Congratulations to all Queen's Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering students who received their Earth Rings! Students are pictured on the front steps of Miller Hall following the awarding ceremony.
Congratulations to the inaugural recipients of I-EDIAA Awards for the 2023 - 2024 academic year. The award recipients are:
Thank you to Dr. Mark Diederichs for sharing these incredible images of the solar eclipse that occurred on Monday, April 8, 2024!
Dr. Jennifer Day gave a virtual research presentation for the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA) on Friday, March 22. The presentation is part of a series called, ARMA Future Leader Webinar Series.
Congratulations to all Queen's Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering students who received their Iron Rings! Students are pictured on the front steps of Bruce Wing following the awarding ceremony.
According to ironring.ca: "[The Iron Ring] was instituted with the simple end of directing newly qualified Canadian engineers toward a consciousness of their profession and its social significance, and indicating to more experienced engineers their responsibilities in welcoming and supporting the newer engineers when they are ready to enter the profession."

Miller Hall, Room 210Talk Title: Multidisciplinary Insights into Human, Carbon, and Climate Dynamics Across Natural and Altered Systems
Date: Friday, March 22
Time: 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Location: Miller Hall, Room 210
Coffee and treats will be served.
Abstract:
Machine learning and geospatial analysis are increasingly being used to understand the complex interactions between the fossil fuel industry, land-water systems, and global carbon cycles. In this presentation, I will explore the application of these methods to a range of challenges, including the assessment of the environmental impacts of the fossil fuel industry, the quantification of carbon fluxes in land-water systems, and the fitting of soil or rock weathering reaction fronts. I will present case studies that demonstrate the potential of these tools for improving our understanding of carbon cycling and informing climate policy. By leveraging large datasets and advanced algorithms, we can gain insights into the spatial and temporal patterns of carbon emissions, and identify strategies for mitigating their impacts on the environment. Ultimately, these tools can help us build more sustainable energy systems and manage our planet's natural resources more effectively.
Bio:
Dr. Tao Wen serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Syracuse University. He embarked on his academic journey in Environmental Sciences, earning his Bachelor's degree from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2011. His quest for knowledge led him to the University of Michigan, where he obtained his Ph.D. in Geology in 2017. Following his doctorate, Dr. Wen honed his research skills as a postdoctoral fellow at Pennsylvania State University from 2017 to 2020. At the heart of Dr. Wen's research lies a deep fascination with the intricate relationships between humanity and the water and carbon cycles. He leads a dynamic research team that employs an integrative approach, combining field investigations, laboratory experiments, and data analytics to explore the complexities of water and carbon cycles within human-impacted and natural environments. Since joining the Syracsue University in 2020, he has designed, built, and directed the Syracuse University Hydrogeochemistry And eNvironmental Data Sciences (HANDS) Research Laboratory.
