SUMMARY:In Drought and Deluge: How Applied Hydroinformatics are Becoming Standard Operating Data for All Californians\, Apr 16
DESCRIPTION:A central problem for all Californians is that there is often not enough water or too much. While the Mediterranean climate of cool wet winters and dry warm summers creates highly livable environments\, inter- and intra-annual variation in precipitation has necessitated the development of vast engineering works to divert\, capture\, store\, transport\, and deliver water from regions of abundance to regions of scarcity. This human driven transformation of California’s environment has resulted in the 10th largest global economy. It has also resulted in acute issues in environmental sustainability that must be addressed as we hurtle toward meeting the water and food security demands of 50 million Californians and an interdependent agricultural trade system. \nIncreasingly all Californians have become water managers as the state wrestles with persistent drought and unreconciled competing demands for scarce water resources. To help inform these water management decisions\, the emerging field of hydroinformatics is being used to improve underlying information stores about water – its collection\, storage\, synthesis and dissemination. This talk will explore how improved decision making and resource management are emerging from synthesized water data. Examples include “hydrolapse videography” – a digital\, time-encoded coupling of hydrologic information records with corresponding timelapse imagery – as a means to provide river managers a rich\, but intelligible\, data stream that is both qualitative and quantitative in nature. \nBiography: \nJoshua Viers joined the CITRIS leadership as the director at UC Merced in August 2013. Prior to this\, Dr. Viers has been serving in a research capacity at UC Davis for 10 years since receiving his Ph.D. in Ecology there\, most recently as Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy. Before that he received his B.S. in International Agricultural Development from UC Davis\, where he received an Outstanding Performance Citation. He has also served in leadership roles in the Center for Watershed Sciences\, currently as Executive Associate Director\, on the UCD Graduate Education Committee\, and has chaired the International Programs Committee for the College of Agriculture & Environmental Sciences. \nDr. Viers currently has over $6M in active grants and supports a research team of nearly 30 students\, postdocs\, and staff with the support of sponsors including the Nature Conservancy\, California Energy Commission\, CALFED Ecological Restoration Program\, Caltrans\, North Coast Water Quality Control Board\, US Bureau of Land Management\, USDA\, US Fish and Wildlife Service\, and the US Forest Service. Josh developed and led the UC Extension program in GIS for Watershed Analysis (180+ hours of instruction\, 300+ students)\, and taught undergraduate courses in environmental data analysis and global water resources\, and has been involved in mentoring graduate students.\n———–\nLive broadcast at  http://video.citris.berkeley.edu/playlists/webcast.

SUMMARY:CEE's Spring Distinguished Lecture with Armen Der Kiureghian\, Apr 17
DESCRIPTION:Post‐Hazard learning\, risk assessment and decision‐making for infrastructure systems \nArmen Der Kiureghian\nDepartment of Civil & Environmental Engineering\nUniversity of California\, Berkeley \nRobust performance and rapid recovery of infrastructure systems in the immediate aftermath of a major hazard are crucial for mitigating losses and assuring well‐being of communities. Infrastructures\, such as transportation and communication networks and power\, water and gas distribution systems\, are especially vulnerable to natural and man‐made hazards due to their spatially distributed exposure\, interdependence between components\, and multiplicity of failure modes. In this lecture\, I will use the Bayesian network methodology to model the hazard and the infrastructure system and to process information gained from sensors\, and I will use influence diagrams to make decisions on operational levels of system components and to prioritize component inspections. An application to a hypothetical model of the California high‐speed rail system in the aftermath of an earthquake in the Bay Area will demonstrate the main ideas of the approach.

SUMMARY:California in Drought\, Apr 18
DESCRIPTION:California is experiencing its worst drought in recorded history\, but droughts are not new to California. Over the past 150 years\, during which California’s water infrastructure and its expectations for water supply developed\, may have actually been a wet anomaly in California’s deeper history of aridity. Adding climate change-induced variability\, drought will be part of the ‘new normal’ for California. Join us for panel discussions speakers discussing the state of the drought and how to address these issues.

