Speaker: Prof. Laurence C. Smith | John Atwater and Diana Nelson University Professor of Environmental Studies, Institute at Brown for Environment and Society (IBES)

Topic: Rivers of Power - How an Ancient Force Rules Us Still.

This talk will explore some of the many ways that humans have used rivers over time, and how we continue to do so today. Since our earliest cities established along the Tigris-Euphrates, Indus, Nile, and Yellow Rivers, anthropogenic use of rivers has changed over time and varied by region.  Yet their critical importance has persisted because they provide five fundamental benefits: access, natural capital, territory, well-being, and a means of projecting power. The manifestations of these benefits have changed, but societal demands for them have not.
