The Institute for Applied Sustainability at SOU proudly invites you to the Fall Podium to Pub networking and speaker event.

On December 4th at 4:00pm, Dr. Wayne Hung (Chemistry) will present, “From Southern California to Southern Oregon: The Legacy of Metal Pollution, Wildfire, and Environmental Justice”.

Discover how research on urban metal pollution in Los Angeles can shed light on environmental contamination, wildfire impacts, and environmental justice issues here in the Rogue Valley. This talk will share preliminary findings from a summer soil metal assessment. Happy hour event to follow as we move from the podium (SOU) to the pub (Growler Guys).

Location: SOU Campus, Stevenson Union room 319, Ashland, Oregon
