Field Leslie Ann |
This seminar series equips students and professionals with tools to apply the engineering mindset to problems that stem from climate change, so that they may consider and evaluate possible interventional, remedial and adaptive approaches. This is not a crash course on climate change (established climate experts are better equipped for that), nor is it a crash course in policy; instead the series focuses on discovering and exploring climate problems that seem most likely to benefit from adding the engineering mindset as solutions are considered.
Each week, Dr. Leslie Field and/or a guest speaker will deliver a brief introductory talk (20-30 minutes) in his/her area of expertise to set the framework in terms of climate, energy, resource, policy and public opinion, and explore some of the problems that seem most amenable to engineering input.
