Department of Mechanical & Aeronautical Engineering Seminar

2008-09-05T18:00:00Z

Dr. Stephen E. Schwartz, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, N.Y., will present "Earth's Climate Sensitivity: What it Means and What it Means to Us," 2:15 p.m. Refreshments will be at 2 p.m.

Abstract: Fossil fuels supply about 85% of the world's primary energy, and future use would not appear limited by availability of reserves, especially of coal. Rather, future use of fossil fuels will likely be limited by controls on the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that are agreed to by the nations of the world. The increase in atmospheric CO2 over the past 200 years, mainly from fossil fuel combustion, is confidently thought to have increased global temperatures and induced other changes in Earth's climate, with the prospect of much more severe consequences from projected future emissions. Limiting such changes in Earth's climate would place major constraints on the combustion of fossil fuels and/or the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere. Developing effective and cost-effective strategies for limiting CO2 emissions requires confident ability to project the changes in climate that would result from a given increase in atmospheric CO2. However, even the change in global mean surface temperature (GMST), the single most important index of climate change, that would result from a given increase in atmospheric CO2 remains uncertain to a factor of 2 or more, largely because of uncertainty in Earth's climate sensitivity, the change in GMST per change in radiative flux. This uncertainty in climate sensitivity, which gives rise to a comparable uncertainty in the shared global resource of the amount of fossil fuel that can be burned consonant with a given increase in global mean surface temperature, greatly limits the ability to effectively formulate strategies to limit climate change while meeting the world's future energy requirements. While improved knowledge of Earth's climate sensitivity is essential to development of optimal energy strategies, even for climate sensitivity at the low end of the range of present estimates, substantial reductions in CO2 emissions from their present values would be required to avert dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system that would otherwise occur well before the end of the present century.

Introduction to Aikido Workshop, sponsored by North Country Aikido

2008-09-06T18:00:00Z

Traditional Aikido is a dynamic martial art that employs circular and spiral motion in accord with natural body movements. Through coordinated use of body, mind and the energy of the other person, students can respond to force without entering into a contest of force. Therefore, men and women can employ and enjoy Aikido equally. Aikido develops body, mind and spirit. The emphasis on mutual respect fosters a supportive learning environment that promotes self-confidence and poise. This Introduction to Aikido Workshop is open to all adults interested in learning about this non-aggressive martial art. The workshop will include hands-on participation, demonstration, and description of aikido philosophy. No prior experience necessary. To participate, wear loose clothing, no jewelry and short fingernails. Observers are also welcome.

Ongoing Aikido classes meet: Wednesday and Friday 6-8 pm, Saturday & Sunday 2-4 pm. Sunday classes focus on basic concepts, and are ideal for beginners, though beginners are welcome at all classes.

Science Cafe: Weirdness of Reality Through the Eyes of a Physicist

2008-09-10T23:30:00Z

Speaker: Daniel ben-Avraham, Clarkson University
Our everyday life experiences are constrained to a narrow slice of reality, limited by our size, our particular place in the universe, the filtering of our own senses, even by the typical speed of our rockets, planes and cars. Science, however, paints an unimaginably vaster reality where our most basic concepts on the very nature of space and time are severely challenged, offering equally surprising views on such mundane questions as what constitutes a solid object, and why do apples fall from trees. This Science Cafe discussion will explore some of the eye opening lessons from modern physics, including relativity and quantum mechanics. Find out more about Clarkson's Science Cafe at www.clarkson.edu/sciencecafe.

Science Cafe: Biology of Prion Diseases

2008-09-24T23:30:00Z

Speaker: Ed Moczydlowski, Clarkson University
You may have heard of strange transmissible degenerative brain diseases such as kuru in New Guinea, mad cow disease or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) of humans, scrapie of sheep, and chronic wasting disease of elk. But did you know that all of these diseases are caused by a misfolded form of a normal protein encoded by one of our own genes? This Science Cafe discussion will trace the bizarre but fascinating story of the Nobel Prize winning discovery of prions in an attempt to separate the hype from the horror. Warning: sensitive topics such as cannibalism, downer cattle, Korean protests against US meat imports, GMOs and biotechnology will be given their due.
