City Forum: Dev Niyogi

Dr. Dev Niyogi is a professor at the Jackson School of Geosciences and is currently leader of the UT Extreme weather and Urban Sustainability Lab “TExUS” as well as William Stamps Farish Chair holder in Geology. His research seeks to significantly contribute to our understanding of the Earth system, particularly the urban and agricultural landscapes and to translate the scientific work undertaken into decision tools to create more sustainable climate-ready/resilient coastal, cities, and agricultural systems - which informed his work as former Indiana State Climatologist. Dr. Niyogi has coauthored over 200 peer-reviewed papers for international journals, 18 book chapters, and over 150 conference proceedings or abstracts for professional conferences.

City Forum is a planning and urban issues speaker series coordinated by the UT School of Architecture's Community and Regional Planning program. The series is intended to provide a space for open, critical dialogue regarding crucial planning-related issues in Austin and elsewhere, and to encourage discussion of diversity, multiple publics, and social change.

All participants are welcome. Lunch will be provided; first-come, first-served.
