Please join the MIT Club of Puget Sound and the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society for a fascinating look into the impacts of climate change on mountain peak elevations and the challenges associated with measuring their elevations.

 

When: May 7, 2025 from 6pm – 8pm, talk begins at 6:30pm (pizza and drinks available at 6pm)

Where: Sinegal 200 - Oberto Commons (2nd floor): Sinegal Center for Science and Innovation, Seattle University, 901 12th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122

 

Our speaker is Dr. Gilbertson ( MIT SB '08, SM '10, PhD '14) an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Seattle University, where he teaches statics and dynamics courses, and an advanced controls class involving robotics.  Dr. Gilbertson will be discussing his efforts to survey the current elevations of the five last remaining “icecap” peaks of the lower 48 states, which are all in WA (Rainier, Liberty Cap, Eldorado, Colfax, East Fury). These peaks are melting lower, and so now only two remain as icecap peaks. This ongoing lowering of these peak elevations has gone unnoticed since no one had been measuring these changes. His findings on the lowering of Mt Rainier  (https://www.countryhighpoints.com/mt-rainier-elevation-survey/ ) were covered in a variety of media outlets in October 2024 (https://www.countryhighpoints.com/media-coverage/)

 

Dr. Gilbertson received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from MIT. His masters research focused on developing a safety valve for offshore oil wells in collaboration with Chevron. His doctoral dissertation focused on controlling underwater robots in difficult acoustic communication environments, in collaboration with the Office of Naval Research. Before joining SU Dr. Gilbertson taught at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Moscow, Russia, and at the Seattle Colleges.

 

Pizza and a variety of drinks will be available. Please RSVP by April 30, so we can buy the right amount of food. 

 

If you are an MIT alumnus, or otherwise have an account in this system, please be sure to log in before registering since this will connect your registration to your account.

Join researchers from MIT’s K. Lisa Yang Global Engineering and Research (GEAR) Center as they share cutting-edge water and agriculture projects underway across the MENA region. Focused on creating solutions that can feed a growing society in the face of water stress, climate change, and energy limitations, the Yang GEAR Center has realized low-cost, renewable-powered technologies in drip irrigation and desalination that dramatically cut water and energy use while being cost effective for farmers. Now it’s time to bring them to market! Learn how the center’s pioneering approach is building resilience across the region—and how MIT alumni and friends can help drive lasting impact for low-resource communities across MENA.
