Crow鈥檚 address, 鈥淭he Future Of Education: Accelerating Innovation to Advance Accessible and Affordable Learning,鈥 is the last program of the 2018-19 . This particular Chancellor鈥檚 Colloquium has a co-sponsor, the .
His talk is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. in the Vanderhoef Studio Theatre at the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts.
Next, the retired governor will join Oberholster, associate specialist in Cooperative Extension in the Department of Viticulture and Enology, in the series sponsored by the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis Library and the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science. 鈥淲ine, Wildfire and Climate Change鈥 will start at 5:15 p.m. at Shields Library.
The 鈥渟ecret鈥 to hearing Crow, Brown and Oberholster all in the same afternoon lies in the scheduling of the event receptions: One comes before, one comes after.
- Chancellor鈥檚 Colloquium 鈥 Crow鈥檚 talk and a question-and-answer session will be from 4 to 5 p.m. Then comes the reception from 5 to 6 p.m. You could skip the reception entirely and walk to Shields Library in time for the reception there. Or stay for some of the Chancellor鈥檚 Colloquium reception before heading to Shields Library, about a 10-to-15-minute walk.
- 鈥淲ine, Wildfire and Climate Change鈥 鈥 The reception will be from 5:15 to 5:45 p.m. in the Shields Library courtyard, before the program. So, you could arrive a little late from the Chancellor鈥檚 Colloquium but still in time to hear Brown and Oberholster from 6 to 7:15 p.m. inside the library, on the first floor.
Brown left office in January after his 16th year as governor (he first took office in 1975, served two four-year terms, then returned in 2011 to serve two more terms). A leader in environmental sustainability throughout his career, Brown has advanced water conservation and tougher energy efficiency standards. During his final term in office, he broke new ground once again by pushing for greater recognition of the impact of climate change on agriculture 鈥 and the need for California鈥檚 agricultural industry to adopt more climate-friendly practices.
Oberholster studies the influence of growing practices and environmental factors on grape ripening, wine composition and wine quality. In the wake of the 2017 Napa-area wildfires, she began studying how smoke affects grapes and the wine made from them. In 2018, Wine Business Monthly named her one of the 50 most influential leaders in the wine industry.
Catastrophic wildfires, which scientists say are linked to climate change, present many risks and challenges for California 鈥 including, in the wine industry, the tendency for smoke exposure to change the taste of wine. Brown and Oberholster each offer a call to action, from different but complementary perspectives, on what can be done to mitigate the impacts of climate-driven wildfire.
