Advances in Science -- 2/18/21 Daypass -- Welcome to the AnthropoceneProfessor Ben van der Pluijm Today’s rapid environmental change from human actions and ongoing geologic activity of our planet require that modern human society is able to prepare, absorb, respond and adapt to adverse conditions, captured by the concept of ‘Societal Resilience’. Scientific understanding of the challenges is required for meaningful action. Ben van der Pluijm is BR Clark Collegiate Professor of Geology and Professor of the Environment at the University of Michigan. His research areas are Structure/Tectonics, dealing with the geologic evolution of Earth’s crust from minerals to mountains, and Geohazards and Societal Resilience, dealing with planet-human interactions.
