ESG investing is a form of sustainable investing that considers environmental, social and governance factors to judge an investment’s financial returns and its overall impact. An investment’s ESG score measures the sustainability of an investment in those specific categories. According to the US SIF Foundation’s 2020 trends report, U.S. assets under management using ESG strategies grew to $17.1 trillion at the beginning of 2020. That’s a 42% increase from $12 trillion at the beginning of 2018. ARCS Foundation Oregon is hosting a presentation on ESG investing featuring experts in the field from Becker Capital Management.

On Wednesday, February 1 at 7 pm PCT, ARCS Foundation Oregon is hosting a unique, virtual tour of the JOIDES Resolution, a research vessel located in the Christiana-Santorini-Kolumbo Marine Volcanic Field in Greece. The JOIDES Resolution is the temporary home for a team of more than 30 scientists who are studying volcanic cores from this historic eruption site.    About 800 million people are threatened by volcanic eruptions around the globe: high plumes of ash, ground-hugging flows of hot ash and rock, earthquakes, and associated tsunamis. The Christiana, Santorini, and Kolumbo volcanic group in the Aegean Sea of Greece is particularly hazardous because the volcanoes have produced many eruptions in the past, and some of them were highly explosive. Santorini is an iconic volcano because of its well-known eruption in the Late Bronze Age, and it is a major tourist destination. Much has been learned about the eruption history of the Aegean volcanoes on land, but most of their volcanic products lie on the seafloor, requiring research to move offshore.
