SUMMARY:Carbon aspects of the cycles of metals - Thomas Graedel - Professo
 r of Industrial Ecology\, Yale University

UID:TALK14223@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Jon Cullen
DESCRIPTION:This talk will describe an extensive research project focused 
 on studies of the stocks and flows of materials in the industrialised soci
 ety\, especially in very large cities and in environmentally sensitive reg
 ions. Aspects of resource availability\, potential environmental impacts\,
  opportunities for recycling and reuse\, and resource policy initiatives w
 ill be explored.\n\nThomas Graedel is Clifton R. Musser Professor of Indus
 trial Ecology\, Professor of Chemical Engineering\, Professor of Geology a
 nd Geophysics\, and Director of the Centre for Industrial Ecology at Yale 
 University. Professor Graedel was elected to the U.S. National Academy of 
 Engineering for “outstanding contributions to the theory and practice of
  industrial ecology\, 2002”. His research is centred on developing and e
 nhancing industrial ecology\, the organizing framework for the study of th
 e interactions of the modern technological society with the environment. H
 is textbook\, Industrial Ecology\, co-written with B. R. Allenby of AT&T\,
  was the first book in the field and is now in its second edition. His cur
 rent interests include studies of the flows of materials within the indust
 rial ecosystem and the development of analytical tools to assess the envir
 onmental characteristics of products\, processes\, the service industry\, 
 and urban infrastructures.\n
