Epsilon Innovation Group has won DoE SBIR to design a Floating Solar-Powered Aeration System for Aquaculture

Epsilon Innovation Group has won the highly competitive Department of Energy�s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) to design a Floating Solar-Powered Aeration System for Aquaculture. Using the funding, Epsilon Innovation Group�s team is developing a self-sufficient, small-scale, floating solar aeration system coupled with energy storage that improves water quality and protects underwater organisms and habitats. This technology will supply dissolved oxygen to maintain fish and pond health. The technology could further be used for wastewater treatment and electricity production and reduce water evaporation in lakes and dams.

Epsilon Innovation Group is now a memeber of the Climate Technology Center and Network (CTCN)

The CTCN is the operational arm of the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism, which promotes the accelerated transfer of environmentally sound technologies for low carbon and climate resilient development in developing countries.

Safety and Reliability of Complex Engineered Systems: ESREL 2015 Proceeings Now Available

The Safety and Reliability of Complex Engineered Systems proceedings of the 25th European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL 2015), held 7-10 September 2015 in Zurich, Switzerland, containes about 570 papers accepted for presentation at the conference. These contributions focus on theories and methods in the area of risk, safety and reliability, and their applications to a wide range of industrial, civil and social sectors. Dr. Gilu's paper titled "Water supply investment decision-making under climate change variability � New York City case study", is now available in the proceedings book.

No Slowdown in Global Warming

The latest corrected analysis shows that the rate of global warming has continued, and there has not been slow down. Using the latest global surface temperature data, a team of scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) and National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) published their findings on June 4, 2015 on the journal of sciences.

Dr. Gilau to Present a Paper on Climate Change and Critical Infrastructure at ESREL Conference

Dr. Gilau will be presenting a paper titled Water supply investment decision-making under climate change variability New York City case study at the annual European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL) to be held in Zurich, Switzerland from 7-10, September 2015 (ESREL 2015). The case study, which is being developed using the publicly available data, provides an insight on how water conservation measures could sustentailly help mega cities like NY to meet their water demand and maintain their resilience to droughts. Dr. Gilaus presentation will be in climate change and critical infrastructure thematic area.

Global Energy Assessment (GEA) Report Launched

Dr. Gilau has served as a member of the worlds leading innovative energy experts in research, academia, business, industry and policy during the preparation of the Global Energy Assessment (GEA), launched in 2012 at the Rio+20 summit. The study was coordinated by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Laxenburg, Austria. Dr. Gilau is one of the lead authors in Chapter 6: Energy and Economy of the GEA report.

The report is available at the IIASA website and is highly recommended to acquire it for your self and institution.
