Land Acknowledgement Statement

The University of Arizona occupies the original homelands of the Tohono O'odham and Pascua Yaqui Nations, Indigenous peoples who have stewarded this land since time immemorial. Aligning with the university’s core value of a diverse and inclusive community, it is an institutional responsibility to recognize and acknowledge the people, culture and history that make up the Wildcat community. At the institutional level, it is important to be proactive in broadening awareness throughout campus to ensure our students feel represented and valued.

About this lecture

Our society's most significant challenges from climate change will be those involving water - both too much causing flooding and too little causing droughts. What can lessons from past civilizations tell us about the dangers we face and how we might adapt? In this talk, we take a tour around the globe to explore how climate change alters the planet's water cycle, how societies past and present have responded, and the challenges we face in the future.
