Large-Scale Solar from the Developer Perspective, will engage with large-scale or utility-scale solar developers working on projects in Pennsylvania. Topics for this webinar will include challenges that developers are facing. This will include interconnection, supply chain, environmental, and local zoning/siting issues. Workforce development and agrivoltaics will also be discussed.
The free, one-hour webinar will discuss the challenges and issues developers encounter and be beneficial for homeowners, local officials, and business owners.
2023 Women Advancing River Research Seminar Series
Large and Small Scale Controls on Sediment Transport Processes
Rebecca Hodge, Durham University (United Kingdom)
Desiree Tullos, Oregon State University (U.S.)
All seminars will be presented online live at 11:00 a.m. ET on the third Thursday of each month. Seminar recordings will be posted later. Please register in advance for all talks.
Rare earth elements are used in the manufacture of lighter and stronger materials for energy applications such as gas turbines, wind and power systems, defense applications, electronics, and the medical industry. Currently China dominates the global supply of these minerals and obtaining these minerals from primary domestic mineral deposits is crucial for national security. Secondary sources, including byproducts of coal mining and other energy-based waste products, are equally vital to developing a reliable supply chain.
Are you a PI seeking to launch a new research project that is too early or too risky to receive federal support?
The Centre Region Growing Greener Garden Tour is a one-day event designed to showcase habitat-friendly landscaping practices, including an emphasis on native plants, sustainable management, and supporting pollinators and other wildlife. The event, organized in partnership with PNPS, Clearwater Conservancy, Centre Sustains, and PA Master Naturalist, will take place in the yards of four Boalsburg-area residences on Saturday, June 10, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., rain or shine. Registration is required and limited.
Learn about the opportunities that come with pursuing energy efficiency. The speakers will also share how to take advantage of the rebates, grants, and tax incentives that are now available. This is 3rd and final session of the three-part EnergyBiz series designed to help businesses in Centre County get up to speed on solar energy, energy efficiency, and electric vehicles.
Networking & light refreshments at 5 pm.

Water Cooler Talk: Soil Hydrology and Agricultural Resiliency will discuss hydroclimatic threats to agricultural production, principles, mechanisms, and current knowledge on how better soil management can improve resiliency against inconducive weather. Crop access to optimal soil water conditions dictates the success of the agricultural enterprise and other ecosystem services. Climate-smart management practices aimed at improving soil organic carbon have the potential to influence soil water availability and resiliency of agricultural systems.
