Global Warming Guaranteed: What the Ocean Tells Us About Climate Change
Date: 01/26/11 6:15 pm - 01/26/11 8:30 pm
Location: NASA JPL
COSEE West and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Earth Science EPO present this FREE lecture in the 2010-2011 series, co-sponsored by Boeing1. The lecture will take place in the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena, CA, in the von Karman Auditorium (the auditorium will open to the public after 5:30 pm). The Educator's Session will follow the lecture at 7:30 pm.
Speaker
Dr. Joshua Willis, Oceanographer, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Topic
Absorbing more than 80 percent of the increased atmospheric heat resulting from human activities, the World Ocean sets the pace for global warming. Our rising and warming seas provide a poignant reminder of our influence on our climate. Dr. Willis will discuss some of the major ways in which the ocean influences the global climate.
Dr. Willis studies global warming, sea level rise and the role of the ocean in our global climate. Josh was also a contributing author to the 2007 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace prize with Vice President Al Gore. In 2009, he was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
