Slip ‘N Slide: Quantifying the effect of pore fluid on landslide travel distance
Abstract
If you had a Slip ‘N Slide toy as a child, it would likely come as no great revelation to you that the presence of water on a slip plane reduces the available frictional resistance and increases landslide travel distance. But how can we quantify how pore pressure affects travel distance? Can it be explained just using effective stress, or is it more complicated? Does that answer depend on whether the debris can generate and maintain excess pore water pressures? In this presentation, we use large-scale flume tests to explore the mechanisms through which pore pressure affects landslide travel distance. Starting with the case of “no pore pressure”, we release progressively larger volumes of dry material from 0.2 m3 to 1 m3 to explore the relationship between landslide volume and runout using high-speed imaging and LIDAR scans of the deposit. This base case is the easiest case to model [monodisperse (single sized) dry granular flows with a large particle size of 3 mm] and defines our friction coefficient. We then increase the degree of difficulty by adding water as a pore fluid into the pore spaces of this same material. How does this relationship change? We then increase the degree of difficulty yet again by switching to a material that has a sufficient particle size distribution to permit the generation of excess pore water pressures on release. At rest, our new widely-graded debris flow material has a coefficient of consolidation that results in excess pore water pressure dissipation in 0.7 seconds. What would happen if the travel time of this material took 7 seconds? Would the pore pressures dissipate during travel? How can we tell? How do we measure pore pressures at the base of a landslide? Join us as we use physical modelling to explore the answers to these questions, which are vitally important to be able to assess whether increased extreme precipitation events associated with climate change may not only make landslides more frequent, but also exhibit heightened mobility and consequences.

lessTitle: Studies on the geochemical behavior of metals at redox interfaces
ABSTRACT
Natural redox boundaries such as hydromorphic soils and aquatic sediments are dynamic environments, with spatial and temporal heterogeneities known to impact the speciation/availability of major and trace elements, and their role as essential nutrients or toxic contaminants.
This seminar will present collaborative field and laboratory studies conducted at the Institute of Mineralogy, Physics of Materials and Cosmochemistry (Sorbonne University), the French Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety, the Department of Environmental Geosciences (University of Vienna), and Argonne National Laboratory. It will address uranium behavior in a uranium mining-impacted wetland; zinc oxide nanoparticles transformation in lacustrine sediments; and iron redox-biogeochemistry in coastal soils located along upland to shoreline gradients. In particular, the power of X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, and electron microscopy techniques for determining elemental speciation and distribution at the atomic and microscopic scales will be highlighted. Combined with additional mineralogical and chemical analyses, this information provides an improved understanding of the (bio)geochemical processes involved in the scavenging and/or mobilization of metals, which is crucial to predict their fate in natural and engineered environments.
BIO
Dr. Lucie Stetten is a researcher at Argonne National Laboratory in the Bioscience Division. She received her PhD in 2018 in Environmental Geochemistry and Mineralogy from Sorbonne University (Paris, France). Her research focuses on the biogeochemical cycles of major and trace elements in aquatic and terrestrial environments. She is particularly interested in the study of abiotic and biotic processes at solid-solution interfaces affecting the fate of contaminants and nutrients. Her research relies on synchrotron-based techniques such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray Fluorescence, as well as Electron Microscopy to determine elemental speciation and distribution at the micro and molecular scales.

lessAccessibility-Based Ethics-Aware Transit Design
Abstract:
We propose a new strategic transit design methodology that places accessibility and equity at the center of the trade-off. By guiding transit design with ethical theories, it promises to improve vertical equity. We consider two ethical principles: the utilitarian principle and John Rawls’s egalitarian principle known as the difference principle. A simple corridor transit design model is developed that differentiates travelers according to their location-based access to opportunities. Its objective is defined by the underlying ethical principle: maximizing the total accessibility for the utilitarian principle and maximizing the accessibility of the most disadvantaged for the difference principle. When transit service is homogeneous everywhere along the corridor, we prove ethical principles make no difference in the optimal design. In response to this finding, spatial supply heterogeneity is introduced into the design models. We then find the egalitarian design has a prominent equity-enhancing effect, whereas the utilitarian design exacerbates inequity, especially when the spatial distribution of opportunities is highly uneven. The results highlight the usefulness of the difference principle, notably its ability to identify the upper limit of equity when the decision is bounded by limited resources or the underlying structure of the problem at hand. However, correcting innate inequality by applying the difference principle entails interventions that not only appear “discriminatory” but also impose a steep price in the form of lost total accessibility - up to 40% in our numerical experiments.

