02 Sep '25

Hello Everyone. I hope the start of this Fall has gone well—students are back and the energy is on campus! I have attached all the artifacts from our retreat session (i.e., Top 5s, Strategic Planning, and the Slide deck). I wanted to make sure to get these to you. Thank you so much for your input and engagement during the retreat session! I am working with departmental leadership, committees, and campus partners (e.g., HR and Advising) to work on plans and deliverables for this year. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions and/or comments. Looking forward to being engaged with CCE throughout this year! Regards, Jason “Fitz” FitzSimmons, PhD, PMP Strategic Initiatives Manager and Consultant Purdue University “When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun.

[Cce-all-list] Bridging Pore and Grain-Scale Physics to the Changing Cryosphere
by Roberta Lynn Vance 29 Aug '25

29 Aug '25

This topic may be of interest to many different areas. Please see our next week's seminar information and join us. Our speaker is new to Purdue's CCE faculty and would like to meet you. Hydraulics & Hydrology Fall 2025 Seminar Series Bridging Pore and Grain-Scale Physics to the Changing Cryosphere Dr. Yue (Olivia) Meng Assistant Professor, Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering Tuesday, September 02, 3:30 PM HAMP 1113 Abstract The Greenland Ice Sheet has become the largest single source of barystatic sea-level rise in the cryosphere. Numerical models are the best tools to make projections of the future of the ice sheet. However, predicting how fast the ice sheet flows, and when does calving occur at glacier margins has proven to be challenging, primarily because of (1) the limited knowledge of the fate of meltwater in the hydrologic system and (2) the poor representation of ice-ocean interactions. In this talk, I will showcase the development of two process-based models for englacial hydrology and ice-ocean interactions, through interdisciplinary lens of porous media flows, granular mechanics, and remote sensing observations. My poromechanical model reveals that surface-to-bed hydrofracture will not occur in ice slab regions until all pore space proximal to the initial flaw has been filled with solid ice. My discrete element model quantifies the seasonal mélange buttressing force that coincides with observed calving dynamics. I will discuss my future research combining modeling, experimenting, machine learning, and remote sensing techniques to bridge pore and grain-scale physics to the changing cryosphere. Biographical sketch [cid:image003.png@01DC18E0.909A6250]Yue (Olivia) Meng is currently an assistant professor in Department of Civil Engineering at Purdue University. She was a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Geophysics at Stanford University and Princeton University. She obtained her Ph.D. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT in 2022 under the supervision of Professor Ruben Juanes. Her Ph.D. work focused on developing experimental, numerical and mathematical models to understand interactions between multiphase flow and granular mechanics, with application in geological carbon sequestration and methane hydrates. During her postdoc, she has been collaborating with climate scientists, physicists, and computer scientists to develop process-based models for calving at tidewater glaciers. She is broadly interested in soft earth geophysics with a current focus on the hydrology of ice sheets and ice-ocean interactions.
