I'm talking tonight April 22 at Oregon State University in Corvallis, my undergraduate alma mater. If you are near Corvallis please come by. Poster above from OSU. 

This is the Gov. Tom McCall Memorial Lecture. McCall was legend in Oregon for his initiatives to protect the lands and waters of the state: Willamette River cleanup, bottle bill, land-use planning law, beaches as state parks to prevent development. His work helped establish Oregon as a leader nationwide in environmental protection.

The title of my talk is "Changing Planet: Where Energy and Climate Collide." General details from NGS:
