Please join us for the next installment in the second season of our groundbreaking film series, Global Frontiers, on Saturday, February 24th at 5 p.m.
The Global Frontiers series is designed to bring two kinds of audiences together: Those who love films and those who care about contemporary issues.
This month’s topic is climate change. We will be screening two films: The 45-minute documentary Earthstorm (2022), in which storm chasers, survivors and first responders recount their harrowing experiences with volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes; and the short documentary High Tech Climate Change (2023), which explores the possibility of smart ideas saving our planet.
For this event, we are fortunate to have a highly distinguished researcher from the University of Miami College of Engineering, Professor Landolf Rhode-Barbarigos, joining us. His research delves into structural morphology and morphogenesis, exploring these concepts to design future structures. His work spans marine and coastal structures, building and infrastructure systems, and even space structures. Particularly relevant for South Florida and coastal communities worldwide is his focus on green/gray protective structures. The pilot installations he co-designed with local communities have garnered significant media attention.
Admission is free but registration required at link above. Hope to see you there!
