- 8:00 AM4h2025 CATIC SymposiumThe racial wealth gap in the United States has witnessed alarming growth in recent years, with BIPOC households now possessing less than 25% of the wealth held by their white counterparts. A substantial portion of this wealth gap can be attributed to disparities in housing. Owning a home remains a principal method for building and transferring wealth, constituting approximately 70% of an individual's net worth. However, challenges such as housing discrimination, restrictive zoning laws, income disparities and lending practices have created barriers to homeownership, particularly for BIPOC individuals and first-time homebuyers. Real estate lawyers and practitioners have a unique opportunity to address this critical issue by creating new pathways to homeownership for increasingly diverse communities. We invite you to join this critical examination of how real estate law plays a pivotal role in the short-term provision of affordable housing to underserved communities and, in the long term, contributes to the wealth accumulation of Black individuals and families.RSVP HERE (https://www.events.foundation.uconn.edu/ereg/index.php?eventid=824898&)!

- 11:00 AM1hMarine Sciences Seminar: Benjamin BarrBenjamin BarrWoods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionSeastate-Dependent Sea Spray Heat Fluxes in Extreme Conditions: Physical Processes, Multiscale Interactions, and New Frontiers for Observations and Modeling Air-sea fluxes of sensible and latent heat are fundamental to the structure and energetics of the air-sea transition zone and marine storm systems in extreme conditions. The contributions of sea spray to high-wind air-sea heat fluxes and corresponding impacts on storm structure and intensity are not well understood due to the difficulty of measuring spray and heat fluxes in high-wind environments and to the challenge of representing complex seastate-dependent spray physics in weather forecast models. Here we present a new parameterization for seastate-dependent air-sea heat fluxes with spray and explore the multiscale interactions that it produces in fully coupled atmosphere-wave-ocean tropical cyclone (TC) simulations. Sea spray generation in the new wave-based parameterization differs from a traditional wind-based approach in terms of both total spray mass flux and the droplet size distribution. Spray heat fluxes from the new model are significant compared to interfacial (bulk) heat fluxes and produce systematic effects on TC structure and intensity. For tropical storms and weak hurricanes, spray evaporation in the atmospheric boundary layer (BL) cools inflow, suppressing eyewall deep convection and causing spray to oppose intensification. Continued intensification enhances spray production under the eyewall, which warms surface air through direct heating by suspended droplets. Eventually, this warming can overwhelm the negative influence of the cooled BL inflow to promote intensification in strong TCs (i.e., Category 4 and 5). Ongoing work includes comparing parameterized heat fluxes to direct covariance sensible and latent heat flux measurements, which suggests the presence of spray in currently available measurements for U10 < 30 m s-1. Future improvement of the model will benefit from ongoing community efforts to make simultaneous observations of waves, spray, and fluxes at the high-wind air-sea interface.Host: Leonel RomeroTime & Date: 11:00 am, Friday, February 7, 2025Place: Lowell Weicker Building, Seminar Room 103 (or Webex)Request Seminar InformationCancellation & Additional Seminar Details (https://marinesciences.uconn.edu/seminar/seminar1253/)If you are an individual with a disability and need accommodations, please contact 860-405-9152 (tel:+18604059152) or email marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu (mailto:marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu).

- 12:30 PM1h 30mSlow Violence in the Southwest: Uncovering the Human Costs of Water Contamination in Tucson's Southside CommunityAbstract The environmental justice movement has long centered the idea that all people regardless of race, class, or ability have the right to a safe and clean environment. Still, millions of people in the United States are exposed to industrial toxicants in invisible, slow-scale exposures that threaten health, safety, and well-being. While the physical health impacts of such exposures are well documented, less is known about the psychological implications, particularly for the low-income communities of color who disproportionately face these issues. In this talk, I will present the results of a program of community-engaged research that uncovers the psychological impacts of this "slow violence" in Tucson, Arizona's southside community. How might water contamination seep into the psyche of exposed communities? And how do these communities build resilience to and organize against environmental injustice? About the SpeakerHarrison Schmitt is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Skidmore College. He earned his PhD in Social Psychology from the University of Arizona. His research employs mixed-methods to understand the psychological implications of social justice issues. Current projects include investigations of how culture and social class shape the experience of financial debt, how environmental justice issues impact mental health, and how policing and incarceration are tied to neoliberal capitalism.

- 2:30 PM1hUConn Physics ColloquiumProf. Victor S. Batista, Department of Chemistry, Yale University and Yale Quantum InstituteSimulating Dynamics on Bosonic Quantum Devices Bosonic quantum devices offer a novel approach to realize quantum computations, where the quantum two-level system (qubit) is replaced with the quantum (an)harmonic oscillator (qumode) as the fundamental building block of the quantum simulator. The simulation of chemical structure and dynamics can then be achieved by representing or mapping the system Hamiltonians in terms of bosonic operators. In this talk, we review recent progress and future potential of using bosonic quantum devices for addressing a wide range of challenging chemical problems, including the calculation of molecular vibronic spectra, the simulation of adiabatic and nonadiabatic chemical dynamics, quantum machine learning applications for characterization of molecular systems, molecular docking of molecular graph theory problems, and the calculations of electronic structure
