Titan: Past, Present and Future The results of the Cassini/Huygens mission raise many questions about the source and fate of methane on Titan. Understanding the methane cycle on Titan is key to understanding its past history and future evolution and provide a context for considering life on Titan that uses methane for its biological solvent. ...
Advances in Global Climate Modeling for Scientific Understanding and PredictabilityThe climate system presents an array of scientific challenges. Additionally, there are demands to advance the frontiers of climate modeling. The consequences of a growing world population make it necessary that climate modeling provide a credible underpinning for enabling reliable predictions. This talk will examine prospects offered by recent development ...
A recent explosion in funding for bioenergy researchpromises to uncover a sustainable pathway for energy development. This challenge is daunting given the far reaching consequences of bioenergy that stretch from food security and rural poverty to biodiversity and water quality. Thus, the success of these rapidly growing research efforts will ...
ARF researchers have been applying ground penetrating radar as an archaeological survey and feature/strata mapping tool on several west coast projects. Data from these projects will be the focus of this workshop, along with examples from previous projects Conyers has led. Speaker: Dr. Larry B. Conyers.Room 101
Building Electronics from Solution: Materials, Device Integration and Application Development: Nano Seminar SeriesSolution-processed electronic materials have the potential to create a new manufacturing paradigm and applications domains beyond those now dominated by silicon technology. These materials can be deposited and patterned with tools commonly used in the graphics design and printing businesses. Over the past 10 years, solution-processed semiconducting materials have been ...
