SEES Seminar: Remote Sensing of Water and Vegetation Dynamics in Changing Landscapes - From Croplands to Disturbed Ecosystems

Tue, 3 Nov 2026 21:27:48 +0000

Land use change, climate variability, management, and human disturbance are changing how water and energy move between the land and the atmosphere. This talk shows how satellite remote sensing, combined with field observations and physically based models, can track these dynamics across managed and natural landscapes. It presents field-scale evaportranspiration frameworks for irrigated croplands in the U.S. and Peru. It also covers vegetation and water responses to energy development. The talk closes with opportunities and challenges for agricultural water management and ecosystem resilience.
Dr. Nishan Bhattarai is an assistant professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Sustainability at the University of Oklahoma, where he leads the Agro-Eco-Hydrological Remote Sensing Lab. He is a remote sensing scientist and hydrologist who uses satellite observations, field measurements, and models to study how water and vegetation respond to climate variability, land use change, and human disturbance. His research covers crop water use and evaportranspiration in croplands, as well as ecosystem responses to environmental changes. His work has been published in Science Advances and Nature Communications and featured in the New York Times. Learn more at https://sites.google.com/view/nishanbh/home.

Leading Above the Noise

Thu, 6 Aug 2026 20:59:56 +0000

As reported by the website, tech21century.com: “Through mobile phones, online entertainment services, the Internet, electronic mail, television, radio, newspapers, books, social media etc. people receive every day about 105,000 words or 23 words per second in half a day (12 hours) (during awake hours). According to…researchers, the main effect of information overload is that the human attention to focus is continually hampered and interrupted all too often, which does not help in the process of reflection and deeper thinking.”

It’s not that things are changing, it’s that things are changing faster and faster. The increasing velocity of change creates new and ever-greater challenges.

If your inbox is overwhelming, your to-do list never-ending, 2010 seems like it was just last year, and you have forgotten what it feels like to be caught up with everything, you may be suffering from Information Overload compounded by a case of Urgency Dependence.

Building on the best time management methods, as well as programs designed to lower frustration, diminish stress, and improve relationships both on and off the job, this session aims to help participants realize a more meaningful and satisfying life, in spite of non-stop change and the enormous volume of information coming at them 24/7.

This workshop will help leaders at all levels work more effectively, then more efficiently, while initiating and facilitating beneficial change, by communicating purposefully and persuasively in order to enable themselves and others to keep up with tomorrow.

Agenda & Objectives

Successful participants will:

Describe how the Natural Laws of Commerce drive change.
Identify recent changes in their lives and describe the impact of those changes.
Learn how to lead others through the cycles of change, and prevent them from getting stuck in the past.
Examine how balancing efficiency and effectiveness can lead to more satisfying and productive outcomes.
Discover their own degree of Urgency Mindset.
Assess how effectively they are using their time, and how to keep from wasting it.
Select and plan how best to use their preferred methods of stress reduction.

OHRC Presentation - Book Launch & Author Signing for "Kill All the Chickens" by Amy Olberding

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 19:48:54 +0000

A book launch and author signing of Kill All the Chickens: Grief and Memory on an Ozark Farm by Amy Olberding at 6:00 p.m. at the Garnett Library on Tuesday, November 17, 2026. This event is sponsored by the Ozarks Heritage Research Center. Refreshments provided. Books available for purchase

Amy Olberding is a soon-to-be-retired Presidential Professor of Philosophy at University of Oklahoma. She is also the fourth generation owner of her family’s Century Farm in southern Howell County and lives there with her husband and dog. Her books include The Wrong of Rudeness (Oxford 2019) and her most recent work, a collection of essays blending Ozark family stories and philosophy of death and grief, Kill All the Chickens (Polity 2027).

About the presentation --

The talk will present what happens when a philosopher who is committed to writing a scholarly book about ancient Chinese and Roman death consolations ends up in charge of her family’s farm and living in the traces of her Ozark ancestors. The scholarly book never got written, but the talk will draw from the book that did: a mosaic of reflections on loss and tradition that draws freely from both ancient philosophy and life on a family farm.

Effective Listening - LEAD Yourself Workshop

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 21:31:17 +0000

And yet, good listeners have deeper, stronger, and better relationships at work, at home, and with friends. This workshop will explain why listening is important, help you figure out what type of listener you are, and teach you the necessary skills to become a more effective listener.

Successful Project Management (2-Day Program)

Thu, 6 Aug 2026 20:46:48 +0000

Managers are constantly called upon to manage projects or to be part of a project team. The effective management of projects – completion within a deadline and a budget, subject to performance criteria – is the cornerstone for business success. All projects are undertaken to achieve specific results and need a framework to help accomplish an important new objective; face new challenges and organizational structures, define objectives, communicate and instruct.

Day 1
What is a “Project”?
What is a “successful” project?
Why do projects fail?

•Execution
•Closeout

The Triple Constraints to Projects—Scope, Time, Cost

Processes and Practices
•Scope, Time, Cost, Quality Management
•Risk management
•Communications management

Managing the Scope
•Defining the objectives of the project
•Defining the work to be done
•Work Breakdown Structure
•Managing scope changes

•Resource loading and leveling
•Controlling project costs

Day 2

Methodology – Putting it all together

More About Why You Should Attend:

This seminar is applicable to any management level. This includes the manager who has responsibility for many varied projects: needs a framework to help accomplish an important new objective; faces new challenges and needs to organize, define objectives, communicate and instruct.

Learn the critical concepts and techniques needed to complete your projects within their cost, schedule, and performance targets. As a result of attending this seminar, you will be able to complete projects on time, manager resources more effectively, meet or beat budget objectives, achieve successful, quality outcomes, and minimize “redo” by doing it right the first time.

The focus of this CoP will be on building tangible deliverables both in the form of resources for current and future colleagues/students/staff, but also for our own courses. Faculty from across the university, in all colleges and ranks/positions are welcome!
