All talks may be viewed on our \n Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n Abstract: \n The state of California is required under the Assembly Bill 32 or known as the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 to control for greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector. Although the main instrument for the sector — a cap and trade program — is expected to become effective next year\, the implementation by the California Air Resources Board together and other state agencies is subject to at least two concerns which possibly undermine the efficiency of the program: emission leakage and contract shuffling. This talk will summarize the outcomes from two projects that examine its emission and economic implications and highlight what we can learn from these modeling exercises.

In the past few years\, Berkeley\, the University of California\, and public universities nation-wide have experienced a massive disinvestment in public higher education that calls into question the very notion of these universities as public institutions. By 2012 state funding for UC Berkeley will constitute a mere 12% of our operating budget. At the same time\, an increasing body of scholarship and public conversation has also challenged the economic and civic value of higher education itself\, even as a source of economic and social opportunity for private individuals. In what sense\, then\, can this institution still be understood as a “public” institution and a “public good”? The Deans of Berkeley’s Colleges and Professional Schools believe it is imperative for academic leaders and public intellectuals to join together to meet the challenge: to define our character\, our mission and our contributions to public life. \n As the premier public university in the world\, UC Berkeley has a special responsibility and we are uniquely qualified to lead the way. We must respond by doing what Berkeley does best: mobilize research expertise\, invite informed debate and facilitate the exchange of knowledge about the constraints and opportunities ahead for the University of California and public universities nationwide. To this end\, the Deans of Berkeley’s Colleges and Professional Schools are organizing a series of public conversations on the four core challenges we face as a campus and as a community. On multiple fronts and through a variety of media sources\, these conversations will bring together scholars\, community organizers\, business leaders and politicians to engage in a dialogue with students\, faculty\, staff and the campus community at large about the issues most urgently relevant to the future of our university. Through this initiative we hope not only to understand the extent of our challenges but also to discover the best means to chart our path forward. We invite you to join us in defining our future.

Associated with democratic principles ranging from freedom to human rights\, equality\, and distributive justice\, “access” is nonetheless a complex and underanalyzed concept. In this talk\, which is meant to provoke conversation\, I seek to open “access” up for analysis rather than accept the concept as natural and positive. Taking the case of mass book digitization\, I will examine the practices and politics sheltered under its promise of “access” and then contextualize them within the ongoing shift in libraries from print ownership to digital access. I will end with some speculations about the place of “access” within a copyright regime when the commodity in question is no longer a book but access to that book. If “access” is replacing the copy\, how might it be regulated\, if at all?

The potential energy savings are tremendous as is the opportunity to reduce demand on the grid during critical peak use periods. Charlie will describe how low-cost wireless radio technology develop at UC Berkeley is creating a paradigm shift in the way we think about controlling lighting. Beyond deep energy savings and demand response\, the technology offers personal control for occupants and improved maintenance and security for facility managers. \nFounded by Charlie and Haas MBA graduates Josh Mooney and Zach Gentry\, Adura Technologies has commercialized this technology and is deploying it across the U.S. Charlie will describe the journey from a University research project to a venture-funded startup. \n  URL:https://citris-uc.org/event/to-the-dark-side-efficiency-and-demand-response-through-commercial-building-lighting-controls-oct-28/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20111028T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20111028T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T205817 CREATED:20140202T090101Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140202T090101Z UID:4262-1319788800-1319821200@citris-uc.org SUMMARY:Using High-Resolution Observations for Improving Wind Power Production: Two Case Studies in California\, Oct 28 DESCRIPTION: URL:https://citris-uc.org/event/using-high-resolution-observations-for-improving-wind-power-production-two-case-studies-in-california-oct-28/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20111031T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20111031T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T205817 CREATED:20140202T090101Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140202T090101Z UID:4263-1320048000-1320080400@citris-uc.org SUMMARY:ATC Lecture: Present Continuous Past(s): The Centre Pompidou New Media Collection\, Christine Van Assche\, Oct 31 DESCRIPTION:Christine Van Assche\, Chief Curator and Curator of New Media at the Centre Georges Pompidou\, will speak on the topic of contemporary art and new media. \n If one takes Nam June Paik’s first video tapes as a starting date\, New Media has already existed for half a century. And it has progressed considerably in this time\, stretching aesthetic and technological boundaries. The Centre Pompidou New Media Collection started 35 years ago and has since become one of the more important and internationally renowned collections of New Media works. The definition of New Media\, its history\, research\, conservation\, current trends\, and presentation in France and around the world will be the subject of this lecture. \n As Chief Curator and Curator of New Media at the Centre Georges Pompidou\, Christine Van Assche has assembled a renowned collection of video works and multimedia installations that comprises more than 1\,700 pieces. She has organized influential thematic exhibitions\, including Passages de l’image (1990)\, with Catherine David and Raymond Bellour\, and Sonic Process (2002)\, and a number of shows accompanied by monographic catalogues\, on such artists as Thierry Kuntzel\, Marcel Odenbach\, Tony Oursler\, Gary Hill\, Stan Douglas\, Mona Hatoum\, Pierre Huyghe and Bruce Nauman. She is the author of Vidéo et après. La Collection du Musée national d’art moderne (1996)\, among other publications\, and helped conceive the Web-based New Media Encyclopedia (www.newmedia-art.org).

