How to Solve Climate by 2030: We CAN Change the Future
Can we really stop climate change soon? Dr. Eban Goodstein, Director of Graduate Programs in Sustainability at Bard College, will discuss the Solar Dominance Hypothesis: the idea that the 2020’s could see massive global market disruptions in energy and EV’s. Combined with policies to ensure justice in the transition, this could open the road to "solve climate”—the energy side—over the next decade. Coffee, tea and cookies outside the hall at 4:00-4:15 p.m.
Unravelling the unsteady fluid dynamics in wind and hydrokinetic energy systems
In this Sustainable Energy Seminar, Jennifer Franck, Assistant Professor of Engineering Physics, will discuss research into unsteady fluid flows using computational tools. By gaining a better understanding of the flow physics, the goal is to harness these fundamental principles to help improve the performance of renewable energy systems such as wind or wave turbines.
2020 Wisconsin KidWind Challenge
The KidWind Challenge is a hands-on student wind turbine design competition that engages middle- and high-school students in STEM through the lens of wind energy. Student teams design and construct small wind turbines that they test in a wind tunnel, and meet with a panel of expert judges to present their design process and demonstrate their contextual knowledge of wind energy.
