SUMMARY:Barbara Jacak (LBNL/UCB) "The Mysteries of QCD Matter - Hot and Cold"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nQCD predicts a phase transition to quark gluon plasma. This plasma is now produced regularly in collisions of heavy nuclei at both RHIC and the LHC\, and it exhibits remarkable properties. Its vanishingly small shear viscosity to entropy density ratio means that it flows essentially without internal friction\, making it one of the most “perfect” liquids known. Quark gluon plasma is also very opaque to transiting strongly interacting particles. Determining the transport properties of quark gluon plasma is a key goal of current research\, and jets of hadrons offer a promising probe. Howevere\, it remains a mystery how this plasma emerges from cold\, dense gluonic matter deep inside nuclei within 1 fm/c. Furthermore\, properties of the cold QCD matter deep inside nuclei are unknown. I will discuss how a future electron-ion collider can help address these questions.

SUMMARY:Bruno Lenzi (IRFU\, Saclay France)"Recent results of the CMS experiment at LHC"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe CMS experiment has analyzed up to 140 fb-1 of pp collisions delivered by the LHC at 13 TeV. This data has allowed for improved precision in several aspects of Higgs-boson and electroweak physics and pushed the frontiers on searches for new resonances\, long-lived particles and other phenomena. I will highlight some of the recent CMS results and prospects for the High-Luminosity running phase.

SUMMARY:Susan Hubbard (ESA\, LBNL) "Imaging Watershed Behavior &  Overview of the Earth and Environmental Sciences Area"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: \nQuantifying how terrestrial systems respond to climate change and other perturbations is challenging due to the complexity of associated processes that occur from bedrock-to-canopy and from genome to watershed scales. This presentation will describe the development of several new approaches to help bridge these compartments and scales through integrating disparate geophysical\, hydrological\, geochemical and microbial datasets. A brief overview of the Earth and Environmental Sciences Area will first be provided to motivate the technical presentation. The presentation will subsequently describe the use of new geophysical characterization approaches in an Arctic tundra ecosystem\, where increasing temperatures are thawing the permafrost\, potentially leading to significantly increased production of greenhouse gasses. The development and testing of new methods to quantify the structure and function of a mountainous watershed in the Upper Colorado River Basin\, where droughts and early snowmelt may influence downgradient water availability and water quality\, will then be presented. The recent advances are leading to insights about how these systems function and respond to perturbations – from local scales where native processes occur toward watershed scales that are relevant for managing natural resources.
