Snowpack properties modeled with #SNTHERM by EES Faculty

Coauthored by Reza Khanbilvardi of City College in Geosciences Evaluation of the Snow Thermal Model (SNTHERM) through Continuous in situ Observations of Snow’s Physical Properties at the CREST-SAFE Field Experiment Abstract Snowpack properties like temperature or density are the result of a complex energy and mass balance process in the snowpack that varies temporally and spatially. The Snow Thermal Model (SNTHERM) is a 1-dimensional model, energy and mass balance-driven, that simulates these properties. This article analyzes the simulated snowpack properties using SNTHERM forced with two datasets, namely measured meteorological data at the Cooperative Remote Sensing Science and Technology-Snow Analysis and Field …

Prof. Fred Moshary: Application of a broadly tunable SG-DBR QCL for multi-species trace gas spectroscopy

Coauthored by Professor Fred Moshary of City College Application of a broadly tunable SG-DBR QCL for multi-species trace gas spectroscopy in Optics Express Feasibility of using a mid-Infrared tunable sampled-grating distributed Bragg reflectors quantum cascade laser for high resolution multicomponent trace gas spectroscopy is demonstrated. By controlling the driving currents to the front and back sections of the laser, we were able to tune a pulsed 4.55 µm laser over a frequency range a of 30 cm−1 with high resolution, accuracy and repeatability. The laser was applied to absorption spectroscopy of ambient and reduced pressure (150 Torr) air in a …

Prof Sharon Zukin: The omnivore’s neighborhood? Online restaurant reviews, race, and gentrification

Prof Sharon Zukin has first authored a new publication in the Journal of Consumer Culture.  Check it out below! The omnivore’s neighborhood? Online restaurant reviews, race, and gentrification S Zukin, S Lindeman, L Hurson – Journal of Consumer Culture, 2015 Abstract Social media users who post restaurant reviews on the website Yelp.com act as both prosumers or produsers and ‘‘discursive investors’’ in gentrification. Their unpaid online reviews create cultural and financial value for individual restaurants and also construct a positive or negative image of their locations that may lead to economic investment. Moreover, Yelp reviewers show marked preferences in terms …
