescribing effective and durable political action that can overcome those barriers.\nBio\nSteven Ghan was a climate scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory from 1990\nto 2018 and PNNL Lab Fellow since 2011\, following five years at Lawrence Livermore National\nLaboratory and receiving his bachelors degree in Atmospheric Sciences from the University\nof Washington in 1979 and his doctorate in Meteorology from the Massachusetts Institute\nof Technology in 1988. He is internationally recognized for his expertise in representing\naerosol particles and their affects on clouds and climate in global climate models. He has\nauthored more than 180 publications in scientific journals\, is cited in the top 1% of all earth\nscientists\, and served as an editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research – Atmospheres\nfrom 2007 to 2016 and as Editor-in-Chief from 2012 to 2016. He has contributed to three\nclimate change assessments by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\, which in\n2008 was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for the assessments. He is a Fellow of the American\nGeophysical Union.

SUMMARY:CE Seminar Series - Evaluating Water Security in Jordan using a multi-agent hydroeconomic model with Dr. Jim Yoon - PNNL
DESCRIPTION:CE SEMINAR SERIES\nEveryone is encouraged to attend!\nFriday\, November 30th\, 2018\n12:10 – 1:00 pm | TFLO 133\nDr. Jim Yoon\nWater Security and Resilience Scientist\,\nPacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)\nEvaluating Water Security in Jordan using\na Multi-Agent Hydroeconomic Model\nAbstract\nJordan currently faces a water crisis of unprecedented severity\, dealing with the combined impacts\nof extremely limited water availability\, destabilizing regional conflict\, and adverse climate change\nimpacts. We developed a coupled human-natural system multi-agent model for the long-term\nevaluation of water security in Jordan\, the product of a multi-year international research effort\ncarried out by an interdisciplinary research team spanning the fields of hydrology\, water resources\nengineering\, political science\, geography\, and economics. The modular multi-agent model is used\nto evaluate interventions for enhancing Jordan’s water security\, integrating biophysical modules that\nsimulate natural and engineered systems with human modules that represent decision-making at both\ninstitutional and consumer levels. The model is run through the end of the 21st century to evaluate\nwater supply\, demand\, and institutional interventions over a wide range of plausible climate and\nsocioeconomic scenarios. Model results paint an alarming outlook of Jordan’s future water security\nwith nearly 60 percent of the country’s low-income household population experiencing water use\nbelow 40 liters per capita per day. Surface water supplies decrease by over 50 percent relative to\nhistorical conditions and groundwater wellfields near the main urban centers are depleted by over 50\npercent. Although climate and socioeconomic change will place extreme stress on the system under\nall conditions evaluated\, model results also indicate that an aggressive combination of supply and\ndemand management interventions can substantially reduce Jordan’s water insecurity through the\nend of the century.\nBio\nDr. Jim Yoon is a water security and resilience scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. At\nPNNL\, Jim focuses on the development of novel techniques to simulate water and interconnected\nsystems\, targeting solutions that can enhance critical infrastructure resilience under changing\nand adverse conditions. Prior to joining the labs\, Jim completed an M.S.\, Ph.D.\, and Postdoc at\nStanford University in the Earth System Science Department. His research at Stanford focused on the\ndevelopment of a multi-agent hydrologic-economic model for evaluation of water security in Jordan\nand the Middle East. Jim spearheaded the Jordan Water Project (JWP)\, an international interdisciplinary\nresearch project supported by a consortium of national science agencies with further assistance from\nUSAID. Prior to his work at Stanford\, Jim spent several years working as a water resources engineer\nat MWH Global in Southern California\, consulting for municipal clients across the western US. He is\nalso co-founder of WellDone International\, a San Francisco based non-profit organization working to\nsupport clean water and sanitation projects in underserved regions across the developing world. Jim\nholds a B.S. in Civil Engineering with an English Literature minor from UCLA.\nCivil and Environmental Engineering\nSchool of Engineering and Applied Sciences\nInterdisciplinary Excellence Built on World-Class Knowledge \n

SUMMARY:CE Seminar Series - Uncertainty quantification and reduction with conditional Gaussian process models in high dimensional stochastic systems
DESCRIPTION:Ramakrishna Tipireddy\, Ph.D.\nResearch Scientist in the Physical and Computational Sciences Directorate \nPacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) \n  \nAbstract\nThis talk will present a brief introduction to uncertainty quantification (UQ) quantification methods for\nhigh dimensional stochastic PDEs and introduce conditional Gaussian process (GP) models for uncertainty\nreduction. The PDE coefficient is represented as a log-normal random field\, with the corresponding\nGaussian part modeled as a zero-mean Gaussian process (GP) with appropriate covariance function. The\nreduction in uncertainty is achieved by conditioning the GP model on observations of the coefficient at a\nfew spatial locations. The resulting conditional GP model is then discretized using truncated Karhunen-\nLo`eve (KL) expansion and the stochastic solution of the PDE is computed using Monte Carlo and sparsegrid\ncollocation methods. Finally\, uncertainty in the system is further reduced by adaptively selecting\nadditional observation locations using two active learning criteria. The first criteria minimizes the\nvariance of the PDE coefficient\, while the second criteria employs approximately minimizes the variance\nof the solution of the PDE.\nBio\nThis talk will present a brief introduction to uncertainty quantification (UQ) quantification methods for\nhigh dimensional stochastic PDEs and introduce conditional Gaussian process (GP) models for uncertainty\nreduction.

