Burned Hillslopes + Fire = Mud: An Approach for Assessing Post-wildfire Debris-Flow Hazards
Wed, Oct 11, 2006 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker:Dr. Susan H. Cannon
U.S. Geological Survey
Denver, COAbstract: Debris flows can be one of the most hazardous consequences of rain on recently-burned hillslopes. The deaths of sixteen people during the Christmas Day 2003 storm that impacted recently-burned hillslopes in southern California highlight the most drastic consequences of post-wildfire debris flows. The enhanced occurrence of catastrophic wildfires in the western United States, and the encroachment of development into fire-prone ecosystems, has resulted in the need for tools and methods to identify and quantify the potential hazards posed by debris flows from burned watersheds. In this talk I will describe an approach developed to answer some of the questions fundamental to post-fire debris-flow hazard assessments- what is the process? where might debris flows occur? how big will the event be? and how often will debris flows be produced? Evaluation of the response of basins burned by the fall of October of 2003 fires in southern California to the Christmas Day storm provides valuable information on ways to improve the approach. Biography: Sue Cannon has Masters degrees in geology and civil engineering from the University of Colorado, and a PhD from the University of Colorado. She has been a researcher with the U.S. Geological Survey Landslide Hazards Program since 1990, and has been working on issues dealing with the generation of fire-related debris flows since 1994. Her primary focus is the development of tools and methods for defining fire-related debris-flow hazards, and although she has had research projects in Montana, Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico, her focus is now on southern California. She finds it hard to stay away from a good fire.Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - rielian Hall , Room 203

Scaling Effects on High Strength, High Porosity Nanoporous Metal Foams
Wed, Oct 11, 2006 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
JOINT SEMINAR withThe Mork Family Department of
Chemical Engineering and Materials ScienceAndrea M. Hodge Materials Scientist Nanoscale Synthesis and Characterization Laboratory Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, CA A comprehensive study including nanoindentation, pillar compression tests and MD simulations of nanoporous Au foams will be presented in order to elucidate on the relationship between mechanical properties, relative density and foam ligament size at the nanoscale. Scaling equations for yield strength and Young's Modulus were investigated using 20% to 42% relative density foams with ligament sizes ranging from 10 to 940 nm. Overall, this study demonstrates that, at the nanoscale, the foam strength is no longer governed by the relative density, but rather by the size of the ligaments. Additionally, experimental results show that nanoporous foams present a new type of high strength, low density material.Location: Stauffer Science Lecture Hall (SLH) Rm 100

ISPE: Project Management
Wed, Oct 11, 2006 @ 06:00 PM - 07:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
Brad Lozan from A. D. Brown Corporation, General Engineering Contractors will be coming to present on Project Management.
