Host Dave Schlom visits with two UC Davis professors to discuss one of the most important yet problematic elements on the Periodic Table: Carbon.
First up, we talked to Frances Moore from the UCD Department of Environmental Science and Policy to discuss a paper she co-authored on the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC).
The SCC is a calculated and studied aspect of the global economy, and Moore et al. have determined that we have been underestimating this important cost.
Then, Dave interviews Gabbie Sabbie Miller from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on innovative ways that carbon can be removed from the global geochemical cycle and stored in building materials.
