Unanticipated Outcomes: Science and Society | Brian Stump | TEDxGreenhillSchool
Professor Brian Stump discusses the unexpected impacts of fracking and resource extraction. With a focus both on the local community and on a global scale, Professor Stump's talk will resonate for years to come.
Brian Stump joined the faculty of Department of Geological Sciences at Southern Methodist University in 1983 and now holds the Albritton Chair of Geological Sciences. Stump was the 2004 Dedman Family Distinguished Professor and in 2006 was awarded the Phi Beta Kappa Perrine Prize. Brian’s research focuses on the utilization of waves in the atmosphere and the solid earth as tools for assessing both the material through which the waves propagate as well as the characteristics of the source that generates the waves and has led to in excess of 100 contributions. His initial work focusing on seismic waveforms from nuclear explosions found application in identification, location and yield determination and motivated his contribution to the test ban treaty negotiations. He and his graduate students have had a continuously, well-funded research program for over 25 years. He also contributes in this area as the Chair of the Department of Defense Seismic Review Panel.
