Welcome to the Know Show, as we head into our second last show of the season. Join Andrea T Edwards and Joe Augustin (Tim Wade is still on holiday) with Arishta Khanna joining us this week as co-host! Every show, we review the news that’s been capturing attention around the world and are thrilled to have Steve Johnson, a geotechnical engineer, with more than 25 years of civil engineering experience, across five continents, joining us this week.
The theme – engineering climate change - will look into what is changing in our environment and how rapidly, from an engineers’ point of view. The discussion will focus on something we are hearing more and more today, the fact that one in a 100 year events, or even one in a 500 year events, seem to be hitting us every few years now. So why are these measures changing so rapidly, and what does it mean in real terms? How does this impact how our built environment is constructed, when extreme weather events make existing design codes and engineering practices outdated in the face of rapid environmental change?
The Know Show is a Livestream held every Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade and Joe Augustin, and at least one special guest, review the news that’s getting everyone’s attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We’ll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters to all of us.
The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, which are published every Saturday on andreatedwards.com, and covers the climate crisis, Covid 19, topical moments in the world, global politics, business, social issues and passion/humor/history. Join us.
