Sponsored by PPG Industries, the 11th Annual Elevator Pitch Competition is an opportunity to pitch your research in TWO minutes or less, using no more than four supporting slides. Graduate students will briefly convey their research to a curious and technically diverse audience in hopes of taking home CASH PRIZES and developing new COLLABORATIONS.Tuesday, May 6th9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. - Contestants Make their Pitch to Judges11:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. - Top Five Pitches Present Live
Penn State Extension, the Master Well Owner Network, and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection along with numerous other sponsors and partners are pleased to announce the 2025 Pennsylvania Groundwater Symposium will take place Wednesday, May 7 in Harrisburg. The PA Groundwater Symposium is a forum where researchers, students, professionals and educators working in the groundwater field exchange information and promote protection of groundwater resources throughout the state.
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.

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.
The two-day Penn State Climate Solutions Symposium highlights innovations from numerous disciplines through dynamic breakout sessions, keynote talks from leaders in the climate solutions space, a poster session, and more. The event also features opportunities for attendees to network with like-minded individuals who are seeking climate solutions as collaborators, funders, or implementers in the themes of the Climate Consortium.
