Energy Discussions: The Climate Science We Need

September 30, 2011,
12:00pm - 1:00pm

Speaker: Dan Chavas, Marty Singh, Tim Cronin
Abstract: What areas of policy-relevant climate research are strongest? Where are areas for potential advances in climate research in the medium-term? What are areas where the science is strong, but the policy ideas have not yet incorporated? And what are the kind of questions that climate science just can't answer in the near future? We need to understand these kinds of questions to craft effective climate and energy policy.
Join members of the MIT Energy Club and the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Science for a round-table on these questions and their implications. You can prepare for this discussion by attending the MIT Energy Club Climate Science 101 lecture on Wednesday, 28 Sept.
A light lunch will be served.