All talks may be viewed on our \n Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n Abstract: \n Many strategies have been proposed for how to achieve low to zero carbon operations in the built environment. All the strategies associated with building efficiency – high value insulation\, low air infiltration\, passive solar\, daylighting\, natural ventilation\, shading\, efficient lighting and appliances are the proven foundation for reducing energy demand by 40-60%. Green urbanism – compact\, mixed-use\, high density\, walkable communities with frequent\, high quality public transit can reduce vehicles miles traveled (VMT) by 30-50% or higher.

Depending on the timescale\, a variety of mathematical models has been developed and are being used. Regional climate models are used with longer time scales\, ranging from seasons to decades while information from Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP)models are often employed to help with shorter time scale forecasts (days to weeks). The output of such models is then used as input to hydrologic models for a variety of applications\, including flood forecasting. \n This presentation reviews the state of the current capabilities of the above mentioned models in terms of their predication skill and their level of usefulness for operational hydrologic and water resources decision making. Examples related to each of these modeling timescales will be discussed with specific focus on the needs of arid and semi-arid regions.

All talks may be viewed on our \n Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n Abstract: \n Health care in America has increasingly priced itself out of the reach of customers. Employers and individuals have long complained about the system’s lack of affordability. And the payer of last resort-government-is now facing the same reality. \n Indeed\, the current debate over how to manage the country’s deficit has produced a striking milestone in American politics: Both sides of the aisle now agree on the need to dramatically rein in government health spending. The argument today is not about whether to cut costs\, but about how. \n Many schools of thought cast innovation as the principal problem in health care. They assert that the quest for the latest new gizmos\, without regard to value\, has brought the nation to this point. While there is no question that high-cost\, low-value products and services have been created in the name of innovation\, we believe that bold new clinical and business models\, often aided by technical breakthroughs\, are instead a vital part of the answer. \n Our experiences in the field have led us to create the CHCF Health Innovation Fund. This three-year\, $10 million effort is dedicated to identifying and investing in both nonprofit and for-profit companies developing technologies and services that have the potential to create a dramatic impact on the cost and accessibility of care. As we developed the fund\, we paid close attention to the creative approaches of other health-care foundations in this area. While most impact investing in health care to date has been from foundations working internationally\, we see a growing interest among social investors and entrepreneurs in tackling health-care costs and inequities inside the United States.

Systems such as Water\, Transportation\, Energy and Healthcare can be instrumented\, analyzed and optimized to make cleaner water\, less congested traffic\, cost-efficient energy\, and safer food and healthcare. \n Now\, we need to know what to do next. How do you infuse intelligence into a system for which no one enterprise or agency is responsible? How do you bring all the necessary constituents together? Our companies\, our cities and our world are complex systems—indeed\, systems of systems—that requirenew things of us as leaders\, as workers and as citizens. A smarter planet will require a profound shift in management and governance toward far more collaborative approaches.

Evgeny Morozov\, Internet-savvy analyst of social protest\, doubts that the new media necessarily represent “technologies of freedom.” Instead\, he argues in his new book The Net Delusion\, repressive regimes may use social networking sites and other digital media to track and subvert popular causes. On November 17\, Dissent magazine and the Institute for the Study of Societal Issues’ Center for Research on Social Change will present “The Internet and Democracy\,” a forum featuring Morozov and Jillian York of the Electronic Freedom Foundation in a dialogue on what democratic movements all over the world can expect from the new technologies.