SUMMARY:MME Seminar Series - Vortex-Breakdown and Wall-Separation States in Swirling Flows in Finite-Length Pipes
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe dynamics of inviscid-limit\, incompressible and axisymmetric swirling flows in finite-length\, long circular pipes\nwith varying geometries is studied through global analysis techniques and numerical simulations. The inlet flow is\ndescribed by fixed-in-time profiles of the circumferential and axial velocity together with a fixed azimuthal vorticity\,\nwhile the outlet flow is characterized by a state with zero radial velocity. A numerical algorithm based on the upwind\nfinite-difference method for the evolution of the circulation and azimuthal vorticity together with a Poisson solver for\nthe solution of the stream function in terms of the azimuthal vorticity is developed. The convergence of computed\nresults with mesh refinement is demonstrated. Moreover\, a mathematical analysis that is based on the Squire-Long\nequation (SLE) is formulated to identify steady-state solutions of the problem with special conditions to describe\nstates with separation zones. These solutions include the base columnar flow state\, a decelerated flow along the\ncenterline\, an accelerated flow along the centerline\, a vortex-breakdown state and a wall-separation state. The\nproblem is then reduced to the columnar (axially independent) SLE\, with centerline and wall conditions for the\nsolution of the outlet flow stream function. The numerical simulations realize the various flow states and show\ncorrelation between time-asymptotic states and steady states predicted according to the SLE and the columnar\nSLE problems. The simulations also shed light on the stability of the various steady states. Results show that pipe\ndivergence promotes the appearance of breakdown states at lower inlet swirl levels while pipe contraction delays\nthe appearance of vortex breakdown to higher swirl levels and promotes formation of wall-separation states. The\ninfluence of various inlet swirling flow profiles on the manifold of steady states in a straight\, finite-length pipe and\non flow dynamics is also investigated. Depending on the inlet profiles\, flows may first exhibit vortex breakdown while\nothers wall-separation states. \nMME Seminar_Flyer_Zhang_02.22.2019

SUMMARY:National TRIO Day
DESCRIPTION:In honor of National TRIO Day\, TRIO Student Support Services is hosting a celebration event next Wednesday March 6\, 2019.  Leading up to and at the event we will be collecting non-perishable food items to donate to the WSUTC Cougar Cupboard.  In addition\, our students have been signing up for local volunteer opportunities such as tutoring support at the Family Learning Center\, providing workshops at the Kids Engineering Day at Jeffereson Elementary\, and offering mentorship for the Dream It\, Be It conference. \n  \nOverview of National TRIO Day: \n\nOn February 24\, 1986\, a congressional resolution (H. Con. Res. 278) declared that Saturday\, February 28\, 1986\, should be designated as “National TRIO Day” to commemorate the annual achievements of the Federal TRIO programs in communities across the country.\nEvery year since then\, our community has reserved the fourth Saturday in February as National TRIO Day — an opportunity to focus the nation’s “attention on the needs of disadvantaged young people and adults aspiring to improve their lives if they are to become contributing citizens of the country\, and to the talent which will be wasted if that investment is not made.”\nFor many programs\, National TRIO Day has become a tradition as it allows students who benefit from the TRIO programs and to give back to their local communities through acts of service.\n\n  \nPlease join us next week\, and bring a non-perishable food item\, in the Atrium beginning at 11:00 am as TRIO Student Support Services celebrates National TRIO Day.  There will be guest speakers from PNNL\, activities hosted by our students\, and light appetizers.   \n

SUMMARY:Campus lecture and discussion - Expert Women Explore The Heavy Burden Of Hanford Cleanup
DESCRIPTION: In celebration of Women’s History Month\, the Northwest News Network’s Anna King will present her award-winning public radio project Daughters of Hanford at WSU Tri-Cities. \nAfterwards\, King will moderate a panel discussion with three of those featured expert women. The event starts at 5 p.m.\, March 21\, in WSU Tri-Cities’ East Auditorium. \n“These women have intense experiences\, great depth of knowledge and funny stories to share about Hanford\,” says Anna King\, who also appears on WSU’s Northwest Public Broadcasting. “Hanford is a heavy burden that we all inherit and these women’s wisdom is invaluable.” \nWSU Tri-Cities\, WSU WiSTEM and the Women Chemist Committee of the American Chemical Society\, Richland Section\, are presenting the entertaining program together. \nDaughters is oral histories\, portraits and personal archives of women who changed the World War II plutonium production site\, and women who were changed by it. The evening’s panel discussion will feature three Daughters of Hanford: retired Washington State Ecology geologist Zelma Maine Jackson\, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Frannie Smith and retired head of Washington State Ecology’s Hanford program\, Jane Hedges. \n“Women’s contributions to the Hanford site and the Manhattan Project sites across the country\, but especially at Hanford\, are unknown\,” says Zelma Maine Jackson. “When you think of the nuclear industry you think of men\, you never think of women. But more than likely they performed 90 percent of the hard work — the laborious\, tedious\, number crunching\, dictating a letter\, making a policy come into effect — it’s always been the mental heavy load carried by women.” \nDaughters of Hanford was created in partnership with WSU Tri-Cities\, The REACH\, and Northwest Public Broadcasting. Daughters is a series\, a museum installation and a radio documentary. Daughters was awarded the Washington State Historical Society’s David Douglas award. \n“This won’t be a stiff lecture\, or a glum chat\,” King says about the upcoming event at WSU Tri-Cities. “Bring a young woman or girl and grab a seat for this entertaining evening full of dynamic sound\, surprising Northwest stories\, poignant moments and laughter.” \nDaughters gets its name from nuclear science. “Daughter products” are isotopes formed by radioactive decay of some other isotope. Daughters collaborators include: WSU Tri-Cities’s associate professor of fine arts Doug Gast\, Seattle-based photographer Kai-Huei Yau\, and newly-minted APM podcast editor Phyllis Fletcher. You can listen to the audio stories and explore the full project and photography at daughtersofhanford.org.
