Breathing Rocks: The Role of Microbes in Iron Geochemistry
Fri, Oct 26, 2007 @ 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker:Everett Salas,
Advanced Ph.D. Candidate,
Geobiology, USCIron is one of the most geochemically important elements on the Earth's surface, making up almost 5 weight percent of most sedimentary environments. Iron can exist in redox states that allow it to transform easily under conditions found in natural sedmimentary and aquatic environments. Iron (hydr)oxides are improtant sorbents of trace metals usch as Al, Cd, Co, Pb, Zn, As and U. As such, any changes in the state of iron oxides in soils can have a major impact on the mobility of these trace metals, many of which are considered to be pollutants. Microbes are known to play an important role in the redox cycling of iron. Undertanding the extent to which microbial iron reduction dissolves or produces minerals that are able to immobilize these metals can provide further insight into the impact that iron reducers may have in contaiminated subsurface environments.Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - rielian Hall, Room 209

Overview of SIGINT Operations and Research Opportunities
Fri, Oct 26, 2007 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Bill NeadAbstract:
The main purpose of this talk is to optimize university research and assist with establishing an academic outreach program to best support the warfighters' needs on preparing the Battlespace, Multi-INT collection management, processing techniques, and reporting. Visit introduction will include a detailed overview of the Intelligence Community as it relates to Multi-INT operations and how SIGINT Operations play a critical role.Speaker Bio:
Mr. Bill Nead is Chief Scientist for the Signals Intelligence Systems Acquisition and Operations (SIGINT) Directorate at the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) located at Chantilly, Virginia where the NRO develops and operates unique and innovative space reconnaissance systems and conducts related activities essential for U.S. national security. The SIGINT Directorate provides full life-cycle acquisition and operations support for all overhead SIGINT systems. As Chief Scientist, he is responsible for identifying and implementing new and future technologies, architectures, and algorithms and their application to a national intelligence system that improves Global Situational Awareness and providing intelligence on timelines responsive to user needs.
