3 Talk Outline The poltical situation relative to climate change. The persona of the Purdue geotechnical engineer What does public interaction and debate on climate change look like at global, regional and local levels. Some experiences

8 Climate Change Challenges Multidisciplinary: will require work across the social and physical sciences and engineering. Multiple areas impacted: Permafrost, slope stability, storm water drainage from flood intensity/durations, soil/rock weathering/aging, chemical alternation, coastal inundation, groundwater level changes, fresh water resource impacts. Policy/politics/people: Educational and background variability for the decision-makers and those impacted. Partial science/engineering illiteracy and emotional response.

12 What would GAL say? Once it is accepted that not all observed events have been explained adequately, the way is open to identify other possible contributing factors. These, in turn, may illuminate facets that heretofore were incorrectly interpreted, or even unrecognized - G. A. Leonards, Investigation of Failures, Sixteenth Terzaghi Lecture, J. Geotechnical Engineering Division, February, 1982.

17 What is your personal motivation to be a geotechnical engineer and study the earth?

18 Understanding Environmental Motivations: Some are based on: SELF-INTEREST!

19 Understanding Environmental Motivations: Some are based on: PASSION!

79 Climate change is a hotbed of political debate. Purdue geotechnical engineers, Economics History/Education whether they like it or not, are uniquely suited to address climate change problems in the public forum. Sound engineering input is needed Chemical Engineering Geological Law Engineering/ within multidisciplinary Economics groups asking Geophysics for climate change action. Economics Economics Administratrion/ Finance Lessons Learned Business Economics Administration Law/Economics International Studies/ Spanish Industrial Engineering International Business/ Finance Input can be valuable at regional and local levels. Environmental Engineering Geotechnical engineers are under-represented Graphic Design/ in the Animation public area, and should consider how they might be more directly involved. Political Science/ Economics All contributions can have significant impacts; in a cumulative sense, they could change policy and direction. Communications Computer Engineering

80 In Conclusion and Appreciation Join me in saluting all of the Professor Leonards and Lindenbrooks who have inspired our love of geology, geotechnical engineering and natural history! (Mistro please )
