Volunteers Needed: FIRST Lego League Robotics Tournament
Once again IEEE Buenaventura Section is supporting middle
school robotics by hosting/sponsoring the annual FIRST Lego League Robotics
Tournament in Thousand Oaks on Sunday, November 13. Teams of young
robot enthusiasts that will compete for a chance to go to the regional
tournament. The IEEE has been generous in its support over many years both
financially and in providing volunteers. It is a lot of fun and you will be
greatly impressed with what these young people accomplish and their
enthusiasm.
If you are available to volunteer from 8 AM – 4 PM we can
definitely use you in a variety of rolls from assisting judges, monitoring
the games, and other jobs.
Please email Bob Rumer <bobrumer@verizon.net> to volunteer
or ask questions. Feel free to pass this on to anyone you think might enjoy
volunteering.

Description
Data communications between Earth and devices on spacecraft,
such as satellites, have traditionally been carried out through dedicated
links. Shared links using Internet Protocol-based communication offers a
number of advantages over dedicated links. The movement of devices on
spacecrafts however gives rise to mobility management issues.
This talk will discuss various mobility management solutions
for extending the Internet connection to devices on the spacecraft. The
talk will provide an overview of the network layer based solution being
developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force and compare it with the
transport layer-based solution that has been developed at the University of
Oklahoma in conjunction with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Network in motion is an extension of the host mobility protocols for managing
the mobility of networks which are in motion, such as those in airplanes and
trains. The application of networks in motion will be illustrated for
terrestrial and space environments.
About the Speaker
Mohammed Atiquzzaman obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. in
Electrical Engineering and Electronics from the University of Manchester (UK)
in 1984 and 1987, respectively. He currently holds the Edith J Kinney

Guest Speaker: Dr. Severine Fournier of JPL
Humans are reshaping the Earth. Not just the climate of
Earth, but the planet itself. As the Earth warms due to human interference
with the climate, the oceans absorb this extra heat and glaciers and ice
sheets melt, causing the oceans to rise. Covering more than two thirds of the
planet's surface, it means the rising oceans are literally changing the shape
of the planet we call home. Since the early 1990s, a single series of
satellites (e.g. TOPEX-Poseidon, followed by Jason-1, Jason-2, and then
Jason-3) has captured this change with unbelievable accuracy. Built to
measure changes in sea level, our satellites have revolutionized our
understanding of the oceans, especially how the oceans store and redistribute
heat around the planet, and now provide one of the most important records of
how fast our climate is changing.
About the Speaker
Dr. Severine Fournier did her PhD at the French national
oceanographic center (IFREMER, Brest, France). She joined JPL under a NASA
Postdoc Program (NPP) Fellowship in 2015 and as a JPL employee research
scientist in 2018. She has led studies of the ocean using remote sensing
techniques for over 8 years, focused on the land-ocean interface and the
ocean-water cycle linkages. She is the Deputy Project Scientist for the
Sentinel 6 Michael Freilich (6MF) mission that provides measurements of sea
level. She is also the ocean lead for the JPL contribution to the joint
ESA/NASA satellite mission CRISTAL that will provide sea ice observations
along with ocean altimetry measurements.
