Join Canadian tech critic and author Paris Marx for a look at the environmental and social costs of AI data centres, their impacts on communities and the future of Big Tech.

Master of Future Cities' student Konrad Borowski will present at the next SERS Salon talk to explore the critical infrastructure of pollination today, and the ways operational, ecological, and mechanical approaches are changing to protect its continuity. As climate change alters flowering seasons and exposes agriculture to floods, droughts, and extreme heat, the pollination that supports three-quarters of all food on Earth is at risk of collapse.

Learn more about the role fresh water ice plays as a key proxy variable for broader climate change effects in cold regions, and the importance of satellite-based observation in monitoring climate and everyday operations.
