Course Details
This interactive lecture is led by the founder and lead inventor of Ice911 Research, a chemical and electrical engineer specializing in MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) with decades of hands-on experience in climate tech innovation and field research.
Delivered in an inverted classroom format during the 2015 UN COP21 Paris Climate Change Conference, the session builds on a full quarter of climate science, engineering, and sustainability coursework. It weaves together real-time policy updates, renewable energy market breakthroughs, the hard science of Arctic ice collapse, the ethics and practice of "soft geoengineering," 7+ years of field testing data from the Ice911 project, and actionable lessons for aspiring climate innovators and entrepreneurs.
The content is designed for undergraduate and graduate students in environmental engineering, climate science, sustainable energy, clean tech entrepreneurship, and environmental policy, with a core focus on turning climate anxiety into tangible, scalable, and ethically sound technical solutions.
