SUMMARY:2023 CFWE Fall Seminar Series - Hui Peng
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 Fall Seminar Series will feature Associate Professor Hui Peng of the College of Environmental Science & Engineering at Ocean University of China. Peng will give a talk about the application of interpretable machine learning in water science on Tuesday\, Sept. 5\, at 3:30 p.m. in Room 2217 of the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment Building located at 602 Duncan Drive\, Auburn\, AL.  \nPeng is hosted by Dr. Latif Kalin\, an instructor and research professional in the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment. Dr. Peng will discuss the interpretable machine learning method and its application in hydrology and water quality. Further\, she will present the integration of hydrological models with machine learning for improved understanding and prediction of streamflow and river water quality.  \nDr. Hui Peng is an Associate Professor in the College of Environmental Science and Engineering at Ocean University of China. This year she is a visiting scholar in CFWE. She studies hydrology and water quality modeling. She is an expert in many hydrological models (such as SWAT\, RHESSys\, and WEP) and machine learning techniques (such as ANN\, RF\, and XGBoost). She has published 20+ papers with 400+ citations. Dr. Peng earned her B.E. from Sichuan University and M.S. & Ph.D. from China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower. \nFaculty\, students\, and the public are invited to attend this program. Advanced registration is not required.  Refreshments will be available after the seminar\, and CFEs are available upon request. Parking is available on the third and fourth floors in the South Quad Parking Deck across from the CFWE Building on Duncan Drive.

SUMMARY:2023 CFWE Fall Seminar Series - Christopher G. Hunt
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 Fall Seminar Series will feature Christopher G. Hunt\, Research Chemist in the Forest Products Laboratory at USDA Forest Service. Dr. Hunt will give a talk about protein adhesives for wood products on Tuesday\, Sept. 12\, at 3:30 p.m. in Room 2217 of the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment Building located at 602 Duncan Drive\, Auburn\, AL.   \nDr. Soledad Peresin\, associate professor and leader of the Sustainable Bio-based Materials Lab in the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment\, hosts Dr. Hunt. Bio-based proteins are making inroads into the wood adhesive market\, but we have very little understanding of their structure\, properties\, or bonding mechanisms. This talk will provide an overview of bio-based wood adhesives\, discuss the potential of manipulating a protein’s aggregation state to improve performance\, and finally look at the interesting material properties of soy protein adhesives.   \nDr. Hunt is a research chemist at the Federal Laboratory devoted to better use of bio-based forest materials. He has a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. Currently there is intense interest from industry in replacing petrochemical adhesives for wood products with bio-based alternatives. Dr. Hunt’s lab works with soy protein adhesives for wood bonding\, as soy proteins can deliver much higher strength than they currently do in commercial formulations. Dr. Hunt’s research is focused on determining which proteins are responsible for improving protein adhesive performance\, with an ultimate goal of improving the performance\, price\, and carbon footprint of protein adhesives. Other areas of research include wood-water interactions\, diffusion through wood cell walls\, wood adhesives in general\, fungal mycelia as binders for wood products\, and improving our understanding of why wood behaves the way it does.  \nFaculty\, students\, and the public are invited to attend this program. Advanced registration is not required.  Refreshments will be available after the seminar\, and CFEs are available upon request. Parking is available on the third and fourth floors in the South Quad Parking Deck across from the CFWE Building on Duncan Drive.

SUMMARY:2023 CFWE Fall Seminar Series - Cali Crampton
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 Fall Seminar Series will feature Dr. Cali Crampton\, Program Manager at the Kaua‘i Forest Bird Recovery Project. Crampton will give a talk titled\, “Resisting extinction – Ensuring the survival of Kaua‘i’s native forest birds” on Tuesday\, Sept. 19\, at 3:30 p.m. in Room 2217 of the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment Building located at 602 Duncan Drive\, Auburn\, AL. \nDr. Crampton is hosted by Dr. Jean Fantle-Lepczyk\, assistant research professor of wildlife in the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment. Dr. Crampton will provide an overview of the evolution and ecology of Hawai‘i’s forest birds\, outline the causes leading to the current extinction crisis in Hawai‘i\, and discuss the research and conservation measures being employed to address this crisis. \nDr. Crampton has been the Program Manager at the Kaua‘i Forest Bird Recovery Project since April 2010\, where she oversees research and conservation projects to benefit Kauai’s forest birds. She obtained her Ph.D. in Ecology\, Evolution and Conservation Biology from the University of Nevada at Reno in December 2004. Dr. Crampton has extensive experience coordinating all stages of large research and monitoring projects with teams of diverse stakeholders to help conserve a variety of terrestrial taxa\, including bats in Alberta’s aspen forests\, phainopepla and other desert species in remnant desert woodlands in southern Nevada\, and the endangered Laysan teal in the Pacific. \nFaculty\, students\, and the public are invited to attend this program. Advanced registration is not required.  Refreshments will be available after the seminar\, and CFEs are available upon request. Parking is available on the third and fourth floors in the South Quad Parking Deck across from the CFWE Building on Duncan Drive.
