Why Is Roland Clift Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Roland Clift is a chemical engineering professor widely known for his work and media contributions on the topic of sustainability. Career Clift was born 19 November 1942 and studied Chemical Engineering at Cambridge , achieving first class honours in 1964. He received a PhD from McGill University in 1970 for work on particle-fluid interactions, and this was his main research area in subsequent years. He became Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Surrey in 1981. His growing interest in the application of engineering principles to environmental issues led him in 1992 to establish the Centre for Environmental Strategy at the University of Surrey, a multidisciplinary group of engineers, scientists and social scientists. In this Centre he was an advocate of Clean Technology, Life Cycle Assessment and Sustainable Development. He is presently professor emeritus at the CES. He has made a number of criticisms of government policy with respect to energy and the environment. He moved to British Columbia in 2018. He is an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria.
