Energy Engineering Seminar: Steve Grodsky, Cornell University

Thursday, February 24, 2022 at 12:25pm to 1:15pm

Kimball Hall, B11

Renewable Energy Ecology:  Sustainable Solutions for the Energy Transition --

 

Renewable energy facilitates emission reductions, but its deployment also presents challenges. Although the need for renewable energy deployment is apparent, pathways to achieving a transition to renewable energy remain unclear. Renewable energy ecology informs sustainable energy production by addressing effects of renewable energy development as an anthropogenic disturbance and driver of land-use change on ecosystems and their services. In this seminar, we will explore renewable energy ecology and its diverse interconnections with engineering to elucidate holistic, interdisciplinary approaches to promoting a sustainable and just energy transition. 

 

Bio: Dr. Steve Grodsky is a broadly trained, applied ecologist. He specializes in the emerging field of renewable energy ecology - the study of interactions among energy development, ecosystems, and people. He is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment and Assistant Unit Leader of the U.S. Geological Survey New York Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at Cornell University.
