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!
