CE SEMINAR SERIES
Everyone is encouraged to attend!
Friday, November 16th, 2018
12:10 – 1:00 pm | TFLO 133
Dr. Steve Ghan
Climate Scientist,
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)
Global Climate Change:
A Solvable but Wicked Problem
Abstract
Fossil fuels have played a major role in lifting humans out of poverty, but the carbon dioxide
emitted to the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned is driving global changes in the
climate system that threaten that prosperity. In this seminar, Dr. Ghan will show how the
global changes depend primarily on the total carbon emitted and the time for the changes
to manifest. He will then summarize the various technologies readily available to replace
fossil fuels, and the barriers to adopting them. He will finish with a message of hope,
describing effective and durable political action that can overcome those barriers.
Bio
Steven Ghan was a climate scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory from 1990
to 2018 and PNNL Lab Fellow since 2011, following five years at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory and receiving his bachelors degree in Atmospheric Sciences from the University
of Washington in 1979 and his doctorate in Meteorology from the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology in 1988. He is internationally recognized for his expertise in representing
aerosol particles and their affects on clouds and climate in global climate models. He has
authored more than 180 publications in scientific journals, is cited in the top 1% of all earth
scientists, and served as an editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research – Atmospheres
from 2007 to 2016 and as Editor-in-Chief from 2012 to 2016. He has contributed to three
climate change assessments by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which in
2008 was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for the assessments. He is a Fellow of the American
Geophysical Union.

Campus lecture and discussion - Expert Women Explore The Heavy Burden Of Hanford Cleanup
2019-03-21 17:00 - 20:00 | East Auditorium, 2710 Crimson Way, Richland, WA, 99354
In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Northwest News Network’s Anna King will present her award-winning public radio project Daughters of Hanford at WSU Tri-Cities.
Afterwards, King will moderate a panel discussion with three of those featured expert women. The event starts at 5 p.m., March 21, in WSU Tri-Cities’ East Auditorium.
“These women have intense experiences, great depth of knowledge and funny stories to share about Hanford,” says Anna King, who also appears on WSU’s Northwest Public Broadcasting. “Hanford is a heavy burden that we all inherit and these women’s wisdom is invaluable.”
WSU Tri-Cities, WSU WiSTEM and the Women Chemist Committee of the American Chemical Society, Richland Section, are presenting the entertaining program together.
Daughters is oral histories, portraits and personal archives of women who changed the World War II plutonium production site, and women who were changed by it. The evening’s panel discussion will feature three Daughters of Hanford: retired Washington State Ecology geologist Zelma Maine Jackson, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Frannie Smith and retired head of Washington State Ecology’s Hanford program, Jane Hedges.
“Women’s contributions to the Hanford site and the Manhattan Project sites across the country, but especially at Hanford, are unknown,” says Zelma Maine Jackson. “When you think of the nuclear industry you think of men, you never think of women. But more than likely they performed 90 percent of the hard work — the laborious, tedious, number crunching, dictating a letter, making a policy come into effect — it’s always been the mental heavy load carried by women.”
Daughters of Hanford was created in partnership with WSU Tri-Cities, The REACH, and Northwest Public Broadcasting. Daughters is a series, a museum installation and a radio documentary. Daughters was awarded the Washington State Historical Society’s David Douglas award.
“This won’t be a stiff lecture, or a glum chat,” King says about the upcoming event at WSU Tri-Cities. “Bring a young woman or girl and grab a seat for this entertaining evening full of dynamic sound, surprising Northwest stories, poignant moments and laughter.”
Daughters gets its name from nuclear science. “Daughter products” are isotopes formed by radioactive decay of some other isotope. Daughters collaborators include: WSU Tri-Cities’s associate professor of fine arts Doug Gast, Seattle-based photographer Kai-Huei Yau, and newly-minted APM podcast editor Phyllis Fletcher. You can listen to the audio stories and explore the full project and photography at daughtersofhanford.org.