lessTitle: Antibiotic Resistance in the Engineered Water Cycle: Emerging Biotechnologies, Potable Water Reuse, and Surveillance
Abstract: Antibiotic resistance is a biological contaminant of emerging concern and major public health concern that illustrates the One Health approach. Our engineered water systems are not designed to manage antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes found in our waste streams. In fact, our reliance on microbial processes for wastewater treatment may exacerbate the spread of antibiotic resistance. This presentation will focus on the potential role anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) technology could play in reducing antibiotic resistance in the engineered water cycle. Mainstream anaerobic treatment is potentially beneficial due to the lower biomass yields relative to aerobic processes, significantly lessening the largest mass flow of resistance during conventional treatment. Our research evaluates antibiotic resistance and community profiles in the biomass and effluent of AnMBRs, the role membrane fouling plays, and the impact of redox environment on antibiotic resistance fate. Research investigating antibiotic resistance across the world’s largest water purification system for indirect potable reuse will also be presented. Finally, the presentation will discuss recent work in Los Angeles County characterizing resistance in wastewater to a last-resort antibiotic.

He received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Marquette University in 2009. The Smith Research Group explores microbially-driven engineered processes for water management with a focus on resource recovery (e.g., energy, nutrients, and water) from waste streams. We investigate fate of emerging contaminants of concern such as antibiotic resistance, microplastics, and PFAS in engineered systems. The Smith Research Group also employs wastewater surveillance of various biomarkers to monitor community health in LA County and more specifically on the USC campus. We use advanced chemical, molecular, and bioinformatics tools to develop new and emerging biotechnologies to improve our water infrastructure.

lessHigh Performance Is Not High Tech
Abstract
Decades of experience developing cutting-edge, architecturally integrated climate concepts for buildings has shown one consistent lesson: simpler is better. High-tech designs can be realized and achieve great performance, but are generally necessary only in response to specific architectural or programmatic constraints. In most cases, simple, low-tech solutions have the best chance of achieving ambitious performance goals. Olsen will use a variety of case studies from Transsolar’s work around the globe to illustrate this key lesson.

lessA Biorefinery Approach to Transforming Lignin into High-Value Products: Coupling a Microbial Electrolysis Cell and Lignin Depolymerization
Abstract:
Lignin is the largest store of renewable aromatics. Due to its refractory nature, however, its chemical potential is not fully realized. Here, we propose a biorefinery where the treatment of wastewater by a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) produces “clean” water and a caustic catholyte that can depolymerize lignin under mild conditions into two high value product streams. We determine the MEC operating conditions to produce a depolymerization solvent and characterize and quantify solution and colloidal phase products using an array of analytical techniques. In contrast to previous reports of limited high-value-product yields, we obtain and identify 11% of discrete aromatics (monomers and flavonoids) using LC-MSn. We close mass balance by simultaneously producing lignin nanoparticles. In part, our higher product yield is due to selective repolymerization to form flavonoids and nanoparticles. Furthermore, we explore how depolymerization is influenced by lignin source (i.e. herbaceous, softwood, and hardwood) and extraction (i.e. organosolv and klason) to gain insight into ways to tune products. We also explore the effect of salt concentration, salt type, and pH on LNP properties. Both flavonoids and lignin nanoparticles have antioxidant properties and have potential applications in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, personal care, and agricultural industries.
