Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton and Dean Barbara A. Schaal look forward to your attendance at the installation of Douglas Wiens, Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences, as the Robert S. Brookings Distinguished Professor in Arts & Sciences.

Wiens specializes in seismology and geophysics and has done extensive research on large deep earthquakes in the Pacific Ocean. He also is researching the seismology of Antarctica. He has taught courses on earth forces, seismology, environmental geophysics and geodynamics. Through his research on the melting of ice sheets and the ensuing sea-level rise, Wiens is uniquely positioned to talk about climate change.
