SUMMARY:Conservation for Cities: Luskin Innovators Speaker Series Featuring Robert McDonald
DESCRIPTION:Luskin Innovators Speaker Series Featuring Robert McDonald\nReception\, Presentation\, Panel Discussion\, Author Q&A\, and Book Signing. Panelists to be announced. \nRSVP HERE\nAbout the Book\nIt’s time to think differently about cities and nature. Understanding how to better connect our cities with the benefits nature provides will be increasingly important as people migrate to cities and flourish in them. All this urban growth\, along with challenges of adapting to climate change\, will require a new approach to infrastructure if we’re going to be successful. Yet guidance on how to plan and implement projects to protect or restore natural infrastructure is often hard to come by. \nWith Conservation for Cities\, Robert McDonald offers a comprehensive framework for maintaining and strengthening the supporting bonds between cities and nature through innovative infrastructure projects. After presenting a broad approach to incorporating natural infrastructure priorities into urban planning\, he focuses each following chapter on a specific ecosystem service. He describes a wide variety of benefits\, and helps practitioners answer fundamental questions: What are the best ecosystem services to enhance in a particular city or neighborhood? How might planners best combine green and grey infrastructure to solve problems facing a city? What are the regulatory and policy tools that can help fund and implement projects? Finally\, McDonald explains how to develop a cost-effective mix of grey and green infrastructure and offers targeted advice on quantifying the benefits. \nWritten by one of The Nature Conservancy’s lead scientists on cities and natural infrastructure\, Conservation for Cities is a book that ecologists\, planners\, and landscape architects will turn to again and again as they plan and implement a wide variety of projects. \nAbout the Author\nDr. Robert McDonald is Senior Scientist for Sustainable Land Use at The Nature Conservancy\, where he is lead scientist for the organization’s efforts to figure out how to make cities more sustainable. He holds a Ph.D. in Ecology from Duke University\, and has published more than 30 peer-reviewed publications\, many of them on the science of how cities impact and depend on the environment. He blogs for The Nature Conservancy’s Cool Green Science blog and has published two recent essays on urban/environment interactions in a collection called Taking Sides: Clashing Views in Global Issues (McGraw-Hill) and in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

SUMMARY:IOES Climate Series: A Tale of Two Cities: Los Angeles and Beijing
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is the existential crisis of the 21st century. How it plays out\, how we can curb it\, and how we adjust to the changes already underway will define our generation. \n\nThis fall\, the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum\, in collaboration with UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability\, has designed a new kind of climate series: a four-night conversation between the L.A. community and some of the world’s experts on all things climate. \nDATES:\nOctober 5 – Climate Change Cliff Notes\nOctober 19 – Earth and Human Climate\nNovember 2 – A Tale of Two Cities in a Hotter World: Los Angeles and Beijing\nNovember 16 – Imagined Futures for a Hotter Planet \n\nThursday\, November 2 A Tale of Two Cities: Los Angeles & Beijing\nIt is tough to feel urgency when climate change seems like something happening to future generations\, in faraway lands. The reality is\, it is and will affect all of us\, in every city on the planet. And it’s not all bad\, by the way—some cities and people could benefit from global warming. To make climate change personal\, local\, and real\, let’s talk about how it will affect two of the greatest cities in the world\, Los Angeles and Beijing. We’ll compare notes on each city’s infrastructure and governance\, actual on-the-ground impacts\, and how residents might react. \nConversation with \nAlex Hall\, UCLA Professor of Atmospheric & Ocean Sciences and Director\, IoES Center for Climate Science \nBrad Shaffer\, UCLA Evolutionary Biologist and Director\, UCLA La Kretz Center for California Conservation Science \nAlex Wang\, professor at UCLA School of Law \nModerated by \nStephanie Wear\, Senior Scientist and Strategy Advisor at The Nature Conservancy

