Ocean waves and tidal currents are one of the most untapped and important, clean, cheap, rich, and reliable sources of renewable energy on the earth. UC Berkeley professor Reza Alam and his team at the TAF Lab (Theoretical & Applied Fluid Dynamics Laboratory) have developed a "wave carpet" which can extract the energy of ocean waves and turn it into electricity and freshwater for households and cities.

We want to promote healthy and safe relationships during your time here, and we can all play our part. Therefore, Cal is part of a UC systemwide effort to provide education, prevention and response to the issues of Sexual Assault, Dating and Relationship Violence, and Stalking. Addressing these issues is a part of the University's commitment to providing you with an inspiring, healthy, and safe learning environment. A key component of this safe learning environment is an atmosphere free of violence, coercion, and fear. This presentation is designed to enable UC Berkeley students to: • understand how to recognize stalking, intimate partner violence and sexual assault and Cal's policies relating to these issues • learn campus resources, including specific staff contacts, for support around instances of harassment and violence • practice safe bystander intervention in instances of harassment and violence at Cal
