Yet most research does not lead to solutions, even when the proposals that launched the research promised solutions. University and government researchers could address this longtime peril by including clear theories of change in project development, and co-creating and co-executing projects across disciplines and sectors. This would require alignment of funding and infrastructure to support such mission-driven research. In a rapidly changing government landscape, I will examine past examples of the role of research and technology development in driving change in policies, practices, and products. While I do not promise to resolve all the promises and perils, I will suggest some possible ways forward for solutions-oriented sustainability research in government and universities.\r\n\r\nAbout the speaker: Dr. David M. Lodge is the Francis J. DiSalvo director of Cornell University\u2019s Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability. He is an internationally recognized environmental scientist, with expertise in environmental risk assessment, freshwater and marine coastal ecology, ecosystem services, bioeconomics, and invasive species. His research has improved ecological forecasting to better inform environmental risk assessment, natural resource management, and policy development. Lodge is a leader in the development and application of environmental DNA (eDNA), a transformative technological tool for discovering unrecognized biodiversity, censusing aquatic biodiversity, and improving the management of imperiled, invasive, or harvested species. He is past president of the Ecological Society of America, and former senior science advisor in the US Department of State\u2019s Office of Polar Affairs. On numerous occasions he has testified before the U.S. Congress, and served as an expert witness in federal court. He is faculty member in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University.", "occurrence_notes":"Registration Required for in person attendence", "guid":"132833-21871936@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/132833", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"", "location_name":"4840 S State Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48109", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Lecture","seminar","Research","Public Policy","Great Lakes","Free","Environmental Policy"], "website":"http:\/\/ciglr.seas.umich.edu\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR)", "group_id":"3432", "website":"http:\/\/ciglr.seas.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/crop-event_132833_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":2, "first_occurrence":21871936 } , "129730-21864488": { "datetime_modified":"20250320T102041", "datetime_start":"20250320T110000", "datetime_end":"20250320T123000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-03-20", "date_end":"2025-03-20", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"12:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"MORE Mentoring (Faculty Only): Mentoring Across Difference 2.0", "occurrence_title":"MORE Mentoring (Faculty Only): Mentoring Across Difference 2.0", "combined_title":"MORE Mentoring (Faculty Only): Mentoring Across Difference 2.0: Mentoring Across Difference (M.A.D.) 2.0: MORE Mentoring (Faculty Only): Mentoring Across Difference 2.0", "event_subtitle":"Mentoring Across Difference (M.A.D.) 2.0", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Developed by the MORE Committee, this workshop is for those faculty who have attended a \"Getting Your Mentoring Off to a Good Start\" workshop within the past two academic years.
