Arthur H. Compton Lecture Series--An Intro to Climate Systems Engineering

11:00 am Kersten Physics Teaching Center, room 106

An Introduction to Climate Systems Engineering is a multidisciplinary exploration of emerging approaches to reduce climate change itself and mitigate some of its risks. Featuring talks by leading researchers from the University of Chicago’s Climate Systems Engineering initiative (CSEI), this series will examine the science, technologies, and policy implications behind large-scale interventions such as sunlight reflection methods (SRM), open-systems carbon removal, and glacial preservation. Join us for a primer on what’s possible with this emerging field and what kinds of public policy and research are needed if society chooses to pursue these tools.

Broader Impacts Fair 2025

12:00–2:00 pm William Eckhardt Research Building

“Broader Impacts” refers to the ways in which research in mathematics, engineering, and the natural and social sciences can have a broad impact on society through education, policy, and economic development. Students who apply for the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship are expected to show a commitment to broader impacts. Students can show that commitment by getting involved with university programs or local organizations that work toward broader impact goals. All students, whether applying for the NSF Fellowship or not, are welcome to come and learn about these organizations and how to get involved.
