1 Day event in hybrid mode at the NSS-MIC RTSD 2024 in Tampa
While there are undoubtedly natural forces at work that contribute to the changing climate, there is no doubt now that we humans are accelerating these changes by releasing excessive amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This induces a steady increase of the planet’s temperature. Before we can reverse this trend, slowing its growth is the first goal. For this to happen there must be a massive change in the human behaviour, including the use of energy sources that do not exhaust carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. Among these are the new generation of nuclear and plasma technical solutions for energy, but also for environmental monitoring, energy storage, waste management, simulations, sustainable societal challenges in medicine and more. NPSS created an initiative to explore these possible contributions.
Workshop Structure
The workshop will span over 1 days divided into four sessions:
- Understanding Climate Change:
An introductory session covering the basics of climate change and its impact. - Science and Applications of Nuclear Fusion and Nuclear Fission:
to expose participants to the science and application of nuclear technology and the key role they could play for energy sustainability, together with action plans to identify opportunities for collective action with other communities. - Science and Applications of Plasma and Accelerators technologies and solutions:
to discuss with participants the science and applicazion of plasma science and accelerators technologies and their applications to energy and society, together with action plans to identify opportunities for collective action with other communities. - Science and Applications of Ultra Low Power Electronics, Big Data and Simulation:
to identify how low power electronics could change the IoT and remote monitoring and how big data and simulation could help defining future strategies in Climate Monitoring and Adaptation.
