Urban Tree Benefits Tour
Cost: Free
Pre-registration encouraged: https://bit.ly/tree_tour_registration
This tour will gather at the front of the Burke Museum of Natural History.
Trees in Seattle are always hard at work! What exactly are these trees doing? Making and storing sugars, growing, and building defenses against pathogens are all top tree priorities, but as these trees do these things, they are also working hard for us! Trees provide humans with all kinds of benefits; from food we can eat to cleaner water to the very air we breathe. Come learn all about how helpful trees are in our city from UW Alum Theodore Hoss, and meet some of the gorgeous specimens on the UW Campus! All campus tree tours take place outdoors, so please dress for the weather. To register, please visit https://bit.ly/tree_tour_registration. For more information, please visit the UW Campus Tree Tours Website.

Speaker: Dr. Tyler Kukla, Research Scientist, Carbon Plan
Title: The carbon removal potential of spreading rocks on fields
Host: Professor David Battisti, battisti@uw.eduAbstract: Almost every enhanced rock weathering paper begins with a mention of the carbon removal pathway’s promise. Indeed, the scale estimates are jaw-dropping — they commonly predict that enhanced weathering alone could cover ~20-200% of the carbon removal capacity we might need. These rosy claims are fueling millions in investment, but they are also built on models that we don’t fully understand. Here, I argue that it is still too early to be confident in enhanced weathering’s potential. Using a leading model, I show how small tweaks to its setup often eliminate the carbon removal benefit of enhanced weathering, or even cause net emissions. Importantly, these hidden corners of extreme model sensitivity are not quirks of the model itself — they reflect real gaps in geochemical knowledge and data that need to be addressed. While some of…

Title: Vision for a National Center for Predictability Science and its Applications
Host: Professor David Battisti, battisti@uw.eduAbstract: Across virtually every segment of society, a compelling desire exists to know the future. From the spread of disease and the likelihood of a particular individual to develop cancer, to changes in risk associated with extreme weather and the discovery of new drugs, we all want to know the future. But how knowable is it? Few if any things are truly unpredictable or have clearly defined limits of predictability. Rather, they have a range of predictability characteristics, reflecting in many cases intrinsic problem complexity or relationship to the environments or circumstances in which they exist. In that regard, understanding predictability requires differentiating it from but also utilizing its first cousin, prediction. More specifically,…
