About AquaHacking

Ìýis a multi-stage hackathon with a focus on developing functional, marketable innovations to address Lake Erie’s water issues. Students with a passion for water, hackers, engineers, and other creative minds are invited to work together in teams over a 10 week periodÌýto develop technology that will positively impact Lake Erie.

As part of the Water Institute'sÌýWaterTalks lecture series, Jeremy Schmidt, lecturer of Human Geography at Durham University, United Kingdom, presents "Water: Abundance, Scarcity, and Security in the Age of Humanity."

The 12th Hydrocarbon Summit: Transport, Fate and Remediation of Hydrocarbons in the Subsurface, will take place Wednesday, April 19 and Thursday, April 20, 2017, at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ.

Session topics include:

• Sustainable water and residual hydrocarbons
• Addressing challenges with the detection of PFAS degradation products
• Dual oxidant system for in situ treatment of organic contaminants

• Carbon based injectates for the remediation of petroleum hydrocarbons in groundwater

Hosted by the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, the 2017 Adrian Smith Lecture will feature professor Alfonso Mucci from the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at McGill University. He will be presenting, "Development of hypoxic and acidified bottom waters in the Lower St. Lawrence Estuary and its impact on sediment biogeochemistry."

Date: April 20, 2:00 p.m.
Location: EIT 1015
