Topic: Climate change and Sustainability in Mongolia—Land of the eternal blue sky.
Different culture: Similar challenges
Climate change is a world-wide challenge, but most people focus on impacts close to home. Come hear about how closely the effects of climate change in Mongolia mirror what's happening in Arizona, and how shared challenges might lead to shared solutions.

STEM Speaker Dr. Simon Steel
Date: October 31, 2024
Time: 3:30 – 4:30 pm
Location: SL 116
Topic: Where are the Aliens?
For nearly 40 years, the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has been investigating a question that we all may have asked ourselves: Are we Alone in the Universe? This talk will dive into the scientific search for alien life in our galaxy. Where do we look, how do we search, and what are our chances of making perhaps the greatest discovery in the history of science?
Dr. Simon Steel is an astronomer and educator at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California. His scientific interests include star formation, galaxies, black holes, and, of course, aliens.

Time: 3:30 – 4:30 pm
Location: SL 116
Topic: Carbon Prison – Behind the bars and how to get out
The 4th Industrial Revolution and Energy Transition has begun. Climate Change is personal and has permeated all societies. To combat the effects of climate change, an ALL-HANDS approach will be needed to curb and reverse atmospheric CO2 levels through multiple geoscience, engineering and technology
Solutions: Carbon Capture Utilization and Sequestration (CCUS), Direct Air Capture of CO2, hydrogen and other gas storage in salt caverns, geothermal energy, CO2 mineralization into rock, and other underground CO2 and energy storage options. New and multidisciplinary training, education, research, and workforce development in all STEM fields are coming into demand. Come learn how you can be a part of climate mitigation through these solutions in Arizona and the Southwest.
