DESCRIPTION:Professor Lynn Katz is the Hussein M Alharthy Centennial Chair in Civil Engineering and Director of the Center for Water and the Environment at the University of Texas at Austin. \nDr. Katz has over thirty years of experience examining the application of aquatic surface chemistry to understanding the fate and transport of contaminants in the environment and toward the development of treatment technologies for contaminated water and soil. Her current research has a strong focus on improving water treatment for underserved communities. As a faculty member at the University of Texas\, she has served as Chair of the Engineering Faculty Women’s Organization\, Chair of the Faculty Womens’ Organization\, co-chair of the University Faculty Gender Equity Council\, Associate Chair of the Department of Civil\, Architectural and Environmental Engineering and Chair of the Cockrell School of Engineering Faculty Promotion and Review Committee. \nLecture Title: Translating Molecular Science to Practical Application in Natural Systems and Engineered Processes\nEnvironmental contamination from anthropogenic activities is often defined by the presence of either legacy or emerging contaminants.  Superfund sites associated with legacy contaminants were the focus of environmental remediation activities in the twentieth century.  Now\, “emerging contaminants” have captured the focus of the environmental community.  However the distinction between legacy and merging contaminants is often blurred\, especially for metals and metalloids\, because once these species enter the environment\, they cannot be destroyed and often re-emerge.  The unique properties of elements such as Pb\, Hg\, Ra\, Cd\, Zn\, Cr\, As\, Se\, B\, Li and rare earth elements make them valuable economic resources; demand is growing rapidly and will continue to grow throughout the world.  Their toxicity\, fate and transport depend on their concentration and speciation.  The context specific nature of metal ion contamination can also be viewed from an evolutionary perspective. While emerging organic contaminants often derive from the synthesis of novel compounds that provide unique marketable properties\, emerging inorganic contaminants often arise from natural resource extraction that yields environmental concentrations above their natural cycles established during evolutionary timeframes. The inability of ecosystems and humans to rapidly adapt to these increased concentrations suggests that caution is needed whenever new elements or higher concentrations of more common metals are introduced or re-introduced into the environment\, especially when they are combined with other elements that alter their speciation\, electronic structure\, or bioavailability. \nSignificant advances have been made over the past few decades\, toward understanding the complex reaction chemistry that controls speciation and ultimately dictates potential treatment and remediation options. Advanced spectroscopic\, computational and molecular level tools have been key to identifying speciation and quantifying thermodynamic and kinetic processes. Using tools such as x-ray and vibrational spectroscopy\, the structure of ions and interfacial water at interfaces has been revealed. Computational tools have provided validation of molecular structures observed via spectroscopy\, confirmed the presence of complexes and ion-pairs at surfaces and within pores\, and allowed quantification of thermodynamic parameters of processes such as sorption and precipitation. The translation of these results to predict contaminant fate and transport in natural systems has relied on macroscopic or thermodynamic based models such as surface complexation models for oxide minerals or the Donnan-Manning model for membrane systems. The continual refinement of these models is often guided by molecular level insights that provide more accurate descriptions of sorption\, ion exchange and precipitation processes and more detailed descriptions of the electrical double layers present at charged interfaces. In this seminar\, we will explore several examples in which molecular level insights from spectroscopic and/or computational studies have been used to guide modeling of metal ion sorption in water treatment processes\, predict ion-pairing in membrane systems\, and describe metal(oid) processes in contaminated sediments in mining impacted lakes. Through these examples\, we will demonstrate how increased understanding at the molecular level can guide contaminant remediation and treatment options. \nTalk: 9:30-10:30 \nReception: 10:30 – 11:30

SUMMARY:Water@UW-Madison Spring Symposium
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nWater@UW-Madison will host their annual Spring Symposium on Monday\, May 5\, 2025 from 2-5 pm. The Symposium theme is The Art of Water Research. \nThere are many definitions of art\, all of which are intended and represented in the theme of this year’s Water@UW symposium  These definitions include but are not limited to “a branch of learning\,” “skill acquired through practice or study\,” and “works produced by human creative skill and imagination appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.”\n\nThis event will span the broad scope of work happening within the Water@UW network with the goal to highlight the commonalities in process\, thought\, and beauty of results across disciplines of water research. Presenters who wish to go beyond traditional talk formats to convey the art of their process (how they do water research) and the art of their results (where is the beauty in their work) will be welcomed and encouraged.\n\nWe aim for the event to inspire creativity\, reveal new perspectives or interpretations of results\, and promote an appreciation of the beauty in both water and water research. Through keynotes\, lightning presentations\, and structured networking time\, this event will bring together members of the Water@UW community and beyond and provide opportunities to draw inspiration from the creative approaches each of us bring to our science and art.\n\nRegister Now!
