SUMMARY:Is Solar Geoengineering a Viable Tool in the Climate Policy Arsenal?
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid event. For those attending virtually\, a Zoom link will be sent out the day of the event. \nAs the planet nears the critical warming threshold of 1.5C (3F)\, a class of controversial climate interventions\, often described under the umbrella term of “Geoengineering”—the intentional manipulation of Earth’s planetary environment to offset the warming effects of carbon pollution–are coming increasingly into focus on the national and international policy stage. Such manipulations potentially include what’s called “solar geoengineering” or “Solar Radiation Management” \, which refer to efforts to reduce the surface warming by the Sun (e.g. through the periodic injection of reflective particles into the stratosphere to mimic the cooling by an explosive volcanic eruption). They also include approaches to capture carbon from the atmosphere\, followed by subsequent storage beneath Earth’s surface or in the deep ocean\, known as carbon dioxide removal. \nA panel with diverse views and backgrounds on the topic will explore questions surrounding solar geoengineering.  \nThe Penn Center for Science\, Sustainability and the Media is excited to host and sponsor this event with Kleinman Center for Energy Policy and Perry World House. This event will be both in-person and streamed live and recorded for later viewing. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Zine Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Climate Justice Conversations invites you to a Zine-Making Workshop held in collaboration with the Common Experience at UCLA. We will learn zine’s purposes\, make zines with sustainable supplies\, and contribute to a zine swap. All while enjoying Auntie Annie’s pretzels and lemonade. \nZines are self-published\, non-commercial print work that is typically produced in small\, limited batches. Zines generally look like mini-magazines and have historically been used to spread activism efforts; though many have been made about music\, interests\, fandoms\, and much more. You can make a zine about anything! \nOur event partner\, the Common Experience at UCLA\, selects a title for the Bruin community to read\, listen or watch together each year. The mission of the Common Experience is to ignite campus-wide discussions on compelling social issues and inspire action. \nThis year\, the Common Experience selected Leah Thomas’s The Intersectional Environmentalist\, aligned with their 2022-23 Sustainability and Climate Change theme. The first 20 people to attend the event will win a copy of The Intersectional Environmentalist! \nTo learn more about our other Climate Justice Conversations events\, visit the Environmentalists of Color Collective (ECC) at UCLA  website. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Watson Lecture: Electrifying and Decarbonizing Chemical Synthesis
DESCRIPTION:Online and In-Person Event\nKarthish Manthiram\, Professor of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry; William H. Hurt Scholar\, Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering \nThere is a significant carbon footprint behind the physical world\, including the fabrics we wear\, the foods we eat\, and the disinfectants we spray. This problem presents the need to find ways to synthesize chemicals and materials in a sustainable manner that eliminates greenhouse gas emissions from these products. In this lecture\, Manthiram will discuss how his lab is developing an approach that uses electricity to convert air and water into the useful chemicals and materials we rely on every day. \nThis lecture will be presented in a hybrid format\, allowing for both virtual viewers and in-person attendees. No advance registration is required for either format but you may sign up for reminders about this event. \nHow to watch online\nThe lecture can be viewed via live stream on caltech.edu/watson or on Caltech’s YouTube channel. \nVirtual viewers can submit questions for the lecturer through the YouTube chat feed. Select questions will be answered after the lecture\, during the audience Q&A. \nHow to attend in person\nLocal participants can attend the lecture inside Caltech’s Beckman Auditorium. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. \nAbout the Series\nThe 2022–2023 season marks the centennial of The Earnest C. Watson Lecture Series\, which has brought Caltech’s most innovative scientific research to the public since the Friday Evening Demonstrations premiered in October of 1922. The series is named for Earnest C. Watson\, a professor of physics at Caltech from 1919 until 1959. The Watson Lectures are geared toward a general audience\, as part of the Institute’s ongoing commitment to benefiting the local community through education and outreach.
