Seminar: From Data Fusion to FEWSION: Creating Integrated Models to Understand and Visualize the Food, Energy, Water Nexus

Boral Theatre Ground Floor, AGSM Building (K15) UNSW, Kensington, NSW, Australia

From Data Fusion to FEWSION: Creating Integrated Models to Understand and Visualize the Food, Energy, Water Nexus Featuring A/Prof Richard Rushforth, School of Informatics, Computing and Cyber Systems Northern Arizona University Integrated food, energy, water (FEW) system models face numerous methodological and analytical challenges. Chief among these challenges are data quality, availability, comprehensiveness, and concordance.... View Article

Seminar: Alexander Piotrowski (University of Cambridge). Can deep ocean circulation pathways and strength be reconstructed using marine sediment dispersion?

Jaeger 1 Seminar Room Research School of Earth Sciences, 142 Mills Rd, Acton, ACT, Australia

Ocean circulation plays a key role in the Earth’s climate system because surface ocean currents transport heat and deep ocean water masses can sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Geochemical proxies measured on carbonate foraminifera picked from marine sediments have been widely utilized to reconstruct past ocean changes. However, it is difficult to use the... View Article
