Research Gaps In Environmental Life Cycle Assessments Of Lithium Ion Batteries For Grid-Scale Stationary Energy Storage Systems: End-Of-Life Options And Other Issues, Matthew Pellow, Hanjiro Ambrose, Dustin Mulvaney, Rick Betita, Stephanie Shaw
Research Gaps In Environmental Life Cycle Assessments Of Lithium Ion Batteries For Grid-Scale Stationary Energy Storage Systems: End-Of-Life Options And Other Issues, Matthew Pellow, Hanjiro Ambrose, Dustin Mulvaney, Rick Betita, Stephanie Shaw
Faculty Publications, Environmental Studies
Although deployments of grid-scale stationary lithium ion battery energy storage systems are accelerating, the environmental impacts of this new infrastructure class are not well studied. To date, a small literature of environmental life cycle assessments (LCAs) and related studies has examined associated environmental impacts, but they rely on a variety of methods and system boundaries rather than a consistent approach. The large LCA literature of transportation applications of LIB contains selected life-cycle inventory data relevant for stationary ESSs, but does not incorporate characteristics unique to stationary systems, such as balance of system materials; operational profiles; and perhaps even different end-of-life …
Academic Job Tips By Costanza Rampini - Phone Interview, Costanza Rampini
Academic Job Tips By Costanza Rampini - Phone Interview, Costanza Rampini
Faculty Publications, Environmental Studies
If you are on the academic job market, particularly in the fields of environmental studies/geography, I would be happy to share tips and questions from phone and on-campus interviews. I realize that Ph.D. advisors should provide this type of coaching, but they don't always do it...and some haven't been on the job market for a long time. It helps to speak to someone who just went through it...and has fresh notes from it! I was so much more prepared and had much more articulated answers by the time I had my 8th phone interview as compared to my first. Some …
Environmental Studies 129: Water Policy In The Western U.S., Costanza Rampini
Environmental Studies 129: Water Policy In The Western U.S., Costanza Rampini
Faculty Publications, Environmental Studies
Water, or lack of it, is the defining characteristic of development in the Western United States. Using multiple analytical frameworks, including history, law, economics, environmental science, and sociology, we will investigate the interrelationships of key policies, players, and projects involved in Western water. More specifically, we will critically examine how important federal, state, and local water policies arose and how they affect different stakeholder groups (e.g., irrigators, environmentalists, indigenous peoples, the local citizenry, government entities, public water resource agencies). We will also learn about how stakeholder values and corresponding water policies have changed, or failed to change, over time. Case …
Environmental Studies 117: Human Ecology, Costanza Rampini
Environmental Studies 117: Human Ecology, Costanza Rampini
Faculty Publications, Environmental Studies
This is a required course in the major, which covers the diversity and similarity of human adaptation, cultural evolution, cultural change and environmental modification in African, Asiatic, Oceanic and Latin American cultural groups. The emphasis is on traditional non-Western conservation practices and their lessons for the modern-day resource manager. ENVS 117 is a core requirement for majors. Students interested in other cultures and world regions, and in particular international development, will find this course not only interesting, but useful.
Global Climate Change I-Ii, Kendall Barrett Sooter, Dione Rossiter, Costanza Rampini
Global Climate Change I-Ii, Kendall Barrett Sooter, Dione Rossiter, Costanza Rampini
Faculty Publications, Environmental Studies
Many different scientific observations and measurements indicate that Earth is experiencing global-scale changes in climate, i.e., in the long-term distributions of temperature, cloud cover, precipitation, and extreme weather events. Scientific consensus considers most these changes to be caused or accelerated by human activities. The economic, ecological, social, and cultural challenges caused by global climate change will affect everyone on the planet, and are very likely to have disproportionate impacts on developing nations. In this course, we will study global climate change from an interdisciplinary perspective, incorporating natural and social science approaches to understanding processes and effects. We will study the …
Environmental And Climate Justice Along The Brahmaputra River In Northeast India, Costanza Rampini
Environmental And Climate Justice Along The Brahmaputra River In Northeast India, Costanza Rampini
Faculty Publications, Environmental Studies
The glaciers of the Himalayas are the source of all of Asia’s major rivers and are crucial to Asia’s water supply, economies, and livelihoods. The Himalayan region is uniquely vulnerable to the impacts of anthropogenic climate change, while also becoming one of the most dammed regions in the world. This case study explores the unequal distribution of the impacts of climate change and dam building along the Brahmaputra River in Northeast India. It examines how the combined impacts of these two processes negatively affect local communities and explores environmental and climate justice issues. In discussing climate change impacts and hydropower …
