NIU STEM Cafe Feb.11, Swarming Robots, Two Brothers Roundhouse
Just a quick reminder. Please join us at our next STEM Café, Swarming Robots, on February 11, Tuesday, at the Two Brothers Roundhouse in Aurora from 6:30 to 8:30 PM.
What can we learn from bird flocks and fish schools to mitigate crowd disasters? How can we program robots to work together so one person controls an entire swarm of them? Researchers are studying the collective behaviors of fish, birds and swarming insects to answer questions like these. You may never think of a flock of birds in quite the same way again!
Learn more from NIU Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Sachit Butail.
Our March STEM Café, Earthquakes and Fracking on March 18, Wednesday, will be held at the Fireside Grille in Sugar Grove.
At least 26 minor earthquakes have rattled northern Illinois in the past 100 years, and in recent years Oklahoma has experienced more “felt” earthquakes (magnitude 3 or higher) than California. Where are faults located in the northern Illinois region, and what unmapped faults might be active here? How are human activities, such as fracking and wastewater disposal, triggering earthquakes in the central and eastern U.S.?
Join us for an earth-shaking discussion of seismic activity with NIU Geology professors Philip Carpenter and Megan Brown.
See you there!

Pennsylvania Carbonate Critical Zone Field Workshop
The Carbonate Critical Zone Research Coordination Network (CZ-RCN) is accepting applications to participate in the Pennsylvania Field Workshop which will be held August 2-5, 2020 at Temple University in Philadelphia with a field trip to Central PA. During the field trip we will examine recent and historic monitoring in the well-known karst springs described in Shuster and White (1971) and visit with researchers at the Shale Hills CZ Observatory (your old stomping grounds!). During the field trip and after we will provide training on new data logging techniques.
The workshop has several goals. We will examine how increasing carbonate mineral content impacts CZ processes, up to and including pure carbonate CZs. This review will identify information gaps and available data and tools to define and address relevant research questions. The workshop is also expected to build consensus on future research needs.
We anticipate approximately 40 participants in the workshop, although the final number will depend on availability of funding. Participant support will be distributed to ensure a diverse range of disciplines, topics of interest, career stage and demographics. If you are interested in attending, please complete this application form.
You can look at a more detailed description of the workshop and field trip on our website
