On May 27, the Earth and Life Institute is pleased to welcome Dr. Benjamin Goldstein for a new ELI-Sustainability Talk. 

Abstract

TBA

The guest

Dr. Benjamin Goldstein is Assistant Professor of Environment and Sustainability and head of the Sustainable Urban-Rural Futures (SURF) Lab. The SURF Lab studies and emphasizes urban sustainability at multiple scales. 

Through his work at the SURF Lab, Benjamin helps understand how urban processes and urban form drive the consumption of materials and energy in cities and produce environmental change inside and outside cities. 

He develops methods and tools to quantify the scale of these changes and the locations where they occur using life cycle assessment, input-output analysis, geospatial data, and approaches from data science. 

Benjamin Goldstein is particularly interested in combining quantitative methods with theory rooted in social science to explore multiple dimensions of sustainability and address issues of distributive justice. 

His topical foci include urban food systems (esp. urban agriculture), agri-commodities, residual resource engineering, global supply chains, sustainable production and consumption, and energy systems.

Practical

This seminar will be held on May 27 from 13:00 to 14:00 in Ocean room (de Serres building, Place Croix du Sud 2, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium).
