Penn State Energy and Environment Calendar

ICDS is hosting a satellite site for the two-day Machine Learning and Big Data workshop provided through the HPC monthly workshop series by Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC). This workshop will focus on topics including deep learning using Tensorflow and big data analytics and machine learning with Spark. This is an in-person event, and there is no direct-to-desktop option.

Discover how blockchain technology could strengthen your farm or agribusiness in this month's Harvesting Innovation webinar. An expert panel will introduce blockchain for business use, share lessons from an on-farm project, and discuss findings from a recent technology needs assessment. Participants will hear directly from a farmer preparing for increased automation and explore how blockchain applies to agriculture beyond cryptocurrency. Stay online after the webinar for a facilitated discussion on challenges, opportunities, and ideas to guide future research and collaboration.

Market Investments and the Forest Economy, brings together leading experts to explore the challenges facing today’s forest industries, assess the cost-effectiveness of carbon-focused forest management, and examine how public perception influences carbon offset pricing. The session will also provide a broad look at how carbon credits are shaping natural climate solutions and strengthening the forest economy.

Extreme hydrologic events, such as floods and droughts, are becoming ever more common as hydrometeorological drivers shift in response to a changing climate. In the first part of this talk, we outline how climate change affects extreme events in both water quantity and quality, specifically floods, droughts, and extreme water temperatures. In the second part of this talk, we will discuss the effects of such extreme events on water quality. Our capacity to monitor and predict the effects of hydrologic extremes on water quality is closely tied to the resolution of our observational datasets.

PERC, in cooperation with Penn State Sustainability, is hosting this one-day conference event at the Eric J. Barron Innovation Hub in State College, PA. Today, we recognize Pennsylvania's role in working to meet our country's NDC, among other commitments, and the function HEIs serve in supporting that endeavor. With over 60 Commonwealth institutions' sustainability leaders invited, PERC looks forward to providing a day of sustainability programming via speaker presentations, a workshop session, and guest keynote speaker. 

To enhance synergy within the community and build toward a strong future in 2D crystal science and technology, the Center for 2D and Layered Materials and the 2D Crystal Consortium at Penn State, will be hosting the 12th annual “Graphene and Beyond: From Atoms to Applications Workshop.”

industryXchange 2025: Energy brings together industry, Penn State faculty, and graduate students to jointly explore collaboration opportunities for research and student engagement. Since the inception of industryXchange in 2017, initial collaborations fostered at the annual event have spurred several sponsored research agreements between the University, industry, and governmental partners, as well as industry support to federal awards.

Join the Penn State Computed Tomography (CT) Users Group, hosted by the Center for Quantitative Imaging (CQI). This group is open to faculty, students, and researchers across all Penn State campuses who are interested in harnessing the power of computed tomography for their work. All experience levels are welcome, from novice to expert.The users group meets on the third Wednesday of the month.What is Computed Tomography?

Penn State will host the 20th North American Mine Ventilation Symposium (NAMVS) in collaboration with the Society of Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration (SME) and the SME Underground Ventilation Committee (UVC) on June 21–26 in Pittsburgh.

Plant specialized metabolites are chemically diverse molecules that play a broad range of critical roles in plant health and reproduction. These molecules also support human and veterinary health and nutrition, and are foundational to ecological interactions between animals, microorganisms, and plants.
