Seminar: Designing More Resilient Coastal Communities
POST 723 1680 East-West Road, Honolulu, HI, United StatesMichael Bruno Professor, ORE, UH Mānoa *In-person ONLY (POST 723)* request Zoom Link here for extenuating circumstances by Wednesday (10/07) @ 11:59 pm HST* The earth’s population has become increasingly urban in character, with the number of megacities more than quadrupling to 44 over the past 30 years. A majority (2/3) of these cities are located on the coastal ocean, meaning that a growing share of the world’s population lives in harm’s way due to the risks associated with coastal storms and flooding. These risks have been significantly magnified by climate change. This presentation will discuss the implications of human

Seminar: Booms, Blasts, and Moon Dust: From Earth’s Atmosphere to the Lunar Surface
POST 723 1680 East-West Road, Honolulu, HI, United StatesDr. Carly Donahue Senior Scientist Los Alamos National Laboratory/Earth and Environmental Sciences *In-person ONLY (POST 723)* request Zoom Link here for extenuating circumstances by Friday (10/09) @ 11:59 pm HST* Space exploration generates powerful physical phenomena—from the violent plume-surface interactions of lunar landings to the fiery dynamics of atmospheric re-entry—that pose hazards demanding novel sensing approaches to detect and understand them. This talk connects three projects that leverage these effects: distributed fiber optic sensing of explosion and rocket-launch experiments to investigate lunar plume–surface hazards; real-time observation of a Falcon 9 lunar impact using Chile's Very Large Telescope; and detection of
