SUMMARY:Geoscience in Context: A clean energy future isn't set in stone -

DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, we will be joined by the two authors of a re
 cent commentary piece in Nature Geoscience called "A clean energy future i
 sn't set in stone". In their article\, Franssen and de Wilde raise the que
 stion as to whether a sustainable future has to be based on continued 'dev
 elopment' in the way that we know it. In particular\, they offer a critiqu
 e of the mantra that green development requires the mineral-intensive futu
 re that geoscience is shaping itself to address. They also appeal to socia
 l and geoscientists to work together on setting research aims that promote
  a sustainable and just\, rather than simply a green\, future. The seminar
  will involve a brief introduction to the motivations behind this piece\, 
 and then we will then hear a response from members of our department. The 
 ultimate aim of this seminar is to discuss how geoscience and geoscientist
 s can evolve to enact a sustainable future.
