Brad Bass lecture at UW
 
________________________________
 

Waterloo 350 and Engineers Without Borders - UW are presenting a free public lecture by Nobel Laureate and U of T researcher Dr. Brad Bass. The talk will be discussing community energy planning and looking at questions such as "what parts of society and science need to come together in the next few years to mitigate the climate crisis and build more resilient communities?" 

About the presenter:
Brad Bass is a researcher at the University of Toronto and Environment Canada. In 2007 he co-received the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Dr. Bass' research interests include effects of urbanization on environment, green infrastructure, modelling with fuzzy cognitive maps, ecological and socio-economic simulation with emergent computing, and community energy systems planning.

The event is happening Monday November 17 at 6 pm in the EV1 Courtyard at UW. For more information check out the facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/849298825100492/
