  - A free public lecture by Lord Ron Oxburgh
		
Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:00 - Social Sciences Lecture Theatre UWA
		
This lecture will discuss the challenges of population growth and
meeting the growing needs for energy and water, while neither destroying
the other ecosystems on which we depend, nor pushing the Earth’s
climate yet further from the norm of the last ten thousand years, and
moreover, to do this during a major world financial crisis.   Ron
Oxburgh FRS (Lord Oxburgh of Liverpool) is a former UK Chief Scientific
Adviser to the Ministry of Defence. He was non-executive Chairman of
Shell Transport and Trading until the Company merged with Royal Dutch
Petroleum to form Royal Dutch Shell in 2005. He is currently President
of the Carbon Capture and Storage Association and Chairman of 2OC and
GEO – small greentec startups - and is a foreign member of the US,
Australian and German Academies of Science.

This lecture is presented by the UWA Centre for Water Research and the