SUMMARY:TRUST Security Seminar\, Apr 24
DESCRIPTION:Two decades of analysis have produced a rich set of insights as to how the law should apply to the Internet’s peculiar characteristics. But\, in the meantime\, technology has not stood still. The same public and private institutions that developed the Internet\, from the armed forces to search engines\, have initiated a significant shift toward robotics and artificial intelligence.  \nThis article is the first to examine what the introduction of a new\, equally transformative technology means for cyberlaw (and law in general). Robotics has a different set of essential qualities than the Internet and\, accordingly\, will raise distinct issues of law and policy. Robotics combines\, for the first time\, the promiscuity of data with the capacity to do physical harm; robotic systems accomplish tasks in ways that cannot be anticipated in advance; and robots increasingly blur the line between person and instrument. \nCyberlaw can and should evolve to meet these challenges. Cyberlaw is interested\, for instance\, in how people are hardwired to think of going online as entering a “place\,” and in the ways software constrains human behavior. The new cyberlaw will consider how we are hardwired to think of anthropomorphic machines as though they were social\, and ponder the ways institutions and jurists can manage the behavior of software. Ultimately the methods and norms of cyberlaw — particularly its commitments to interdisciplinary pragmatism — will prove crucial in integrating robotics\, and perhaps whatever technology follows. \nRyan Calo researches the intersection of law and emerging technology\, with an emphasis on robotics and the Internet. His work on drones\, driverless cars\, privacy\, and other topics has appeared in law reviews and major news outlets\, including the New York Times\, the Wall Street Journal\, and NPR. Professor Calo has also testified before the full Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate. \nProfessor Calo previously served as a director at the Stanford Law School Center for Internet and Society (CIS) where he remains an Affiliate Scholar. He also worked as an associate in the Washington\, D.C. office of Covington & Burling LLP and clerked for the Honorable R. Guy Cole on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. \nProfessor Calo serves on numerous advisory boards\, including the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)\, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)\, the Future of Privacy Forum\, and National Robotics Week. Professor Calo co-chairs the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence committee of the American Bar Association and is a member of the Executive Committee of the American Association of Law Schools (AALS) Section on Internet and Computer Law.

SUMMARY:Bone Flute to Auto-Tune: A Conference on Music and Technology in History\, Theory and Practice\, Apr 24-26
DESCRIPTION:What shapes our music technologies? How do our technologies shape our musical practices and thought? An exciting body of scholarship has addressed such questions for sound recording\, electronic instruments and digital media\, illuminating the development and adoption of new technologies and their consequences for the creation\, circulation\, consumption and conception of music. Yet older technologies too were once new – and new technologies often revive or perpetuate old values\, compromises and assumptions in unrecognized ways. This conference aims to question and illuminate the acoustic/electronic and analog/digital divides by addressing “new” music technologies from across history\, from notation systems to sound recording\, string instruments to synthesizers\, carillons to computers\, metronomes to MIDI – from bone flute to auto-tune. The conference also aims to open up dialogues between past and current practice by bringing together scholars\, musicians and inventors from the Bay/Silicon Valley Area and beyond.

SUMMARY:Recent Progress with Nanowires: Growth and Energy Applications\, Apr 25
DESCRIPTION:The scientific field of (compound) semiconductor nanowires got started seriously in the US and in Europe about 15 years ago\, some ten years after the original break-through research conducted by Dr. Kenji Hiruma and his team at Hitachi in Japan. \nOur own early work was initially very much exploratory research\, testing to what extent we could understand\, control and have fun with the ways in which nanowires nucleate and grow. The whole field of nanowires saw great progress in the use of nanowires for physics and for fairly simple model devices. Just in the last five\, or so\, years we have seen serious break-through in novel growth methods and the understanding of nanowire growth\, as well as in the development of new technologies enabling efficient fabrication of nanowires for areas like solar cells and light-emitting diodes.  \nIn this talk I will cover all these areas\, with an emphasis on recent progress in controlled and efficient fabrication of nanowires for energy applications.

SUMMARY:Groundtruth and Airwaves: Sensor Networks and Emerging Technology for Environmental Journalism\, Apr 30
DESCRIPTION:Groundtruth and Airwaves: Sensor Networks and Emerging Technology for Environmental Journalism \nSymposium\, April 30\, 1pm – 5pm | Banatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, University of California\, Berkeley \nPresented by: Internews’ Earth Journalism Network and CITRIS (Center for Information Research in the Interest of Society) \n$20 for general admission / $10 for faculty and staff / $5 for students \n \nTechnology–as remote as satellites and as close as our smartphones–offers new opportunities for collecting data about environmental topics. Evidence of rising sea levels\, poor air quality\, noise pollution and more can now be gathered from wireless sensor networks\, open public data sets\, and user-generated data from social media platforms. These tools make it simpler to gather\, analyze and visualize data\, helping to drive news stories for journalists and more thoughtful engagement and advocacy by activists. \nYet vexing climate problems or environmental health hazards may not fit neatly into data sets or be available for affected locales. In developing countries\, where 80% of the world’s population resides and where environmental degradation is felt most acutely\, environmental hotspots are often “data deserts.” What does this rise of “sensor journalism” mean for environmental news? \n“Groundtruth and Airwaves” will showcase a number of newsworthy environmental and health-related sensor projects currently underway. After a session of Lightning Talks\, working journalists from around the world will join a panel of technology experts and research scientists to explore opportunities and challenges found at the nexus of DIY sensors\, crowdsourced data\, and environmental and health journalism. What are the implications of new technology for the future of journalism? What role does crowdsourced data play in creating new media narratives about our environment? Are sensors really making a difference for journalism and news production\, or are technology tools and platforms limited to the domain of research scientists and the most tech-savvy news organizations? \nAdvanced registration is required http://groundtruthandairwaves.eventbrite.com \n  \nKEYNOTE: \n\n\n\n\n\nNadav Aharony\, Behavio\, Funf\, Google\, SXSW Tech Challenge WinnerDr. Nadav Aharony is co-founder and CEO at Behavio. He completed his PhD at the MIT Media Lab’s Human Dynamics group\, where he investigated the use of mobile phones as social and behavioral sensors\, conducted one of the largest mobile data experiments done in academia\, and initiated the open source mobile sensing platform that became “Funf.org”: http://funf.org. Nadav was also a Fellow at the MIT Center for Civic Media for 3 years\, since its inception\, where he worked on topics of mobile and social activism.

