Ithaca College

Please join the Physics Department Monday, March 21, 2011 from 7:30 PM – 10:00 PM in Emerson Suites for a talk with Gavin Schmidt, a climate modeller at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York and co-author of "Climate Change: Picturing the Science" published by W. W. Norton (2009).

"Climate Change: Picturing the Science"

How do we know what we know about climate change? Climate science 
connects meteorology, oceanography, mathematics and history in 
order to explain what has happened in the past, what is happening 
now and what we might expect for the future. In this presentation, 
Gavin Schmidt pulls together images from all around the world that 
illustrate how scientists go about this task and what they have 
learned so far. He will explore both the implications and the 
limitations of that knowledge, and what that means for the human 
impact on climate into the future. Join us for a look at one of 
the most important issues of our time!
