In 2020, the U.S. saw intense forest fires and a record number of hurricanes and other extreme weather events as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. All have highlighted the fracture lines that can sometimes exist between science experts and science skeptics. 2020 demonstrated how the lack of collaboration and trust in both climate and public health science has led to worse societal outcomes — indicating that more effective science communication and communicators are needed. In this event, Katharine Hayhoe, co-director of the Climate Center at Texas Tech University, will discuss her work as an atmospheric scientist and a renowned science communicator who works to bridge cultural and political divides with regard to climate science.
This event is part of the Civic Scientist Lecture Series, sponsored by the Baker Institute Science and Technology Policy Program with generous support from Benjamin and Winifer Cheng. Additional support is provided by Rice University’s George R. Brown School of Engineering and Wiess School of Natural Sciences and grants from the Kavli Foundation and the National Science Foundation (Grant No. 2042854).

In this talk, William Fulton, director of the Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University, will discuss Houston as a prototypical, sprawling Sun Belt city.
Houston is on the front lines of sprawl. Known for its free-market approach to development, Houston is consuming new land faster than almost any American city, according to a recent analysis by the New York Times. At the same time, Houston faces natural disasters that are expected to become more intense with climate change, and rapid gentrification that threatens to displace residents and worsen inequality.
In this talk, William Fulton will discuss Houston as a prototypical, sprawling Sun Belt city. He’ll explore questions such as:
- Â Can Houston use market-based forces to tame sprawl?
- Â Can the city use land conservation to protect against flooding?
- Â Can a free-market, fast-growing city like Houston become more resilient in the age of climate change?