SUMMARY:Intermittency-Friendly Community Scale Renewable Energy Microgrids\, May 7
DESCRIPTION:The challenges proposed by long-term resource supplies\, global climate change and energy market volatility require strategies and policies directed towards the development of technologically\, economically and socially acceptable energy solutions. The need for major reductions in fossil fuel consumption and carbon emissions from large-scale centralized power generation will require a significant increase in the use of sustainable energy sources and facilities for delivery and distribution. \nThis talk will describe a joint US-Danish collaboration between UC Santa Cruz\, UC Davis and Aalborg University and the Technical University of Denmark(DTU) to investigate\, develop and deploy distributed community-scale electro-thermal micrgrids based upon 100% renewable energy\, as integrated systems that combine electricity generation\, heating and cooling optimized for efficiency and resource utilization. The key focus will be on intermittency-friendly system design. This program will serve as a model for trans-national education designed to solve global problems and will lead to a trans-national\, distributed virtual research\, design\, development and educational center dedicated to the goal of 100% renewable and sustainable energy production and use.\n————-\nMichael Isaacson has published over 130 articles and book chapters dealing with field emission\, scanning and scanning transmission electron microscopy (instrumentation and development)\, electron energy loss spectroscopy\, image processing\, electron optics\, electron beam modification of materials\, atomic resolution microscopy\, nanolithography and fabrication\, mesoscopic physics\, near field optical imaging and nanodevices for biology and medicine.

SUMMARY:Beyond Computation: The P versus NP question\, May 9
DESCRIPTION:What are the theoretical limitations of computer power? \nIn a remarkable 1956 letter\, the great logician Kurt Gödel first raised this question when he asked the famous mathematician and computer pioneer John von Neumann whether certain computational problems could be solved without resorting to a brute force search through many possibilities. In so doing\, he foreshadowed the P versus NP question\, one of the major unanswered questions of contemporary mathematics and theoretical computer science. This question asks whether every problem whose solution can be easily verified by a computer can also be easily solved by a computer. An answer to this question would reveal the potential for computers to solve puzzles\, crack codes\, prove theorems\, and optimize many practical tasks. \nThe event begins with a talk on the P vs NP question\, by Professor Michael Sipser of MIT. This will be followed by a panel discussion\, in which a group of distinguished computer science theorists will join Sipser to illuminate the current status of the question and our prospects for resolving it. Light refreshments will be served before the lecture\, at 5 p.m.

SUMMARY:Biological Inspiration: How We Learn from Nature to Design Robots\, Exoskeletons and Adhesives\, May 17
DESCRIPTION:Biological Inspiration is the use of principles from biology to generate novel designs through integration with the best human engineering. These fundamental principles have inspired the design of new manufacturing processes\, control circuits\, artificial muscles\, self-cleaning dry adhesives\, and autonomous legged\, search-and-rescue robots. \nAnimals have evolved simple control systems\, multifunction actuators and feet that allow no surface to be an obstacle. Using these principles\, many-legged robots such as RHex have been developed. These robots can function to gather information in hazardous areas\, and help first responders in search and rescue functions. \nAmazing feet permit creatures such as geckos to climb up walls at over one meter per second. Geckos attach by using millions of hairs on their toes. These natural nanotech tips don’t stick by glue\, suction\, or interlock like Velcro\, but only use intermolecular forces termed van der Waals forces. The hairy toes of geckos self-clean simply by walking. The diversity of hairs among the 850 gecko species is remarkable and we can’t yet explain this variation. However\, these natural designs have inspired a variety of synthetic adhesives manufactured from many different materials ranging from carbon-nanotubes to rubbery polymers. Practical applications are limitless – new band-aids\, surgical instruments\, tires\, shoes\, clothes\, sporting equipment and much more. \nTranslating Nature’s discoveries into products requires unprecedented integration among disciplines that include biology\, engineering\, physics\, chemistry\, computer science and mathematics\, as well as new collaborative models between universities and industry. \nRobert J. Full is a Chancellor’s and Goldman Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology. In his 28 years at Cal\, he has led a focused international effort to demonstrate the value of biological inspiration by the formation of interdisciplinary collaborations of biologists\, engineers\, mathematicians and computer scientists from academia and industry.

SUMMARY:Agricultural Imagery\, Governmentality\, and Self-Cultivation in Early Chinese Texts\, May 22
DESCRIPTION:Ritualistic and agricultural imagery dominate depictions of the human and social body in early Chinese texts. In this presentation\, I set out to dialogue passages from three texts from the 4th & 2nd century BCE in order to depict their distinct understandings of self-cultivation and governmentality. I analyze how changes in their usage of images of tilled fields and wilderness crystallize and purport conceptual transformations of rulership.
