Penn State Energy and Environment Calendar

Pennsylvania is home to six major watersheds, each playing a vital role in the health of our environment. But do you know where your water goes? In this engaging webinar, you'll learn essential watershed terms and explore user-friendly online mapping tools that reveal how water moves across property lines and landscapes. Discover how everyday land use decisions impact water quality and gain practical insights to help you better understand and manage local water resources.Who is this for?

Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences is hosting the second annual Technologies for Agriculture and Living Systems Symposium at the University Park campus on June 12-13, 2025. The theme of this year's symposium is "Closing the Innovation Gaps Between Discovery and Delivery," with an aim to bring partners across academia, government, industry, and other stakeholders together to help us refine our understanding of opportunities and challenges along the technology pipeline from discovery to delivery.

Discover how artificial intelligence is transforming calf care in this month's Harvesting Innovation webinar, Artificial Intelligence Meets Animal Welfare. This session will explore how precision technologies can detect subtle behavior changes in group-housed dairy calves—often days before visible symptoms of illness appear. Learn how these early warning systems support timely identification of conditions such as pneumonia and diarrhea, reduce antibiotic use, and enhance on-farm decision-making.

"Using microCT to examine pipeline degradation in extreme environments"Presenter: Dr. Derek M. HallAssistant Professor of Mechanical EngineeringFaculty Member of the Institute of Energy and the EnvironmentJoin 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.

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.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) pose serious risks to environmental, human, and animal health—and they're not just a Great Lakes issue. In Pennsylvania, these blooms are most often linked to the rapid growth of cyanobacteria, naturally occurring organisms that can release dangerous toxins when conditions such as excess nutrients align. During this Water Cooler Talk, explore the science behind HABs, their impact on health, and the role of nutrient pollution in bloom formation.

Large-scale solar development often raises important questions for local municipalities, particularly regarding potential economic impacts. This session will feature insights from the Assessors Association of Pennsylvania, offering guidance on considerations and possible approaches to taxing large-scale solar systems. Additionally, experienced assessors will share their expertise on how solar arrays may affect local property values, providing real-world perspectives on valuation impacts.
