JOSEPH COTRUVO

President of Joseph Cotruvo and Associates
Water, Environment, and Public Health Consultants in Washington, DC

Keynote Speaker, Water Track

Water: Environment and Health (Science and Regulations)
The Clean Water Act (CWA) amendments of 1972 and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) of 1974 et seq have resulted in major improvements in ambient and drinking water quality. The CWA imposed mandates for at least secondary treatment on municipal wastewater treatment plants,  plus Pretreatment requirements, Effluent Guidelines on industrial categories,  and National Pollution  Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits to protect ambient waters.

The SDWA covers about 50,000 Community Water Supplies and 150,000 Public Water Supplies, with more than 300,000,000 regular users.  Systems with 15 connections or 25 persons are included in the federal law, not private wells.  It contains Maximum Contaminant Levels, treatment requirements, and monitoring and reporting requirements.

The SDWA regulations cover virtually all microbial contaminants via E.coli surrogate MCLs filtration and disinfection requirements, all radionuclides, about 90 organic and inorganic chemicals, and disinfection byproducts via THM and HAA surrogates. Waterborne disease outbreaks from sanitary source contamination are consistently being reduced, but legionellosis and outbreaks due to distribution system failures are now the primary waterborne diseases.

The presentation will discuss several current issues including: Legionella and other regrowth microbial issues, Chromium VI, THMs and Bladder Cancer,  Lead in Flint and Newark, Plastic microparticles in water, Perfluorocompounds, Algal toxins, Infrastructure, and Chemicals of Emerging Concern. It will suggest what EPA’s priorities should be to assure public health protection from drinking water problems.

Strategies for Long Life Batteries: Inspiration from Batteries that Power Implantable Medical Devices
Batteries developed for implantable biomedical devices have helped enable the successful deployment of devices for the treatment of human disease. The medical devices are permanently implanted where they can continually monitor a patient and provide therapy as needed. Numerous devices have been developed to treat a diversity of human ailments including neurostimulators, cardiac pacemakers and cardiac defibrillators. While the functional requirements for the batteries used to power these devices vary, there are some characteristics that are demanded by all applications including many years of service, safety during installation and use, predictable performance, and high reliability. 

Society today has significant need for portable power ranging from widely deployed consumer electronics to the expanding use of electric vehicles. While a diversity of battery types is necessary to meet the various needs for portable power, the approaches to extend the service life of batteries can draw inspiration from those used for implantable medical batteries.  Examples of medical batteries and approaches to further extending their service life will be discussed.

BEN SANTER

2019 William Procter Prize for Scientific Achievement Recipient

Plenary Speaker

How a Sentence Changed Climate Science
In November 1995, after three days of deliberations in Madrid’s Palacio de Congresas, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reached the historic finding that “the balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on global climate.” This sentence changed the world. While other individuals and national scientific organizations had reached similar conclusions before Madrid, the “discernible human influence” statement marked the first time the international climate science community had spoken so clearly and forcefully. My talk reflects on some of the scientific and personal lessons I've learned since publication of the IPCC’s 1995 report. Many of these lessons are still relevant today.

Biography

Ben Santer is an atmospheric scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He studies natural and human “fingerprints” in observed climate records. His early research contributed to the historic 1995 conclusion of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: “the balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on global climate.” He served as lead author of a key chapter of that report. Since 1995, Ben has identified human fingerprints in atmospheric temperature and water vapor, ocean heat content, sea surface temperature in hurricane formation regions, and many other climate variables. Read more


ARIANA SUTTON-GRIER

2019 Young Investigator Award Recipient

Plenary Speaker

Coastal Wetland Blue Carbon: The Best Climate Change Solution You Have Never Heard Of?

The call for opportunities to mitigate climate change impacts has become more urgent after the last Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report in 2018. The role of natural ecosystems, including coastal wetlands, in climate solutions is one piece of the climate mitigation puzzle. Yet about ten years ago, almost no one in the climate change policy world was even aware of the important role coastal wetlands play in sequestering carbon. Critical efforts by those at non-profits, government agencies, and in academia have helped to raise awareness about coastal wetlands as carbon sinks.  

This talk will detail some of my efforts as part of the coastal blue carbon community of practice including to raise the awareness about and clarify the state of the science about coastal wetlands as carbon sinks and to include coastal wetlands in policy opportunities where possible.  The good news is that protecting and restoring coastal wetlands has important climate change mitigation benefits and therefore is one critical piece of the puzzle when tackling global climate change.

Biography

Ariana Sutton-Grier is an ecosystem ecologist with expertise in wetland ecology and restoration, biodiversity, biogeochemistry, climate change, and ecosystem services. She is an associate research professor at the University of Maryland in the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center.  She also recently joined the MD/DC chapter of the Nature Conservancy as their Director of Science. Her research interests include the relationships between nature/biodiversity and human health, coastal blue carbon, and natural and nature-based coastal resilience strategies. She gets especially excited about seeking and discovering innovative opportunities to combine science and policy to solve environmental problems and promote ecosystem conservation. Read more

Communication and the Future of Science
Modern science across disciplines is increasingly faced with often controversial public debates surrounding its societal applications. Genetically modified organisms, AI, and human genome editing are just a few recent examples. How do we all form policy stances about emerging technologies we know little about? Why are we as a society sometimes so divided in our interpretations of scientific facts and phenomena? What role do media, especially in online environments, play in this process? And what role can our discipline play in promoting better policy discourse around emerging science?

JOE PALCA

Science Correspondent, National Public Radio

Keynote Speaker

November 16, 2019

Journalism in the Post-Factual World: Is Telling the Truth Enough?

The role of the journalist is to seek out facts, and then share them with readers, listeners, and viewers. There’s a common belief, however, that many people seem indifferent to facts, or if they use them at all to make decisions, they use them selectively. My talk will explore the question of whether this is really happening, and if it is, what can or should journalists do about it. Palca will also present his thoughts about the future of science communication.

Biography
Joe Palca is a science correspondent for NPR. Since joining NPR in 1992, Palca has covered a range of science topics — everything from biomedical research to astronomy.
