SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange: Becca Fenwick on Aviation Workforce Training
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “CIDER\, a New Drone Education and Research Program at UC Santa Cruz” \nSpeaker: Becca Fenwick\, Director\, CITRIS Initiative for Drone Education and Research\, UC Santa Cruz \nRegister To Attend \nAbstract: Becca Fenwick will present on her work with the CITRIS Initiative for Drone Education and Research (CIDER) at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, the first UC undergraduate drone training program. CIDER offers training and research support for the use of drone technology across academic disciplines and industry sectors. Students benefit from experiential learning opportunities and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) licensure\, and faculty gain access to licensed pilots who can conduct flights for research and teaching purposes\, plus access to drone equipment. Industry partnerships and services contract provide internships and field training for students and research collaborations for faculty. CIDER values diversity and encourages students from backgrounds underrepresented in STEM to participate. The initiative recently received $1 million from the James Irvine Foundation to develop a workforce training program in the Salinas region. \n \nSpeaker Bio: At the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, Becca Fenwick is developing the CITRIS Initiative for Drone Education and Research (CIDER). This program brings together diverse students\, researchers and industry partners from many sectors to fuel research and innovation and develop a diverse drone workforce. Working with drones unites Fenwick’s varied skill sets: her geospatial expertise from a marine geology and geophysics doctorate from Scripps Institution of Oceanography\, her land conservation expertise from almost a decade as a reserve director for the UC Natural Reserve System\, and her 15 years of environmental IT\, tech and sensor network experience as the director of environmental IT for the UC Natural Reserve System. \nAbout the Series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry and civic leaders. Free and open to the public\, these seminars feature leading voices on societal-scale research issues. Presentations take place on Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m. PT. Have an idea for a great talk? Please feel free to suggest potential speakers for our series. \nSign up to receive the latest news and updates from CITRIS.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange: Alison Post on Open Government Platforms for Transit
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “When Do Local Governments Use Tech To Improve Transparency? The Case of California Transit” \nSpeaker: Alison Post\, Associate Professor\, Political Science and Global Metropolitan Studies\, UC Berkeley \nRegister To Attend \nAbstract: Transparency reforms instituting sunshine laws and open public meetings have been actively promoted in recent decades as means of keeping elected officials and bureaucrats more accountable to the public. Advances in communication technologies have enabled a new generation of such transparency-enhancing reforms and practices — including open data portals\, posting program information online and security alert systems. Under what circumstances do local governments adopt such technologies? This talk investigates this question by examining patterns of adoption and utilization of one technology — online scheduling information for public transit — for a comprehensive set of local transit providers in California\, drawing on original\, webscraped data. \n \nSpeaker Bio: Alison Post holds the Travers Family Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Chair of Political Science and is associate professor of global metropolitan studies at the University of California\, Berkeley. Her research examines urban politics and policy and other political economy themes\, including public service delivery\, regulation and business-government relations. She also collaborates with engineers\, urban planners and scholars of public health on research on infrastructure management and “smart city” technology adoption. She works principally in Latin America\, and recently in India and the United States as well. She is a former president of the Urban and Local Politics Section of the American Political Science Association and former co-director of the global metropolitan studies program at UC Berkeley\, and currently chair of the steering committee for the Red de Economía Política de America Latina (Repal). \nAbout the Series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry and civic leaders. Free and open to the public\, these seminars feature leading voices on societal-scale research issues. Presentations take place on Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m. PT. Have an idea for a great talk?

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange: Kaveh Madani on Human-environment Systems
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “Greater Than the Sum of Their Parts: Deceiving Assumptions in Analyzing Complex Human-environment Systems” \nSpeaker:  Kaveh Madani\, Head\, Nexus Research Programme\, United Nations University Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources (UNU-FLORES) \nRegister To Attend \nAbstract: Coupled human-environment systems are characterized by uncertainty\, limited predictability\, bounded rationality\, indeterminate causality and evolutionary change. To determine the impact of specific policy intervention\, an integrated analysis approach is needed that provides a holistic view of complex interactions within such systems. In this seminar\, Kaveh Madani\, the head of the Nexus Research Programme at the United Nations University\, highlights some of the major challenges of modelling and managing complex human-environment systems to argue why we often fail to develop comprehensive technological and policy solutions that can solve one problem without creating new ones. \n \nSpeaker Bio: Kaveh Madani is a globally recognized environmental scientist\, educator and activist\, working on complex human-nature systems at the interface of science\, policy and society. He is currently the head of the Nexus Research Programme at the United Nations University in Dresden\, Germany (UNU-FLORES). He has previously served as the deputy head of Iran’s Department of Environment and vice president of the U.N. Environment Assembly Bureau. He held different strategic roles during his public service and led Iran’s delegation in different major intergovernmental summits\, including the COP23 climate change negotiations. He is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and Environmental & Water Resources Institute (EWRI) and has received numerous awards and recognitions for his fundamental research contributions\, teaching innovations\, and outreach and humanitarian activities. \nAbout the Series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry and civic leaders. Free and open to the public\, these seminars feature leading voices on societal-scale research issues. Presentations take place on Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m. PT. Have an idea for a great talk?
