[All] FW: [env-faculty] More events (Thursday, 10 March): Climate Change Awareness Week

[Gregory C. Michalenko]

A very tardy announcement that just came in.  The talk scheduled for this afternoon should provide a good summary of the most recent news on climate change - and what we have to do.

Subject: [env-faculty] More events (Thursday, 10 March): Climate Change Awareness Week

Dear colleagues,

This is a reminder that two more events will be taking place tomorrow as part of Climate Change Awareness Week.


LUNCH HOUR TALK:

Date: Thursday, March 10
Time: 12:00 - 1:30pm
Speaker: Michael Strickland, University of Waterloo
Title: Media Relations for Academics
Location: PAS 1241

Details: Michael Strickland, University’s Assistant Director of Media Relations, shares his insights about how academics can deal with the media.

STUDENT COLLOQUIUM

Date: Thursday, March 10

Location: Festival Room, South Campus Hall
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Danny Harvey, University of Toronto
Time: 4:00 - 5:00pm
Location: Festival Room, South Campus Hall
Title: Global Warming: latest observations, future projections, and what we need to do

Details: Danny Harvey is Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Toronto. He studied Geography at the University of British Columbia (B.Sc.) and University of Toronto (M.Sc. & Ph.D.), obtaining his Ph.D. in 1986. Dr. Harvey pursues research in the areas of computer climate modelling as well as options to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases associated with energy use. His modeling work is focused on understanding past climatic changes and projection of future climatic change due to emissions of greenhouse gases, with a particular emphasis on coupled climate-carbon cycle models and the impacts of different future global energy scenarios.
He has published three dozen articles, served as lead author on IPCC Technical Report No.2 (An Introduction to Simple Climate Models Used in the IPCC Second Assessment Report), and has published two books: "Global Warming: The Hard Science", Prentice Hall, 2000 (a graduate-level textbook), and "Climate and Global Environmental Change", Prentice Hall, 2000 (an undergraduate-level textbook). He is also on the editorial board of the journal, "Climate Change".
>From 1989 to 1995, Dr. Harvey served as co-chair of the City of Toronto's Special Advisory Committee on the Environment which was instrumental in setting up the City of Toronto's greenhouse gas emission reduction programme - the first city in the world to adopt a programme to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the local level.

Dr. Harvey's talk will be followed by a poster session by graduate students of IC3 (5:00-7:00). Refreshments will be served.
Best regards,

Claude
