Abstract
Christian Stamm, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag)
How combining real-world data with experimental manipulations can provide powerful tools for understanding the drivers for ecological change.
Part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series.
Coffee and refreshments will be provided.
On December 15th, WISE is pleased to host Sankaran Ramalingam, President, Energy and Fuel Users Association of India (ENFUSE) for a public lecture entitled, 'Energy Economics - Towards Sustainable Development & A Green GDP'. Current methods of calculating economic growth fail to account for environmental depletion, degradation and loss of biodiversity. In turn, industrial development and economic growth are reflective of the creation of material wealth but fail to cultivate environmental and social gains.

Presented by Affordable Energy for Humanity
During his lecture, Dr. Claudio Vergara will present the work being carried out at MIT to support the expansion of access to electricity in the developing world.
In collaboration with Comillas University in Spain, researchers from MIT’s Tata Center for Technology and Design are partnering with Organizations such as the Enel Foundation, Iberdrola, the World Bank, and the German and Belgian International Cooperation Agencies to create impactful
solutions to energy access Issues.
