Pam Matson, former dean of Stanford Earth, and Julia Novy-Hildesley, a professor in the Change Leadership for Sustainability program, will lead a two-and-a-half-day seminar in Palo Alto.

A Rutgers climate scientist highlights former Stanford Earth dean Pam Matson as a pioneer in recognizing "stakeholders outside of academia as critical partners throughout the research process."

Thompson's dedication to Stanford spanned seven decades, from his years as a student to research contributions as a faculty member.

Sustainability efforts today are critical to meet the needs of people now and over the long term, and Stanford has a leadership role.
