 llulosic Ethanol: Are We Finished with Forty Years of Being 
 Five Years away from Commercialization?\" Kathy Halvorsen\, 
 Michigan Technological University.\n--------------------\nAb
 stract\nAs we search for solutions to climate change and dom
 estic energy insecurity\, cellulosic ethanol has emerged (ye
 t again) as a valuable approach to both problems.  It can be
  created from a wide range of plant-based feedstocks that ar
 e themselves available in massive quantities.  Because of th
 is feedstock flexibility\, most U.S. regions have the potent
 ial to procure sufficient feedstock quantities to supply mul
 tiple commercial plants.  Much of this feedstock is not bein
 g used for food or other purposes\, thus avoiding competitio
 n with other markets and needs.  State and federal governmen
 ts have invested many millions of dollars in cellulosic etha
 nol research\, development\, and loan guarantees.  In additi
 on\, the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) in
 cluded a progressively expanding\, mandatory market for cell
 ulosic ethanol that maxes out at 16 billion gallons consumed
  per year in 2022.  However\, no commercial-scale U.S. cellu
 losic ethanol plant is operational despite this favorable po
 licy climate and massive investment.  This presentation focu
 ses on the policy dimensions of this history\, the challenge
 s behind commercialization\, and a projection for the future
  of this biofuel form.\n\nContact: beghin@iastate.edu\nPhone

 -\nGeologist David R. Montgomery is the author of Dirt: The 
 Erosion of Civilizations\, a mix of history\, archaeology an

 University of Washington\, where he studies the evolution of
  topography and how geological processes shape landscapes an
 d influence ecological systems. Montgomery studied geology a
 t Stanford University before earning his PhD in geomorpholog
 y at the University of California\, Berkeley. His other book
 s include King of Fish: The Thousand-Year Run of Salmon and 
 the recently published The Rocks Don't Lie: A Geologist Inve

  Conservation in North America - Jeremy Kerr
LOCATION:Great Hall\, Memorial Union

UID:http://www.event.iastate.edu/event/30529
DESCRIPTION:http://www.event.iastate.edu/event/30529\n\nUniv
 ersity of Ottawa biologist Jeremy Kerr studies how biodivers
 ity is changing as a consequence of climate change. His lab 
 recently launched the eButterfly Project\, allowing scientis
 ts and the public across North America to monitor the number
 s and migratory paths of butterflies\, which are often viewe
 d as indicators of environmental change. Paul L. Errington M
 emorial Lecture\n--------------------\nJeremy Kerr's researc
 h program has had practical applications for continental-sca
 le species- and habitat-conservation efforts. It has also be
 en used to predict how changing environmental conditions aff
 ect the abundance of disease-carrying species and the preval
 ence of vector-borne illnesses like malaria. He teaches lect
 ure and field courses in aspects of ecology in Ottawa and Ta
 nzania.\n\nKerr has helped organize and develop science cons
 ensus statements on requirements for effective endangered sp
 ecies legislation in Ontario and the need for boreal wildern
 ess conservation. Such policy efforts have been accompanied 
 by substantial media communications in Canada and the US. He
  was awarded an Early Researcher Award in 2007 and the Young
  Researcher of the Year award at University of Ottawa in 201
 0.\n\nKerr completed his B.Sc. in Biology at the University 
 of Ottawa\, completing a thesis testing different human caus
 es of extinction risk around the world. He went on to gradua
 te work at York University\, where he won the Governor Gener
 al's Gold Medal. He accepted a postdoctoral position with Pr
 ofessor Lord Robert May in Zoology at Oxford\, also working 
 with Sir Richard Southwood. He joined the Canada Centre for 
 Remote Sensing in September 2000 and moved to the University
  of Ottawa in 2002.\n\nContact: lectures@iastate.edu\nPhone:
