SUMMARY:Energy 2.0: Exploring the Potential of Thermal Energy Networks
DESCRIPTION:What are Thermal Energy Networks (TENs)? Why are they important\, and why should we care? \nIn our region\, heating buildings is both expensive and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. While geothermal systems are not new\, networked geothermal is a new approach — one that is gaining popularity as a strategy to heat and cool buildings at low cost and high efficiency. \nPlease join us for a panel discussion with several national experts to learn about the topic and how using TENS can effectively decarbonize buildings and reduce carbon emissions. \nIn partnership with EcoAction Partners\, Cornet Creek Foundation\, and Telluride Foundation. \nFree and open to the public

SUMMARY:The Last Dive
DESCRIPTION:Telluride Science and Original Thinkers have teamed up to provide the community with some stimulating and thought provoking documentary films. Three films will be shown this winter. \nThe first film in the series is The Last Dive is a powerful documentary that follows the extraordinary journey of Willy and Terry—two men bound by friendship\, resilience\, and a shared love of the ocean. What begins as a personal adventure becomes a deeply moving exploration of healing\, mortality\, and the urgent need to protect our planet’s most fragile marine ecosystems. \nThrough breathtaking underwater footage and intimate storytelling\, the film shows the critical importance of safeguarding manta rays and the vibrant habitats they depend on. \nAt its heart\, The Last Dive is a call to action. After watching\, we hope viewers feel inspired to support manta ray research\, champion marine conservation\, and contribute to initiatives that provide hope and healing to veterans like Terry. \nThe film is free and open to the public. \n

SUMMARY:Carbon Capture: Can Technology Help Slow Climate Change?
DESCRIPTION:Can we fight climate change by capturing carbon before it reaches the atmosphere—or even pulling it back out of the air? \nJoin Telluride Science for an engaging conversation that breaks down the science behind carbon capture and explores whether it can be a meaningful part of our climate solution toolkit. Experts will explain how carbon capture works\, where it’s being used today\, and how new materials and electrochemical processes are making these technologies more efficient and scalable. \nThe discussion will cover: \n\nWhat carbon capture is and how it works\nCapturing carbon from industrial sources vs. directly from the air\nPromises\, limitations\, and common misconceptions\nHow carbon capture fits alongside renewable energy and other climate solutions\n\nThis panel discussion with thought-leading scientists offers a look at the opportunities—and challenges—of using science to address one of the most urgent issues of our time. Panelists include: \n\nDavid Kwabim\, Chemical and Environmental Engineering at Yale University\nMim Rahimi\, College of Engineering at University of Texas\nDavid Sinton\, Lawson Climate Institute at University of Toronto\nYayuan Liu\, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at John Hopkins University\n\nThe event is free and open to the public. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Giants of Time: The Myth\, Mystique\, and Climate Power of the Redwood Forests
DESCRIPTION:Towering\, ancient\, and awe-inspiring\, redwood forests are more than natural wonders—they are living models of climate resilience\, biodiversity\, and long-term stewardship. Join us for an engaging evening with Sam Hodder\, former President and CEO of Save the Redwoods League\, for a wide-ranging conversation on why redwoods matter now more than ever. \nDrawing on more than three decades of leadership in land conservation\, Sam will explore what makes redwoods so extraordinary—from their remarkable biology and longevity to their outsized role in addressing the climate crisis and wildfire resilience. \nSam Hodder brings rare perspective to this conversation. Over a 33-year career in nonprofit land conservation\, including nearly 12 years leading Save the Redwoods League where he helped permanently protect more than 25\,000 acres of redwood forest\, launched California’s most ambitious redwood restoration effort\, and advanced groundbreaking research on redwoods and climate change. \nThis  event\, brought to you by Telluride Science and Telluride Foundation is free and open to the public\, but RSVP is required HERE. \n
