Beyond 2028: Climate Policy, Economic Opportunity, and Global Cooperation
Wilkes Center
As we consider the future beyond the 2028 presidential election, what policy tools will remain available—at the federal, state, local, and international levels—to accelerate the energy transition while strengthening economic competitiveness?
Join us for a panel discussion:Adam Rose (Research Professor in the University of Southern California Sol Price School of Public Policy), Matthew Fry (Associate Professor, School of Environment, Society & Sustainability, University of Utah), Kody Powell (Associate Professor, Chemical Engineering; Adjunct Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering, University of Utah), Adam Looney (Executive Director of the Marriner S.

Adaptive navigation in bacteria and flies
Successful chemical navigation requires organisms to continuously adapt their strategies to evolving signal statistics and environmental context. Both the extraction and utilization of sensory information are dynamically regulated over time. I will present experiments investigating how bacteria and fruit flies implement such adaptive strategies. Specifically, I will show how an isogenic bacterial population leverages the interplay between phenotypic diversity and collective migration to optimize its navigational behavior across varying environments. If time permits I will conclude by discussing how fruit flies modulate their reliance on distinct directional cues derived from the same signal when navigating toward an odor source under different wind conditions.

Lessons for a Warming Planet: A Vital History of U.S. Environmental Law
Wilkes Center
The relationship between humans and the environment in the United States reflects tales of countless contrasting and overlapping trends, movements, and tensions. Law has cultivated both the planet’s biggest environmental threats and its most creative innovations for protecting human and ecological health. U.S. laws have driven both exploitation and temperance; destruction and restoration; and resistance and adaptation.
Lessons for a Warming Planet showcases the fundamental role the law has served in reckoning with environmental harm in the United States. Authors Alejandro E. Camacho and Brigham Daniels explore the full arc of U.S. environmental legal history across five major periods in the United States, reaching as far back as North America’s colonization and ending with the present. Through this rich history, the book considers the ways leadership, social movements, political coalitions, information, and technologies have both been catalyzed by the law and have advanced environmental change.

"Knowns, Unknowns, and Living Stones: What We Do and Don’t Know About Great Salt Lake's Microbialites"
Description:
In addition to birds, brine shrimp, halophilic microbes, and nematodes, Great Salt Lake is home to a spectacular community of microbialites. These lumpy beige rocks host a diverse microbial ecosystem that forms a vital piece of the lake's food web but are under threat as the lake shrinks. Beyond their modern ecological role, the lake's microbialites serve as complex paleoenvironmental records and may offer clues to understanding the early evolution of life on Earth. This talk will explore what we know, what we think we know, and highlight critical gaps in our understanding of Great Salt Lake's microbialites.

2027 Wilkes Climate Innovation Prize (Accepting Submissions)
Wilkes Center
The Wilkes Climate Innovation Prize seeks bold, high-potential solutions that address significant challenges affecting the climate/energy/economy ecosystem and are positioned to make measurable progress toward real-world use. The Prize is designed to support solutions at a stage where uncertainty remains high, conventional funding or adoption pathways are limited, and targeted support can plausibly influence outcomes. Solutions may be technological, policy-driven, operational, financial, or hybrid. Applicants may be for-profit or nonprofit organizations, academic teams, public-sector innovators, or mission-driven collaborations from anywhere in the world.
