Location Details: Register for Zoom link Open to Public: Yes Link: https://www.fletcherexeced.com/event-details/webinar-beijing-nuclear-evolution-us-china-relations China is in the midst of the most significant nuclear expansion and modernization in the country’s history. It is fielding a growing number of more advanced nuclear-capable delivery systems and may be considering changes to how it postures those systems. This shift in China’s nuclear forces has come against the backdrop of a deterioration in U.S.-China relations, raising concerns about the possibility of a crisis or conflict that could escalate to the nuclear level.   This presentation draws on open source intelligence, security studies theory, and the history of China's strategic weapons programs to analyze the trajectory of China’s nuclear forces, the drivers potentially shaping that trajectory, and implications for U.S.-China relations.

New species are discovered on almost every deep-sea dive, and even with increased exploration efforts, we are still discovering massive underwater mountains, canyons, and other features. Yet, even with so much unknown, decisions cannot wait for discovery. In an era of global change, biological communities in even the most remote parts of our planet are feeling the impact of human societies and are vulnerable to depletion or extinction. To combat this, global targets for protection have set a goal of protecting 30% of oceans by 2030. In this talk, we will discuss how to explore the unexplored, and how to protect the unprotected.
