What do we know about early warning for mass atrocities and how can we improve it? In this lecture, Professor Valentino will discuss the state of the field of atrocity early warning, and describe his work on the Early Warning Project. The Early Warning Project is a joint initiative of the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the Dickey Center for International Understanding at Dartmouth College. The Early Warning Project produces risk assessments of the potential for mass atrocities around the world by combining state-of-the-art quantitative and qualitative analysis. The project aims to give governments, advocacy groups, and at-risk societies earlier and more reliable warning, and thus more opportunity to take action, before such killings occur.

Dr. Leslie Vinjamuri of SOAS University interviews Professor Scott D. Sagan of Stanford University and Professor Ben Valentino of Dartmouth on "The Nuclear Necessity Principle: Ethics, Law, and the Risk of Nuclear War". Can the use of nuclear weapons be morally justified? The Obama Administration’s 2013 nuclear weapons guidelines directed the U.S. military to ensure that all nuclear war plans “apply the principles of distinction and proportionality and seek to minimize collateral damage to civilian populations and civilian objects". At the same time, recent polls show that many Americans support using nuclear weapons first, if necessary, to avoid U.S. military casualties. What are the future risks of nuclear weapons use and how can they be minimized? Scott D. Sagan is the Caroline S.G. Munro Professor of Political Science, the Mimi and Peter Haas University Fellow in Undergraduate Education, and Senior Fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation and the Freeman Spogli Institute at Stanford University. He also serves as Project Chair for the American Academy of Arts and Sciences’ Initiative on New Dilemmas in Ethics, Technology, and War and as Senior Advisor for the American Academy of Arts and Sciences’ Global Nuclear Future Initiative. Before joining the Stanford faculty, Sagan was a lecturer in the Department of Government at Harvard University. From 1984 to 1985, he served as special assistant to the director of the Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon. Sagan has also served as a consultant to the office of the Secretary of Defense and at the Sandia National Laboratory and the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Benjamin Valentino is an Associate Professor of Government at Dartmouth College. His research interests include the causes and consequences of violent conflict and American foreign and security policies. At Dartmouth he teaches courses on international relations, international security, American foreign policy, the causes and prevention of genocide and serves as co-director the Government Department Honors Program. He is also the faculty coordinator for the War and Peace Studies Program at Dartmouth’s Dickey Center for International Understanding. Professor Valentino’s book, Final Solutions: Mass Killing and Genocide in the 20th Century, received the Edgar S. Furniss Book Award for making an exceptional contribution to the study of national and international security. His work has appeared in outlets such as The New York Times, Foreign Affairs, The American Political Science Review, Security Studies, International Organization, Public Opinion Quarterly, World Politics and The Journal of Politics. He is currently working on several research projects focusing on public opinion on the use of force, civilian and military casualties in interstate wars and developing early warning models of large-scale violence against civilians.

On Tuesday, April 8th, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright participated in a wide-ranging conversation with Ambassador Daniel Benjamin, Director of the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding at Dartmouth.

Sunlight Absorption on the Greenland ice sheet Experiment (SAGE)" Tuesday, January 07 2014, 12:00pm - 1:30pm 041 Haldeman Center Chris Polashenski, PhD, Research Geophysicist, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laborator (CRREL) Big changes are happening on the Greenland Ice Sheet. Trends show increasing melt extent, longer melt seasons, lower surface albedo, higher ice temperatures, and increased ice flow. All of these are important because the Greenland Ice Sheet is a major potential contributor to sea level rise. Zoe Courville, PhD, and Chris Polashenski, PhD, at the US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) are leading a series of studies aimed at better understanding how albedo feedbacks are contributing to enhanced melt on the ice sheet. These studies are organized around large scale traverses of the ice sheet, observing albedo, snow properties, light absorbing impurity concentrations, and firn temperatures, and synthesizing data from the traverses with remote sensing observations and large scale modeling. The first traverse occurred from April-June 2013 and preliminary results will be presented. Part of the traverse followed the route pioneered by the godfather of Greenland research, Carl Benson. Replicating Benson's observations shows substantial warming has occurred in mid altitudes of the ice sheet. The traverse also found enhanced black carbon concentrations in the 2012 melt layer. We analyze these to assess the role that black carbon deposition may have played in the 2012 melt event, and compare the impacts of black carbon with grain metamorphosis. Finally we discuss plans for 2014 and invite comments and discussion. Dr. Polashenski is a research geophysicist with the Terrestrial and Cryospheric Sciences Branch at CRREL specializing in the physical properties of sea ice and snow. He received his undergraduate degree and a doctoral degree in material engineering from the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth, and is a veteran of Dartmouth's NSF IGERT program on polar environmental change. Now he leads research programs exploring processes of the cryosphere, particularly those that influence energy balance feedbacks, such as melt pond formation on sea ice, aerosol deposition in snow, and snow grain metamorphosis.
