Alexandra Morel, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, will discuss environmental change, focusing on the critical role of forests. Her extensive research spans tropical forests globally, from Malaysian Borneo to Ethiopia.

Dr. Morel's work explores the intersection of tropical forest ecology and smallholder agriculture, including the ecological limits of poverty alleviation (ecolimits.org). She also investigates the vital role of intact forests in providing global ecosystem services (eci.ox.ac.uk/if21/). A central theme in her research is understanding how forests mitigate and support adaptation to climate change.

This presentation was delivered at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Pyone Thet Thet Kyaw, founder of Virya Myanmar, urges us to consider the ethical journey of our clothing. Her Yangon-based brand champions ethical fashion and empowers young women from underprivileged backgrounds. Pyone's passion for a socially conscious business originated from witnessing exploitation in the industry at a young age, driving her to create Virya.

Prior to entrepreneurship, Pyone spent over a decade in development, including a role as Governance Adviser at UKAid. She is also a Jeanne Sauve Scholar and a Chevening Scholar. This talk was presented at an independently organized TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

The documentary "Haynesville" explores the momentous discovery of the largest natural gas field in the U.S. Louisiana backwoods. It delves into the ensuing boom and its impact on three

The documentary "Haynesville" explores the momentous discovery of the largest natural gas field in the U.S. Louisiana backwoods. It delves into the ensuing boom and its impact on three lives.

A single mom defends her community's environmental protections, an African American preacher seeks to build a school with newfound riches, and a country boy grapples with losing his land versus becoming a millionaire. The film also examines the broader implications for the U.S. energy picture, as experts discuss a clean energy future and Haynesville's potential reserves.

Monitoring the vast amount of heat stored in Earth's warming oceans is challenging. Scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center are developing a novel satellite-based method using magnetic field observations to measure ocean heat content.

This technique leverages seawater's electrical conductivity, which changes with temperature. As conductive ocean water moves, it creates slight magnetic field fluctuations detectable by satellites. This approach promises the first global, all-depth ocean heat measurements from space.

Human-designed products often involve unsustainable processes, creating materials incompatible with living systems. John Warner, a co-founder of green chemistry, offers a solution: by embracing nature's "materials metabolism," we can design and build products that are truly in harmony with the environment.

Dr. Warner's extensive career includes over 300 patents and 100 publications. He co-founded the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry and Beyond Benign, a non-profit dedicated to green chemistry education. An award-winning researcher and advisor, he has significantly advanced sustainable design.
