Whose innovations are helping? Comparing climate change solutions from engineers, architects, planners, chemists, biologists, and others

Thursday November 20, 2014
5:00 pm


 Presenter:  Clinton J. Andrews, Professor of Urban Planning and Policy Development, Associate Dean for Planning and New Initiatives, and Director of the Center for Green Building, at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
 Series:  Sigma Xi Public Talk
 Abstract:  The problem of human-accelerated climate change is serious enough that it is inspiring a range of solutions reflecting a variety of disciplinary and professional perspectives. This talk samples the solution space and asks which proposals are ripe for implementation now as we begin the transition to a post-carbon era. Using examples of innovative buildings, settlements, energy networks, smart infrastructures, and energy production technologies, it compares their maturity, scalability, cost, and side effects.
 Host:  Harjit Ahluwalia
 Location:  Room C, UNM Conference Center
