Oceanographer anticipates dramatic and challenging climate changes
by Kathleen McCoy |
Dr. Robert W. Corell will give a free public lecture titled, "Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities" on Thursday, May 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the Wendy Williamson Auditorium. Corell will address how the Arctic region, more than any other region in the world, provides a bellwether, a "canary-in-the-mine" for the world at-large as climate change impacts more directly lower latitudes in the coming decades.
Dr. Corell will discuss how climate change is taking place within the context of many other ongoing changes, including globalization, poverty and hunger, land use changes, rapid growth in the human population, and changes in cultural, governance, and economic conditions. He will explain how impacts on the environment and society result not from climate change alone, but from the interplay of all of these changes.
