Join fellow UCLA alumni\, parents and friends at an exclusive brunch reception and conversation. \nJennifer Jay \nProfessor\, Civil and Environmental Engineering\nInstitute of the Environment and Sustainability \nSTAND UP FOR THE EARTH WHILE YOU SIT DOWN TO BRUNCH \nHave you ever considered the connections between our food\, climate change\, and antibiotic resistance in the environment? Globally\, food systems–what we eat\, where and how we grow it– play a major role in determining our impact on the environment. By considering our food choices\, we can find “low hanging fruit” for reducing our “foodprint.” In fact\, diet shifts hold great potential for helping us mitigate climate change! In addition\, food system changes can help us address a suite of environmental challenges including biodiversity loss\, nutrient pollution\, and land use change. In this talk we will discuss the complex relationship between food and the environment. We will focus on research regarding the transport of antibiotic resistant bacteria through watersheds in California to the coastal ocean and even to the microbiome of surfers. We will also investigate how knowledge of the carbon footprint of foods can lead to healthier and more sustainable food choices. \nSUNDAY\, MARCH 12\, 2023\n10:30 a.m. – Reception\n11:15 a.m. – Presentation \nST.

This was made possible with the first measurements of stellar orbits around a galactic nucleus. Further advances in state-of-the-art of high-resolution imaging technology on the world’s largest telescopes have greatly expanded the power of using stellar orbits to study black holes. This work is providing insight into how black holes grow and the role that they play in regulating the growth of their host galaxies. New measurements of stellar orbits at the Galactic Center hold the promise of improving our understanding of gravity through the tests of Einstein Theory of General Relativity in an unexplored regime. \nRSVP is by invitation only.

Traditionally\, beach and backshore dune systems have provided critical protection against high water levels and energetic waves. However\, Southern California backshores have been fundamentally altered to facilitate transportation\, housing and recreational opportunities. Sea level rise will raise beach groundwater levels and propagate wave energy landward\, promoting coastal erosion and in turn\, jeopardizing infrastructure and necessitating flood mitigation measures. Join Professor Gallien and learn about the complex set of processes in coastal zones where land meets water and how previous measures have significant\, and at times\, unintended flood risk implications. \nRSVP is by invitation only.

Smith\nProfessor\, Department of Anthropology &\nInstitute of the Environment and Sustainability\nNavin and Pratima Doshi Chair in Indian Studies \nBuild Tall or Add Sprawl? An Age-Old Urban Dilemma\nIn Los Angeles\, we’re confronted with sprawl\, traffic\, and miles of roadways that connect our city. Yet an archaeological perspective on urbanism shows that even in the first cities 6\,000 years ago there were the beginnings of a tug-of-war between vertical and horizontal visions of urbanism. Ancient cities almost all have some forms of monumental architecture that concentrates people and events in built-up centers\, and they almost all have some forms of sprawl and spread that are equivalent to our modern suburbs. What can we learn from the configuration of ancient and modern cities that can help us work towards better urban centers in the future? \nRSVP is by invitation only.  URL:https://chancellorssociety.ucla.edu/event/south-bay-chancellors-society-cabinet-salon/ LOCATION:Rolling Hills\, CA ORGANIZER;CN="Chancellor's Society Events":MAILTO:csevents@support.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191022T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191022T203000 DTSTAMP:20260525T110620 CREATED:20191017T213741Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191017T222516Z UID:6087-1571767200-1571776200@chancellorssociety.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Northern California Chancellor's Society Cabinet Salon DESCRIPTION:This evening’s exclusive reception will feature presentations about the pioneering work being done on our campus through the Depression Grand Challenge; the largest effort of its kind in history\, uniting dozens of scientists and scholars around a common goal: cutting the burden of depression in half by 2050 and eliminating it by the end of the century.
