SUMMARY:2023 CFWE Fall Seminar Series - David Hill and Emily Knox
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe 2023 Fall Seminar Series will feature Assistant Professor Emily Knox and Associate Professor David Hill of the School of Architecture\, Planning and Landscape Architecture in the College of Architecture\, Design and Construction at Auburn University\, who will give a talk about the Alabama Meadows Project on Tuesday\, Aug. 29\, at 3:30 p.m. in Room 2217 of the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment Building located at 602 Duncan Drive\, Auburn\, AL.  \nThe professors are hosted by Dr. John Kush\, an instructor and research professional in the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment. Alabama Meadows is a field-based research project that re-builds knowledge about Southeastern meadows and grasslands. Over the last several years\, grounded theory has guided the installation and maintenance of five meadow test plots at the Mary Olive Thomas Demonstration Forest in Auburn\, Alabama. This talk will discuss the evolution of the project over the last several years and the role that landscape architects might play in landscape management.  \nDavid Hill is an Associate Professor and Program Chair of the Graduate Program of Landscape Architecture at Auburn University\, as well as the Founding Principal of Hillworks\, a design practice grounded in the ecological and cultural complexities of the Southeast. Emily Knox is an Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture at Auburn University. She is interested in the role that designers might play in large\, complex landscapes. Most recently\, this has included work in the ranching landscapes of the American West and meadow and grassland landscapes of the American Southeast. \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.

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.

Hartman will address scholarly communication issues\, including open access and predatory publishing\, which are commonly associated with frustration\, confusion\, and misconceptions among scholars. The rise of mega-publishers further complicates matters by blurring lines between “reputable” and “predatory” journals. As Journal Impact Factors of mega-journals have increased\, so has scrutiny of hasty peer review practices and aggressive solicitation of manuscripts. This presentation will focus on recent patterns of publishing in MDPI and Frontiers journals by Auburn University scholars and discuss concerns relevant to the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment researchers faced with choosing potential journal outlets for their work. \nPatricia Hartman is an Associate Professor at Auburn University Libraries\, where she has served as the Subject Librarian for the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment as well as the Departments of Biological Sciences and Mathematics since 2013.

SUMMARY:Discover Alabama Extension Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Experts in agriculture\, the environment and nutrition will address critical topics impacting Alabama communities Thursday\, Oct. 26\, as part the Alabama Cooperative Extension System’s Extension Week activities. The lecture\, “Sustaining Life: Exploring the Future of Food\, Water and Crop Production\,” will begin at 3 p.m. in the Auburn University Hotel and Conference Center auditorium. The presentation is free and open to the public. \nThe 2023 Discover Alabama Extension lecture features a lineup of experts who will shed light on vital aspects of Alabama’s growth and sustainability. \nH2O Horizons: Alabama’s Abundant Water Resources\nSpeaker: Eve Brantley\, Auburn professor and Extension specialist \nAlabama is a water-rich state\, where the rivers and reservoirs are home to species found only in Alabama. They supply drinking water\, power\, irrigation\, navigation and recreational opportunities. The Gulf Coast has a long tradition of tourism and prosperous seafood industries. New demands from increasing population in the Southeast\, climate uncertainty and changes in land use underscore the importance of science-based management of our water resources. \nA Changing Landscape: Exploring the Evolution of Crop Production\nSpeaker: Eros Francisco\, Auburn assistant professor and Extension specialist \nCrop production has been significantly impacted over the recent decades by new genetic traits\, management practices and breeding. These impacts have allowed farmers to successfully grow profitable and sustainable crops. This talk will highlight recent changes in crop production and what to expect in the near future. \nLive Well Alabama: Empowering Communities to Make the Healthy Choice the Easy Choice\nSpeaker: Katie Funderburk\, SNAP-Ed program coordinator and Extension specialist \nExtension has long been a trusted source of nutrition and health information. As obesity and diet-related chronic diseases are better understood\, the need for community-driven approaches to improve access to healthy food and physical activity for all has come to the forefront. Learn about the innovative approaches Live Well Alabama has taken to help communities create change from within toward a future where all people have access to nutritious food to fuel active lives. \nExtension Week activities run Oct. 23-28 at Auburn University. This lecture is just one of the many ways Alabama Extension delivers solutions for life’s everyday challenges. Extension educators are strong community partners\, bringing practical ways to support homes\, farms\, people and communities. There is more to discover at www.aces.edu/discover.
