Tyndall said he plans to talk about CWC’s avid research on the environment, especially the Interdisciplinary Climate Change Expedition (ICCE), led by professors Jacki Klancher and Darren Wells. Students and professors who are part of the ICCE conduct field research on the diminishing Dinwoody Glacier and ecosystem impacts on water flow and quality. Tyndall will also discuss Professor Todd Guenther’s archeological research of Native populations living near the glaciers and Professor Kirsten Kapp’s water quality research dealing specifically with plastic microfibers. As for his own research, Tyndall will touch on new concepts in ecological economics relevant for shifting national priorities.
Tyndall, who has taught environmental economics and has worked overseas in sustainable development, continues to learn about the global environment and share his findings. He is one of two Americans who have been invited to speak with all expenses paid by the Saudi Arabian government.
