SUNY-ESF Study Explains Climate Change's Effect on Bird Species
Researchers at SyracuseCoE Platinum Partner SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) have documented that a variety of North American bird species are extending breeding ranges to the north, adding to concerns about climate change, according to a study published by the Journal Global Change Biology. In a study published on the journal's web site, the SUNY-ESF researchers state the change in the birds' breeding ranges "provides compelling evidence that climate change is driving range shifts." "There is a wide spectrum of changes that are occurring and those changes are occurring in a relatively short amount of time. We're not talking centuries, we're talking decades," says William Porter, an ESF faculty member and director of the college's Adirondack Ecological Center. "The most significant finding is that this is the first time in North America that we're showing the repeating pattern that's been shown before in Europe. It's the first time we've been able to replicate those European findings, using the same kind of study." To learn more, click here.

Niagara Falls Water Board Retains O'Brien & Gere for Tunnel Project
SyracuseCoE Platinum Partner O'Brien & Gere has been retained by the Niagara Falls Water Board (NFWB) to provide funding assistance, design, and construction management services for the rehabilitation of the North Gorge Interceptor sewer line. Running 100 feet beneath the Robert Moses Parkway, this rock tunnel interceptor conveys sewage from the northern portions of the City of Niagara Falls to the Gorge Pumping Station, which then pumps the wastewater to the Niagara Falls treatment plant. O'Brien & Gere conducted a feasibility study during 2008 that examined alternate methods and procedures for completing the debris removal work. "This program reinforces O'Brien & Gere's capabilities in the support of municipal water and sewer infrastructure," says James Kyles, Vice President and Project Officer for this program. "Our history with this particular project gives us insight into the most efficient and cost-effective methods to meet the Niagara Falls Water Board's needs." For the complete story, click here.

SRC Introduces New Postdoctoral Scientist Program for Toxicology and Biological Science Research Projects
SyracuseCoE Gold Partner SRC has announced a new Postdoctoral Scientist Program, established within its Environmental Science Business Area, which will give scientists an opportunity to participate in and complete research projects in toxicology. Program participants will work under direct supervision of the company's Environmental Science Business Area's Director of Science and Technology. The initial term of this program will last for one year but, upon successful completion of the first year, participants may opt for extensions. Those accepted to the program are being considered the next generation of scientists in human health risk assessment, working toward innovative solutions to challenges in environmental health and national security. Currently, the program is funded for two scientists, but that number may increase as the program grows and advances. For more information, click here.

Sensis to Add 300 Jobs
SyracuseCoE Silver Partner Sensis Corp. plans a $44 million project to expand its DeWitt, NY headquarters and add 300 jobs over the next 3 to 5 years. The announcement came from New York Gov. David A. Paterson's office. Empire State Development has awarded the company a $5 million grant for the project that will also retain 560 jobs at the company that makes defense and aerospace electronics. The new jobs include engineers, computer scientists, and technology support personnel. "With strong roots in Central New York, Sensis Corporation is one of Upstate's premier success stories," says Paterson. "The company's expansion in East Syracuse means that we will both retain and create needed jobs. We are committed to projects targeted at revitalizing Upstate New York, and Sensis Corporation is just one example." For the full story from the Syracuse Post-Standard, click here.

Balbach to Present on Building Energy Prediction and Simulation, March 26
Chris Balbach, Vice President of R&D at Performance Systems Development--an Ithaca, NY based company focusing on market transformation and market development programs that change the marketplace for energy and building services--will present "Fundamentals of Building Energy Prediction and Simulation: An Overview of Methodologies and Techniques" on March 26. The program starts at 8 a.m. with a breakfast buffet at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. The talk is part of the Central New York Sustainable Speaker Series, presented by SyracuseCoE and the USGBC New York Upstate Chapter. Explains Balbach, "There is a growing interest in the HVAC/R field around using Energy Simulation Software for predicting the energy use of design alternatives. But which is the best tool? This interactive presentation will discuss a process for selecting the appropriate energy modeling tool for the situation at hand." To register, click here. Please also RSVP to Jim D'Aloisio.
