Oceanside Chat with leading scientist Peter Gleick

You are warmly invited to HydroDAO's next Oceanside Chat with leading scientist Peter Gleick on Thursday, June 29th @ 9:00 am PST.

Dr. Peter Gleick is a leading scientist, innovator, and author focusing on global water and climate issues. He co-founded the Pacific Institute in Oakland, one of the most innovative, independent non-governmental water organizations addressing the connections between the environment and global sustainability. Dr. Gleick’s work has redefined water from the realm of engineers to the world of sustainability, human rights, and integrated thinking. Peter pioneered the concept of the “soft path for water,” developed the idea of “peak water,” and actively advocates for a “local water movement.”

Among many other honors, Gleick received the prestigious MacArthur “genius” Fellowship, the U.S. Water Prize, and has been named “a visionary on the environment” by the BBC. He was elected in 2006 to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. In 2018 he was awarded the Carl Sagan Prize for Science Popularization.

Peter is the author/editor of many scientific papers and books, including The World's Water series, Bottled and Sold: The Story Behind Our Obsession with Bottled Water, A 21st Century U.S. Water Policy, and most recently, his new book The Three Ages of Water.

Our Oceanside Chat will be a highly interactive session with Peter and our HydroDAO community.

HydroDAO is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
