[Durham INC] Urban Planet talk

[Will Wilson]

FYI:

This Urban Planet
Thu, April 2, 2015, 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM

More and more of us live in urban environments. What does that mean for 
both the environment and for our health and well-being? Will Wilson 
presents the essential aspects of an urban climate and discusses how 
they impact temperature and air quality. He will outline the value of an 
urban forest and ask whether disparities in the urban tree canopy echo 
inequalities in other community resources. Using examples from across 
the U.S. – including Durham – we will understand more about the choices 
that challenge our communities, and the solutions.

Instructor: Will Wilson, associate professor, Department of Biology,
