The spring issue of Terra will feature a story about climate modeling. If you can’t wait for the magazine (scheduled to launch the week of April 20), here’s an opportunity to hear directly from the experts. Starting April 1, Oregon State University will host a seminar series on climate change. First up: Ricardo Matano, on the oceans and climate.
The series is coordinated by the Global Environmental Change Organization, an OSU student group.
These talks will be held each Wednesday spring term beginning at 3:30 p.m. in Burt Hall 193. They are free and open to the public. The series is sponsored by OSU’s College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences and the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute.
