乔治Liepa Sigma XI Speaker Series
The 乔治Liepa Sigma Xi Annual Speaker Series Endowed Fund at 菲律宾十大彩票平台 presents:
Dr. 杰里米•实用 "A tale of two cities: Climate resilience and adaptation in a changing world."


2023年3月23日,星期四,7-8点.m. 在学生中心礼堂
关于这节课的信息:随着气候变化的加速, there is growing concern that our cities and communities will be subject to environmental stresses beyond what they can exceed. 海平面上升, combined with increased risk from extreme precipitation, 飓风和其他气候灾害, requires that communities urgently develop and implement adaptation plans. The challenge is that many key physical processes that control climate evolution and sea level rise remain poorly understood, leading to a range of climate and sea level rise scenarios confounding many adaptation plans. 同时, communities face disparate vulnerabilities with lower income and marginalized communities already facing disproportionate risks associated with flooding with fewer resources to mitigate these disasters. Addressing these risks requires that we link science, society and engineering to understand how the past can inform equitable adaptation and mitigation policies that are urgently needed. 我会讲一下历史, geography and geology affect past and future adaptation efforts with a focus on adaptation and mitigation efforts currently underway in the nearby midwestern city of Detroit, 密歇根州和海滨城市休斯顿, 德州.
关于博士. 实用: "I did my undergraduate degree in Math and Physics. I did my PhD at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where I was trained as a geophysicist and oceanographer. I then moved to the University of Chicago, driving from La Jolla California to Chicago in December. I am now a professor in the Department of Climate and Space Sciences at the University of Michigan. Most of my original work uses a mixture of computational work, field work and satellite imagery to understand the fundamental processes and mechanisms by which ice sheets and glaciers respond to climate change. 越来越多地, my work has evolved to focus more on interdisciplinary approaches that integrate science into decision making to adapt to the changing climate."

历史


The 乔治Liepa Sigma XI Speaker Series Endowed Fund was established in 2011 in memory of Dr. 乔治Liepa [PDF]. George was an active campus member of Sigma Xi, a professor of human nutrition and a department head in the College of Health and Human Services.
当研究生研究展览会成立的时候, it was his idea to have a science-related speaker present at the end of the day. George secured funding from Sigma Xi National to start the event and was a key figure in helping to select the annual speaker as well as marketing the event to EMU students, 教师和当地高中.