SUMMARY:BruinTech Monthly Brown Bag: Search for the Super Battery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our first Brown Bag of 2018! \nMeet Maher El-Kady\, Postdoctoral Research Associate from UCLA’s Kaner Lab and Chief Technology Officer of Nanotech Energy. He will discuss a smart city utilizing renewable energy sources such as solar and wind to produce electricity\, an energy that is stored in batteries or hydrogen to run eco-friendly cars\, consumer electronics\, etc. \nImagine a world where you could charge your smart phone in just few minutes. Same goes for laptops\, power tools\, medical devices\, even electric cars. Then imagine that instead of traditional batteries that run out of juice very quickly\, you used long-lasting energy storage systems that can last three times longer on a single charge. That is just a snapshot of a world charged by Graphene Super battery. In this talk\, I will highlight our activities at Nanotech Energy\, Inc.\, in turning graphene and other nanomaterials research into safer\, durable and more powerful batteries. I will also talk about our most recent discovery of a device that can use solar energy to inexpensively and efficiently create and store energy\, which could be used to power electronic devices\, and to create hydrogen fuel for eco-friendly cars. This 3-in-1 device paves the way for fabricating technologically useful multifunctional devices that need only sun light to operate. The results are very promising and can be considered an important step towards more sustainable development. \nAbout Nanotech Energy \nNanotech Energy\, Inc.\, was formed in 2014 to move cutting-edge research on graphene-based energy storage devices developed at UCLA to the marketplace. Graphene has been hailed as the wonder material of the 21st Century\, and Nanotech Energy is harnessing its properties to revolutionize the way we power our world. The technology Nanotech Energy is developing will create real-world benefits\, from helping develop more cost-efficient\, environmentally-friendly personal electronic devices to creating a more efficient way to harness renewable energy. Nanotech Energy owns more than 27 patent families covering all aspects from graphene production to applications in batteries\, supercapacitors\, printed electronics\, and conductive adhesives. Prototypes have already been created and an operational factory is in development. \nThis is a Brown Bag\, so please feel free to bring your lunch. \nAnd your questions!

SUMMARY:The Virtuous Cycle of Water and Prosperity - Luskin Center for Innovation Event
DESCRIPTION:Reception\, Presentation\, Panel Discussion\, Author Q&A\, and Book Signing.\nAuthor and main speaker: Sandra Postel \nModerator: Mark Gold\, UCLA \nPanelists: Rita Kampalath\, Los Angeles County Chief Sustainability Office; Omar Moghaddam\, GeoEnvironment Technologies\, Advantek International \nAbout the book:\nWe have disrupted the natural water cycle for centuries in an effort to control water for our own prosperity. Yet every year\, recovery from droughts and floods costs billions of dollars\, and we spend billions more on dams\, diversions\, levees\, and other feats of engineering. These massive projects not only are risky financially and environmentally\, they often threaten social and political stability. What if the answer was not further control of the water cycle\, but repair and replenishment? \nSandra Postel takes readers around the world to explore water projects that work with\, rather than against\, nature’s rhythms. In New Mexico\, forest rehabilitation is safeguarding drinking water; along the Mississippi River\, farmers are planting cover crops to reduce polluted runoff; and in China\, “sponge cities” are capturing rainwater to curb urban flooding. \nEfforts like these will be essential as climate change disrupts both weather patterns and the models on which we base our infrastructure. We will be forced to adapt. The question is whether we will continue to fight the water cycle or recognize our place in it and take advantage of the inherent services nature offers. Water\, Postel writes\, is a gift\, the source of life itself. How will we use this greatest of gifts? \nAbout the author:\nSandra Postel directs the independent Global Water Policy Project and lectures\, writes and consults on global water issues. In 2010 she was appointed Freshwater Fellow of the National Geographic Society. Sandra is co-creator of Change the Course\, the national water stewardship initiative awarded the 2017 US Water Prize for restoring billions of gallons of water to depleted rivers and wetlands. \nDuring 2000-2008\, Sandra was visiting senior lecturer in Environmental Studies at Mount Holyoke College\, and late in that term directed the college’s Center for the Environment. From 1988 until 1994\, she was vice president for research at the Worldwatch Institute. Sandra is a Pew Scholar in Conservation and the Environment\, and has been named one of the Scientific American 50\, an award recognizing contributions to science and technology. \nA leading authority and prolific author on international water issues\, Sandra has been hailed for her “inspiring\, innovative and practical approach” to promoting the preservation and sustainable use of freshwater. She is author of Replenish: The Virtuous Cycle of Water and Prosperity (Island Press\, 2017)\, Pillar of Sand: Can the Irrigation Miracle Last? and of Last Oasis: Facing Water Scarcity\, chosen by Choice magazine as a 1993 Outstanding Academic Book. Last Oasis appears in eight languages and was the basis for a 1997 PBS documentary. Sandra’s article “Troubled Waters\,” was selected for inclusion in the 2001 edition of Best American Science and Nature Writing. She is also co-author (with Brian Richter) of Rivers for Life: Managing Water for People and Nature (Island Press 2003). Sandra co-founded and regularly contributes to National Geographic’s freshwater blog\, Water Currents. \nSandra has authored more than 100 articles for popular and scholarly publications\, including Science\, Natural History\, Scientific American\, Foreign Policy\, Ecological Applications\, Technology Review\, Environmental Science and Technology\, International Wildlife\, and Water Alternatives.
