(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) 0:13 - Introduction 4:44 - Navigating the Perilous Waters at the Edge of Glaciers to Understand Sea Level Rise 49:21 - Audience Questions Collapsing ice shelves and calving of large icebergs in Greenland and Antarctica have recently become major drivers of sea level rise. The rapidity of these changes has come as a surprise, revealing major gaps in our understanding of how ice sheets respond to a changing climate. To a large extent, these gaps are due to the lack of measurements from the marine edge of glaciers - the Achilles' heel of glaciers. For over a decade, since the glaciers in Greenland began their retreat, Fiammetta Straneo and her group at Scripps Institution of Oceanography have been probing the edge of massive calving glaciers in iceberg-choked fjords in Greenland using helicopters, icebreakers, fishing vessels, and autonomous vehicles. The understanding gained through these measurements is being used in models aimed at improving sea-level rise predictions. Recorded on 05/13/2019. Series: "Jeffrey B.

Food production must rise by 70% to feed the planet by 2050, farmers are disappearing across the globe, impoverished communities struggle to get access to fresh healthy food, and America’s rust belt slides into decline. Could the answer to these seemingly disparate challenges lie at the intersection between a desert in Spain and a parking lot in Brooklyn? Matt Bodnar, named to Forbes “30 Under 30”, called a “Rising Restaurateur Star” by the National Restaurant Association and a “Strategy Pro” by Restaurant Hospitality Magazine, is a partner at early stage investment firm Fresh Hospitality. Bodnar joined Fresh in 2011 after several years at Goldman Sachs. He sourced and lead the firm’s investment in I Love Juice Bar, vertical farming startup Square Roots, Vui’s Kitchen, Grilled Cheeserie, and several more deals. Bodnar is a board member and works closely with a number of portfolio companies including Tazikis, I Love Juice Bar, Martins BBQ, Octane Coffee, and Fresh Technology. Bodnar is also the co-founder of Fresh Capital, which focuses on commercial real estate investing and development. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

6G cellular networks will be extremely complex systems that must meet many competing requirements in a large variety of environments and use cases. A key enabling 6G technology will be deep learning, which can unlock previously hidden system-level gains, particularly by effectively learning custom site-specific communication techniques that are optimally adapted for each cell-site. Prof. Jeffrey Andrews will present a short summary of some of his group’s recent discoveries and technologies based on deep learning (DL) that demonstrate a large potential impact in 6G. The first is a novel and practical approach for beam alignment in millimeter wave and THz bands that can achieve a phenomenal speed up, at least 10x and in some cases approaching 1000x, by sensing and exploiting unique aspects of the environment. The second is a new architecture for estimating high dimensional channels by harnessing the expressive power of deep generative networks to develop a custom model of each cell’s channel distribution. The third is a site-specific multicell optimization that rapidly learns near-optimal global settings for each base stations antenna arrays, a problem that is completely intractable using conventional techniques. It is trained and tested on AT&T’s commercial simulation platform and shows large gains over existing 3GPP approaches.

This talk will introduce you to the fascinating geology and history of Sunset Crater, the youngest and best-preserved volcano in Arizona! Sunset Crater erupted only 940 years ago, creating a cinder or scoria cone, and it is one of over 600 short-lived volcanoes in northern Arizona’s San Francisco volcanic field. Its eruption had very significant impacts, both positive and negative, on the northern Sinagua Indigenous people living in its vicinity. Geologist Dr. Jeffrey Meyer will share the story of this eruption and detail his recent work mapping the Bonito lava flow, which came out of the cone’s western base and traveled to the west against an uphill slope. It is unique among lava flows in having traveled uphill, and, as such, can serve as an end-member example of processes that occur in flows on flat terrain. Understanding these processes can help in hazard prediction on earth and in the interpretation of past flows on earth, the moon and other planets. ✿Website: https://naturalhistoryinstitute.org/ ✿Events: https://naturalhistoryinstitute.org/e... ✿Donate: https://naturalhistoryinstitute.org/d... ✿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naturalhistoryinstitute/ ✿Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NaturalHistoryInstitute/ For his PhD work, Dr. Jeffrey Meyer studied a 24-million-year-old super volcano – think Yellowstone, the opposite type of volcano to the young Sunset Crater. For 28 years, he was a community college geology instructor, and always kept active through teaching in the field. Upon retirement, Dr. Meyer and his wife, who is also a geologist, moved to Prescott into a home that her parents built. He has continued to teach geology part-time at Prescott College. While camping at Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument, he noticed and became curious about unusual features of the Bonito flow, a prominent flow from the crater. He located recent Lidar data, and started mapping the flow, first by computer, and later in the field. Dr. Meyer is eager to share his recent research and continue to pursue his love of teaching through this program with the Natural History Institute. This program was made possible by Arizona Humanities and sponsored by Findlay Subaru of Prescott.
