Hello! Poster Judges are still needed for the OIGP Spring Reception. I know we have asked for judges previously, but we're now getting closer to the Poster Session/Reception and I'm hoping you might have an opening in your calendar. The OIGP Spring Reception is Wednesday, May 3rd, 2023, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the Purdue Memorial Union North and South Ballrooms. Poster Judging is 9:30-11:30 AM on Wednesday, May 3rd. Please let me know if you can agree to judge by Friday, April 28th. If you know of any Post Docs in your area that would be interested in judging, feel free to share this information with them and have them email me! Thank you so much for all that you do!

Today: Sadia A. Jame – PhD Defense Announcement
by Ledman, Amy L 19 Apr '23

Sadia A. Jame – PhD Defense Announcement INFLUENCE OF IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE PRACTICES ON WATER RESOURCES Major Professor: Laura Bowling Wednesday, April 19, 2023, at 1:30-2:30 PM Lilly Hall of Life Sciences, Room 2425 or via Zoom<https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/4382088668?pwd=dlBGWVVNaUF3VlhtTVpyODc4ajM3dz09> Ecological Sciences and Engineering Interdisciplinary Graduate Program Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering Abstract: Climate change, misallocations, and overuse have resulted in water stress, a condition where available water resources are not enough to meet needs, in many parts of the US. At the same time, increasing seasonal precipitation, and more intensive management practices mean subsurface drainage is expanding in the Midwest, changing the hydrologic balance of river basins. In this work, watershed-scale measures of surface water and groundwater stress were calculated to explore the spatial and temporal variability of stress in the US. In much of the Western US, which has been in a water stress situation for 35 years (1985-2015), both groundwater stress and surface water stress are continuing to rise. Groundwater doctrines such as absolute ownership, correlative rights, and reasonable use encourage groundwater withdrawals during times of stress. The fraction of irrigation coming from groundwater is growing, suggesting a potential shift in the preferred water source. Subsurface drainage is a common practice across vast areas of the US Corn Belt. Subsurface drainage can provide a better crop-growing environment. However, by lowering the water table, drainage can reduce groundwater recharge. To better understand the mechanism of how agricultural drainage practices influence aquifer recharge, the VIC model was utilized to represent subsurface drainage and groundwater storage in the Upper Wabash River basin. When using controlled drainage, recharge rates increased compared to free drainage. The mean annual difference between free drainage and controlled drainage was 16 mm/year for the 30-year study period (1983 to 2012).

Sharon Hughes - PhD Defense Announcement

Sharon Hughes - PhD Defense Announcement Novel Framework, Life Cycle Assessment, and Techno-Economic Assessment for Cost-Effective Biorefineries Major Professor: Zhi George Zhou and John Sutherland Tuesday, APRIL 11, 2023 11:15 AM in WALC 2121 & ZOOM<https://tinyurl.com/Zhou-Zoom> Ecological Sciences and Engineering Interdisciplinary Graduate Program Division of Environmental Ecological Engineering Abstract: With 30% of carbon emissions in 2022, the transportation sector was the largest contributor of carbon emission in the U.S. Although many efforts have been made to examine carbon emission reduction with electric vehicles, information on the potential of significant reduction of carbon emission with carbon-negative biofuels is limited. The objective of this study is to systematically evaluate carbon efficiency and cost-effectiveness of biofuels. A new framework was proposed to support circular economy. Life cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis were conducted on biorefineries. The results indicated that make the biofuels should be considered as serious horses in this race to achieve carbon-neutral by 2050.
