Title: Talks Archives-Environmental Science Institute
Url: https://www.esi.utexas.edu/community-engagement/hot-science-cool-talks...
Publisher: University of Texas at Austin. Environmental Science Institute
Description: The Environmental Science Institute (ESI) at the University of Texas at Austin is dedicated to "fostering environmental research, education, and outreach across disciplines." To this end, the ESI has developed a set of resources for educators, including a nice series of lectures dating back to 1999. This section of the site provides interested parties with access to 77 of these talks, which address topics like fracking, dark energy, the evolution of human vision, and autonomous robots. Visitors can browse through the lectures at their leisure, and will find supplementary materials accompanying most of the talks. Users are encouraged to use these lectures in a variety of ways, and it is easy to imagine that the talks could be used in the classroom or in other informal settings. First-time visitors may wish to start by watching "CSI-Texas: The Science of Sleuthing" and "The History and Futures of Whales," two particularly intriguing lectures. Microsoft's SilverLight is required to view the lectures.
